Amazon.com Product Description: The Epson Stylus Photo 785EPX printer combines high-speed printing with brilliant color and an affordable price tag. It uses fast-drying color photo inks in six tanks, for convenient and economical replacement. A maximum 2,880 x 720 dpi printing resolution, superfine 4-picoliter ink droplets, and PRINT Image Matching technology all combine to produce bright, accurate, true-to-life color.

 Rating:  - Hunka JunkaWorked well for about a month, then barely ever printed a picture properly. I bought it so I could print pictures and ended up sending them to retail locations for printing. The printer is loud, the ink runs out quickly, the heads always need to be cleaned, and the colors print wrong and poorly. Totally dissapointed! I'd definitely buy a Canon next time. Rating: - Absolute Piece of JunkThe Epson 785 wastes gallons of ink when the ink cartridge nozzles dry out after a few days of disuse. Every cleaning cycle takes about 10% of the cartridge capacity and it winds up costing a lot to print very little. The photos do come out nicely though but it better when you go through a cartridge every ten sessions. Do not buy. Rating: - Paper feeder jamsI have had this for a few years and have found that it worked great the first year. However, as in the previous reviews, the paper feeder jams. I have also wasted a lot of paper and ink. I find that it doesn't seem to jam my cardstock as often as it jams the regular inkjet paper. I was convinced by the salesperson at CompUSA that this was the best printer to get. I initially paid about $200 for it and it has been a pain to deal with since. Also, the ink cartridges are about $40 total to replace ... Read More Rating: - GarbageThis printer ran well for the first year or so then went steadily down hill. I can't tell you how many reams of paper I've wasted because the feeder can never even up the pages properly. Rating:  - A real workhorse!I've owned this printer for 5 years now and am very happy with it. I am a graphic designer and very picky about print quality, and this one is very good. Even small type comes out excellently. Colors are beautiful, vibrant and true. I used this printer to print my 130 wedding invitations and programs, and it never once jammed or gave me trouble. The most it ever needed was a cleaning once in a while. As for photo quality, there are better printers on the market now, but for the time this was very ... Read More |
