Summary: Extremely frustrated. Won't buy another Epson printer.
Comment: I wish I had done more research before buying my cheapie printer. All this Epson does is eat up ink. Within a couple weeks, I had trouble with nozzles clogging. (as mentioned by many other reviewers) This printer has a smart chip too. You can't print when one cartridge runs out of ink and you are supposed to use only Epson ink cartridges. I initially stuck with Epson cartridges. The printer would clog if you didn't print every three seconds (not once a week as the manual says), I don't think it matters what cartridge you use. Epson's cartridges clog as well as cheaper replacement cartridges. I almost always have to clean the nozzles before I print anything. I'm ready to throw this thing out the window. I can't even print in B/W if the color cartridge goes out due to the smart chip. Ahhhhh! It prints great photos when you can get the nozzles cleaned, but since it eats up so much ink cleaning those nozzles, the cost effectiveness of printing your own photos is a joke. Save your money and get a Canoni860, they sound like the best out there or take your CD of images and have a lab print them. That would have to be less costly than this printer.

Summary: Meh
Comment: This is an average printer that is cheap to buy for one reason. They'll make it up on the ink. I am a photographer and have this as a small side printer to a larger 7600. This eats ink faster than any other I've seen. And to go with genuine Epson inks ( the only inks to use for photos ) you pay a lot... and often. I do many 8x10 prints from this machine and I'm lucky to get, say, 10 before the ink light comes on. That's another thing. You are not given much notice to running low. The ink status routinely lies, going from 1/2 full to running out. If I could go back in time, I would have gone with a Canon i860. Seperate ink cartridges are bound to save you money.

Comment: This printer printed the best quality photos I could have imagined. For a few days, test print after test print was great.

Summary: Junk
Comment: Little more than a disposable product. Once you use up the initial cartridges, good luck getting this POS to ever work again. If I could rate it negative stars I would, horrible printer.

Comment: I purchased my Epson Stylus Photo 820 in February of 2002. Within a year I began to experience poor print quality. No amount of troubleshooting or head cleaning would fix the problems. In 2003 the machine began to have trouble grabbing paper, and by October it ceased to work at all. After some online research, I replaced it with a Canon.

Once the novelty wore off, I set the printer aside until I needed it, about two weeks later.
At that point, the printer was ruined. The print heads were permanently clogged, and no amount of clean cycles, new ink cartridges, and alcohol pads and q-tips could help it.
This is absolutely the last Epson I will buy.
