Customer Reviews

Rating: - Better than the Kodak shop on the corner!
When I bought this printer, I was not upgrading anything.I was acting on a suspicion.

That suspicion was that ink-jet photo printing had finally arrived for the average person.

And it has!!!

The Epson prints will be a little more expensive than the prints you get from the neighborhood Kodak shop, BUT they will be BETTER!

So my advice would be to preview all your photos on your computer, take off the most promising lot to be printed by Kodak, and ... Read More
Rating: - Good enough for me
I'm rating this 4 stars, but really that's arbitrary. This printer is good enough for me (even though I'm hassling with it right now trying to get it to locate CD print correctly under Vista.)

I like the Epson Photo Stylus series for one reason: Quality of print. Epson isn't for everyone. In particular, Epson uses a dye that sits on the surface of into the paper, and so it prints best on high-priced photo or matte papers, which have the best surfaces. The inks are brilliant and make for ... Read More
Rating: - Full ink cartridges register as empty and printer will not work!
I bought this printer and it printed 4,8x10 pictures very nicely. I printed a few pages of text. All was well and I was happy.

Now, the horror story. Ink cartridges register as about 90% full one day. Next day,all of the cartridges register as EMPTY.

I took them all out, cleaned the contact with alcohol, placed them back in. Again all cartridges are empty. Although, if shaken gently there is plenty of ink. The printer will not allow me to print and there is no override for ... Read More
Rating: - "Epson Tech support is the very best!".....
I like to create video/photo slideshows. Some people call them "presentations".....so, after I've created the slideshow, I burn it onto a dvd, put a picture on the disk and a title also. I then insert the dvd into the Epson R280 and what I get is something to behold!....its's NEVER failed me!...thats why I Love this Epson R280..

And, I only paid $99.00 for it. And, yes, I've also read some of the one star reviews on this Amazon site and I could not disagree more with their opinions. Look, its ... Read More
Rating: - Use it to print on CDs/DVDs
Ok, I'm something of an expert on this series of Epson printers. I'm an independent musician that prints a LOT of CDs, and I sell them. So my opinion is here is by someone who uses this printer a LOT, and has been using this particular series of printers for a few years now.

1) This printer is honestly terrible. Firstly, the ink is extremely expensives (all ink is, I realize). It eats ink fast, and so, I own a laser printer for all paper printing. I don't know about printing photos, as I am strongly ... Read More
