Epson Stylus R800

Pros: Beautiful print quality, fast, accurate results, reliable. Economical supplies, compared to the nearest competitor.

Cons: Occasional, but not frequent, automatic cleaning required. Better, but costs more than photo lab.

The Bottom Line: After a year and a half, I wouldn't go with any other printer. Best output, not so costly on ink.

Review: I've owned this printer for 18 months now. I shop carefully for both paper and ink. Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper 4x6 can be found at 11.5 cents/sheet online (including shipping). Ink cartridges can be found for around $12 each. I use on average ...

Pros: Excellent Quality of photo on most types of media including CDs and DVD Printing.

Cons: High price and Average yield for consumable ink cartridges.

The Bottom Line: This printer is for the user where quality of text, photos, or graphics, are of primary concern. Photos reproduced on glossy photo paper rivals film photos. Best Buy Recommendation.

Review: I bought this printer primarily to print on Glossy Photo Print Paper. Also, I bought this printer to be able to print on printable CDs and DVDs. Because the use of labels on these mediums will ultimately render the CD or DVD unusable, due to labels ...

Pros: BEAUTIFUL results. Prints from all programs. Individual ink cartridges reduce wasteful spending.

Cons: Max size print is 8 1/2 x 11. Cartridges rather expensive.

The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this printer, not just to photographers, but also to advertising creatives searching for that one perfect printer that can handle all their specific needs. Stunning printouts!

Review: My needs for this printer were slightly different than pure photography printing. I wanted to print 8 1/2 x 11 advertising portfolio pieces, which means dealing with a lot of different programs and printing sharp type on beautiful images. This printer ...

Pros: Fabulous prints! Sharper, richer, and deeper than 35MM. Prints panoramas and directly on CDs.

Cons: Consuambles can be expensive, for lots of high-quality photos. VERY SLOW at highest quality.

The Bottom Line: This is best photo printer I've ever seen. I'm throwing away my developer and 35mm camera!

Review: I just got the new Epson R800 tonight. Eagerly awaiting its release, I've been reading reviews on digital photography sites about how great a photo printer this is supposed to be. So far, I haven't been disappointed! (The most thorough review (14 ...

Pros: Awesome prints, separate ink carts, speedy high-rez printing

Cons: Ink is pricey. ($13-$16 per cart, x 8 carts)

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this printer for the gorgeous prints!

Review: Our company bought this printer to give us control with our photo printing. I was happy with our old (processed film) photo lab, but with this printer I no longer use them. At all. If you start with a high-rez file, and set the printing preferences ...

Pros: Excellent output, good software, great features.

Cons: Software (print driver) has a slight learning curve.

The Bottom Line: The output from this printer speaks volumes. If you want long lasting and amazing prints, this printer is for you!

Review: This printer is simply AWESOME! While other reviews around the Web discuss the printer being slow while doing high DPI (best quality) the output is simply amazing and worth waiting a few seconds more for. The driver settings also allow you to change ...

Pros: Great color, ease of use, quick varying sizes

Cons: Ordering ink, ordering ink, ordering ink. cost of 8 individual cartridges (but uses it sparingly)

Review: The printer is excellent. It has great depth of color, especially when using the Epson paper and high quality settings. Their print program is easy to use, although not too unique. An adapter allows you to print CDs. I am very pleased, overall, with ...

Pros: Beautifully prints vivid color and detail for cards and photos. Easy to use.

Cons: Need special paper for these prints but prints B&W normal printing too.

Review: I purchased this printer on the advice of a person who made cards for us. He said Epson put out this wonderful and relatively inexpensive printer that would print cards just as well as the commercial ones at work. He was right! They look better than the ...

Pros: Great print quality

Cons: Expensive

Review: I've had this printer for 6 months now and its excellent. The prints are really detailed and even with the cheap inks the quality is still great. For anyone thinking of buy this, it is great for home and proffesional use. Dont buy the Espon inks as a new ...

Pros: Handles any and all mediums with 8 color printing

Cons: Goes through ink super fast!

The Bottom Line: This is a great all around printer with lots of features and abilities for the pro... not for the home.

Review: The Epson Stylus Photo R800 printer is a great all-around for the imaging professional... a money-waster for casual at-home user. The Epson is engineered for the professional or advanced user in every way. Just glancing through its specs will tell you ...
