Great-- Until it died.......2001-08-12

This is the 2nd (and last) Epson printer I have had trouble with. I used this printer for home use-- mostly text-- for about 2 years. It is very fast and has good layout options. On the down side the replacement cartridges are expensive and the system that tells you to replace them unreliable. (You can fool the computer into thinking you've put a new one in by lifting up the old one and quickly putting it back in, I learned) The other day (after using it that morning) I turned the printer on and it turned itself off. I have fooled with it to no avail. Epson does NOT have an 800 number and was not very helpful-- even about providing a place for me to bring it for repairs.

Good deal........2001-05-26

The price was good (especially after the rebate) and the print quality is excellent. In fact, the only real gripe I have with this machine is that it seems to be the only model of Epson printer for which archival inks are not available. But if you're not bothered by that, by all means get one.

more junk from epson.......2000-08-27

if i can stop anyone else from making the same mistake as our company and not buy epson trash, this review will be worth it.the drive mechs in their printers stink and have failed repeatedly in all the various models we've tried.top that off with the rudest customer service in the world and you have a company we will no longer deal with.HP makes a superior product and always responds well.Epson is just junk.

Quality Photographs but slow.......2000-07-24

Our company had bought 4 of these printers for our sales team. we use these printers for selling our product. the pictures come out great! this is a very good printer to use. the down side...Its slow. especially if you have BIG print jobs. 300-600 sheets a day. We eventually purchased a colored laser printer.I purchased this printer for home use and it died exactly 12 months later. But, Epson honored my warranty six days after it had expired. Now, i have a new stylus 900 and even purchased the Epson C80.

Great performance with significant annoyances.......2000-07-15

I've had this printer for over a year. On the plus side, this Epson prints very fast in both B&W and in color, and the printed pages and photos it turns out look great. On the negative side, two or three times a week, it has to go through a noisy and annoying one-minute-plus cycle to warm up before printing even one page, it needs head cleaning multiple times(done by an included software utility) about every three weeks which can take another three to five minutes of cycling or else I see gaps in the printouts, it runs very noisily when it is printing, and it goes through black ink cartridges faster than I'd like. Bottom line, when I have to do it over again, I'll go back to HP despite the high quality and speed of the Epson's printing, because my HP printers don't do the things that annoy me about the Epson Stylus Color 900.
