Summary: Piece of junk
Comment: Do not buy this printer. Not only does it use ink fast and won't let you print if one is out, but the colors that are printed are never right. You will regret this purchase. I will never buy another Epson product again.

Summary: Fortune on Ink.. even if you only want to use black ink
Comment: This is a piece of junk. I mostly only use the black ink however, I am forced to replace all my colours when each of the other ones dry up which is every couple months. The software prevents the user from printing, even if the image is all black and you tell it to use black ink only. I end up paying 5 times the price for black ink. I will never buy an epson printer again.

Summary: Worst Printer I Ever Owned
Comment: My job requires me to do a lot of color printing. I have had a lot of different Inkjet printer through my carrier and I have to say the R300 is by far the worst. I have a R300 for my home printer which does not get used often. The print heads clog up and the paper handling is so bad that every other print miss feeds or jams. The printer will miss feed 90% of the time. You can not leave this printer unattended. You have to fiddle with the paper constantly. This printer is very frustrating; the beautiful prints it makes when it works right only make you mad because you know that it will take more fiddling and constant attention to get the next print.

Summary: Expensive - Worth It?
Comment: This printer produces wonderful photo prints and does a great job with printable CDs, too. Here are the negatives:
1. VERY expensive inks. As is the case with most inkjets, Epson expects to make its money with ink cartridge sales. I began using a local "refill" service to save some money and have not noticed any degredation in performance or quality. Well, at least not yet.
2. You do get warned about low ink long before the ink runs out. This results in ignoring the warnings, and that results in some bad printing...putting everything back right to where you started! The irony is irresistable.
3. Using the CD print tray is slow and awkward.
All that said, you won't be disappointed with this printer. Knock wood, I've had it for two years and it's running fine...

Summary: Horrible, just horrible
Comment: I use this junk printer at work to print out DVD labels and cases. Using printable DVDrs, this printer is great, the colors are pretty accurate to the original, and the DVDR looks professional. But, my DVD tray on the printer doesn't work well, so you have to push the DVD into the printer EVERY time you want to print. It gets annoying, but you had to do it manually anyways.
My main problem with this printer is the paper jams. I have to make a lot of CD cases (50+), so having this printer jam on every sheet of paper wastes a lot of my time and money. Instead of letting the printer print out all of my CD case labels overnight, I have to manually feed the paper into the printer, and even then that is a challenge! It takes 2-10 tries to get the paper into the printer, multiply that by 2 (I have to print the backside of the case too), and it leads to headaches.
Also, this printer consumes so much ink, it's not funny. I have twelve cartridges lying next to me after 5 months of working here, and I only printed around 100-120 CDs and CD case labels.
