Comment: I purchased the R320 to go along with my Nikon Coolpix 5600. My standard inkjet printer,(Lexmark X1185) does'nt cut it as a photo printer. I looked at Canon printers too, but after talking with a number of photographers, both amateur and professional, the Epson brand name just kept coming up in conversation. I like being able to just put the SD Card in the printer and using the on printer view screen and controls to print my photos. Obviously hooking it up to a computer, which I intend to do will give me more control over my images. I also prefer the Quality of Epson photo papers over the others I've tried.The R320 uses alot less ink than my standard printer also. It sure beats standing in my dark room for hours trying to get that perfect flesh tone and alot cheaper per print. Push a few buttons and you have a great looking print. I highly recommend the Epson R320.

Summary: Shock and Awe
Comment: I walked into the store and just basically looked at the printers and ended up buying the R320. Boy was I surprized for the price 179.99 less a $50 rebate at the quality that this printer puts out. FOr not doing research into printers (my old epson stopped working and needed a replacement asap) I got lucky. What a gem for a steal of a price. This is my 3rd Epson, and the best yet!

Summary: My opinion....
Comment: I did NOT like the quality of photos that were printed on this machine. I returned this item and bought an HP 7760 photosmart (which was cheaper). I printed the exact same picture on the HP that I had printed on the Epson R320. There was a HUGH difference!! The Epson picture was grainy with a reddish tint to the photo. The HP photo was perfect. I would suggest foregoing the "novelty" of printing a label on a disk in exchange for better quality photos....which is what a printer is for.

Summary: prints OK - but I took it back
Comment: I bought the EPSON R320 30 days ago for just under $200, it is now is selling for $20 less in the same store. I took it back because it is a stupid printer, the default settings baffle me, if you swap between 8x11.5 paper and 4x6 photos you never know how your printout is going look. The printer seemed to go into lala land while using it, had to shut it off and re-power on to get it going again (then I had to reset the settings for the type of print I was doing). The software supplied with the printer "FILM FACTORY" is worse then useless; it seems it was designed to use ink uselessly. I got better prints just using MSWORD or the Camedia program that came with my camera. The store (FRYS) took it back and I bought a bubble jet at same price, which so far is working fine.

Summary: Second Time around!
Comment: I purchased the R300 as a floor model at a discount. Got some great full sized borderless prints of my scanned paintings using Photoshop 6 on my MAC G4, system 9. When I connected the R300 to my MAC G5 I had to use the older USB 1 cable rather than the shorter USB 2 which I had just purchased for use with this printer, because the USB 2 was too short to reach G5 cpu. I got those terrible lines, must have cleaned the print heads 20 times, downloaded the newest drivers, no change. I turned the R300 in and got a new R320 and a USB 2 cable. No more streaks! If you buy this printer be sure to get the USB 2 (backwards compatible) cable.
I was also able to import my Illustrator (8) created logo and paste (special) it into the CD label software and print onto the CD. Really a great printer for an artist who has to run a business to promot my art!
