Summary: Great little printer!
Comment: I see a lot of people complaining about clogging up ink jets...I wonder if they know that you should actually turn an ink jet printer off if you aren't going to use it for a few days. It seats the cartridge properly. I have had no trouble with that.
I've had my printer for 2 years and it works just fine, even on photos. It's really been a bargain for the price! I print my photos at 360 dpi, works just fine.

Summary: Ditto - I too HATE this infernal printer !!!
Comment: this printer has ruined any joy or anticipation that might come from digital photography. the constant clogging and multiple cleaning passes required whenever i decide to print has made printing torture. so why dont i smash this infernal japanese torture machine with a baseball bat? dont think i havent fantasized long and hard about it, 'just wait till the cartridge is empty' i tell myself, which takes all of 10 pages, but nooo i buy another cartridge! why? why? why do i go on with this living hell? yes, i need a new printer, but will i ever buy another epson anything? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Constant Clogging
Comment: This printer would have to be the worst printer I have ever owned. Though I have never had good luck with any inkjet printer in the past, this particular printer takes the award for worst ever. The nozzles CONSTANTLY clog and you are left with gaps and smears throughout your printed pages. The only way I can get it to make a decent print is to run the head cleaning utility a minimum of 4 times before I print.

Summary: Worst printer I have ever had!
Comment: I have never had a printer more annoying and troublesome than this printer. I love the color that Epson printers can achieve but this printer has given me so much headache.
The Epson Stylus Photo 820 Inkjet Printer is incredibly noisy and cannot sit on the desk idle. It will move and adjust itself for no apparent reason, constantly. Its movement is so jerky it shakes my desk. When printing, it's slow and the printer also tends to drag in more than one sheet of paper. The printer is also extremely sensitive and just about anything can make the ink smudge on the next print out.
Most Epson ink will dry out within three months or less and it's Epson's way to get more money out of you. Still though... Epson color is the best I know of if you're printing from home and to get that wonderful color that matches up to the color on your screen is no easy feat. If you really must get an Epson printer go for something a little more expensive or a newer model.

Comment: Like almost everyone else on this site, I loathe this printer, primarily for its insatiable appetite for ink. Really inexcusable, how poorly this device performs.
