Summary: Worse Printer Ever
Comment: I bought this printer when it was new so I paid full list for it.
After having it for 2 years.. I have manged to get less that twenty images printed on it.
Paper loading is imposable, when you do get it to print it
eats ink like crazy.
It always seems to need "cleaning" i.e. I want you push a button that empties your print cartridges at a frightening rate.
My total cost of ownership for this pile of poo with the purchase price,
ink replacements and printer repairs has been over $900.00.
For that I've only been able to print 15 images.
I just a few moments ago disconnected this thing from my computer
and later today I'm going to beat it into a flat pile of plastic and metal, look for the vid on youtube. Don't buy this printer you'll be sorry. I'll never buy an epson printer again.

Summary: Great at first, but...
Comment: I have had this printer for a couple of years. For a while it produced nice prints, although it did have some trouble feeding paper. However the print heads are now clogged and won't print properly even after loading brand new ink cartridges and running multiple cleaning cycles. All printouts have streaks and gaps and I have to print three or four pages just to get one good copy. And get this - every time you run a cleaning cycle on this printer it uses up about 10% of the ink in EVERY cartridge. It costs about $100 to replace all the cartridges, so every time you do a cleaning cycle it costs you $10! Maybe you will have better luck than I did, but I do not recommend this printer.

Summary: Very Dark Prints
Comment: Bought this printer hoping it would give clear wonderful pictures. WRONG! What a dissappointment! The pictures come out dark! Had to get Adobe 7.0 to print pictures, still dark, went on Epson web site and downloaded the improved program because of dark pictures, Still DARK. I have to lighten all my pictures by 45% just to get a decent picture. NEVER AGAIN! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRINTER!

Summary: DO NOT BUY
Comment: I purchased an Epson Stylus R800 photo printer approximately two years ago. It was shortly after the warranty expired that it quit working (would not turn on). I took it to a local repair shop and was told it would be more expensive to repair than to buy a new one. I did in fact buy a new one a year ago (11/09/2006), it too quit working (same problem..would not power up) but was still under warranty (barely). I was advised by Epson Support to take it to a repair shop in Salt Lake City Utah. I did take it to the AUTHORIZED repair shop and according to them, they replaced something in the control panel. That repair is barely two months old and my printer has failed once again to power up. Does Epson have that poor of a product that one fails three times in two years, and once almost immediately following a repair by an authorized facility? I recently bought a photo printer and went with an HP model because of the problems I had with my Epson printer...It's junk and I can not rely on it.

Printer SN: FMJEO28173
