Epson Stylus Photo 820 Inkjet Printer Reviews
Customer Rating:
Summary: good printer
Comment: poor seller packaging and came dirty, but workes, so I'm satisfied, could have been damaged because of lack of bubble wrap in shipping
Customer Rating:
Summary: avoid like the plague
Comment: I've not had a decent print from the printer, but at least it uses ink quickly, dries it out quickly, and requires a full color ink cartridge when you only want to print in black and white...nice design epson, guess I should have stuck with canon (like my camera).

Summary: Nice quality prints, BUT DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Comment: I'm going to be pretty brief on this one - I've owned this printer for good few years, and got plenty of good use out it - wow I'm being so fair to it it's not funny - I have finally reached the point where my patience with it clearly run out.
Why the headache? Simple - one word - inks. This stupid machine defines the word "unreliable" when it comes to inks, or more likely the print heads. It will GUARANTEED screw your print just when you need it most, cause you need to clean your heads, and once you start it literally takes AT LEAST 10 cleaning cycles to actually get anywhere near clean. Many times just the cleaning of it would kill the rest of the ink in the cartridge, so you waist more time and money.
I used to love Epson brand and how far they've come from the dot matrix days, but I think I'm permanently switching to Canon now. That's just sad.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A short-term solution.
Comment: I bought this model as a photo printer.
This printer worked great. That is,until it quit working altogether after 3 months.
I subsequently found co-workers that had the same experience with this particular printer.
This is a cheaply priced printer and I think the title of this review acuurately sums up this printer. Or,you get what you pay for.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Absolute trash.
Comment: This printer is a piece of garbage. If you don't print constantly from it, you will have to clean the heads every time you use it. 85% of the ink I have burned in this little nightmare has been from running cleanings on it. I am running to the office supply store pretty much every time I have to use it because it's out of ink, even though I'd barely used it since the last time I dropped a bunch of cash on a stupid ink cartidge. Junk. Also: the software for the printer won't let you run a head cleaning if there's no colored ink left, even if you've got enough black ink to print 200 pages. In that scenario, you have to go buy a colored ink cartridge just to make the stupid machine work to print black and white word documents. This thing sucks so much that it's making me irate just thinking about it.

Editorial Review for Epson Stylus Photo 820 Inkjet Printer:
Epson combines brilliant color with 2,880 x 720 dpi resolution in the Stylus Photo 820. Epson's PRINT Image Matching technology oversees six separate fast-drying color photo inks that are formed into superfine 4-picoliter droplets, resulting in bright, accurate, true-to-life color. The 820's prints are frequently indistinguishable from standard photographs, making this an ideal printer for professional applications as well as the home office.Print speed is a respectable 12 ppm for black-and-white prints, while a 4-by-6-inch photo takes roughly 48 seconds. The 820 supports a wide variety of media types, including standard letter-size paper; greeting cards; banners up to 44 inches; and 4-by-6-inch, 5-by-7-inch, and 8-by-10-inch borderless papers. The input tray holds 100 sheets or 10 envelopes, and the output tray holds 30 sheets.
The Software bundle includes Epson Software Film Factory with Print Image Matching support, Arcsoft PhotoImpression 3.0, and QBeo PhotoGenetics 2.0 TE. Installation and connectivity are easy, with both USB and parallel ports provided. Compatible with both Windows and Macintosh, the Photo 820 comes with a one-year warranty and is backed by the Epson Exchange program.
