  • Epson Stylus Photo 785 EPX “The Best All Round Ink Jet Photo Printer Available?”

    Apr 07 '02
    Pros: Price, great prints, PIM option
    Cons: Noisy, clogs easily, slow

    Summary: The Epson Stylus Photo 785EPX may be the best value photo inkjet printer around based on its hi-res six color printing (for showing fine gradations in color and contrast) reasonable price, useful features, and high-quality prints. Epson’s 785EPX is the ... read more

    Dec 21 '03
    Pros: Beautiful print jobs: especially photography and artwork
    Cons: Slow on high-resolution jobs, waste of expen$ive ink and/or paper, clogs easily

    Summary: I bought this printer almost 2 years ago...was excited to get rid of my old one as it was too slow. I am an artist and need to see my work accurately represented on paper. When this printer works, the results are amazing...the color is perfect and ... read more

  • Would not recommend this printer

    Dec 21 '03
    Pros: Big name product - Epson. Not too expensive initial cost.
    Cons: Expensive ink. Terrible quality prints and colors. Noise acceptable if print quality better.

    Summary: We bought this product for the Epson name and because the Epson rep was at the store where we were shopping and he sold us on this printer. I took a Photoshop class at the local community college and was trying to make some prints for class and ... read more

  • Not so Solid photo printer

    Jun 27 '03
    Pros: Great photo printing quality (when it is not clogged). Excellent price.
    Cons: Extremely small ink cartridges. Chronic nozzle clogs.

    Summary: Update 12/29/03. Well.... The magic is gone. We just went through about 5 ink cartridges attempting to clear a clogged nozzle. After doing some searching on the net, it appears that clogged nozzles are common with Epson printers. I even tried ... read more

  • Epson made a winner with the 785EPX

    May 31 '03
    Pros: Great photo prints, borderless pics, takes various cards
    Cons: Needs card adapters, printing borderless a bit confusing

    Summary: I got this printer as a Christmas gift and although I haven't used it much, I really do love it. Ink for inkjets is slightly expensive, so I try to use it sparingly. I just purchased a color and black cartridge from Staples and they cost approx. $45 ... read more

  • 785EPX: Worth a good look

    Mar 29 '03
    Pros: Great value for the money, great quality output
    Cons: Output tray is flimsy, does eat ink when doing high quality prints

    Summary: I purchased my 785EPX a few days ago, and I have tested it on many types of different shots that I have taken with my Sony DSC-P31 Camera (which has 2.1 Megapixels). I usually run the camera on its 640x480 mode so that I can have more pictures, but I ... read more

  • Buy a different printer

    Feb 15 '03
    Pros: Good quality print jobs.
    Cons: Eats ink, clogs constantly, paper feed jams, expensive, proprietary ink cartridges.

    Summary: On the plus side, the Epson 785EPX prints very good quality pictures, has a convenient card reader for digital photo memory cards. Unfortunately, the printer consumes massive amounts of ink, the cartridges are extremely expensive and the ... read more

  • Are we all reviewing the same printer?

    Jan 31 '03
    Pros: The photo print quality is very good.
    Cons: Everything else is very poor.

    Summary: I replaced an HP 722C with this printer as the HP utilities could not be used with Windows XP. I read the reviews, checked all the prices and ordered the Epson. I was concerned when I installed it and I realized how noisy and bouncy it was when it went ... read more

  • Big bang for the bucks!

    Jan 08 '03
    Pros: Excellent photo quality. PC slot for card adapter.
    Cons: None of the software for printing or editing was compatible with XP.

    Summary: I love this little printer. Sure it is a little noisy and bulky but for the price I am extremely satisfied. I printed Christmas cards this year and they were of equal or better quality than the photo shop here in town. I have found that the type of paper ... read more

  • Epson 785EPX photo NONprinter

    Dec 31 '02
    Pros: Nice index print ("contact sheet")
    Cons: Doesn't work (stand-alone) with 16MB SD card

    Summary: Against my advice, my dad purchased this printer and a Kodak CX4230 camera for my mom for Christmas. She doesn't have, nor does she want a computer - hence the decision on this stand-alone printer. It is supposed to be able to print photos directly ... read more

  • Great Value

    Pros: Excellent quality photos. Great value. Accepts Flash cards.
    Cons: A little noisy.

    Summary: The Epson Stylus Photo 785EPX was my first photo printer. I was really surprised to see how good the quality was for such a low priced printer. 10 times better than my epson that came with my computer. I print on Epson paper and set my photo software on ... read more

  • Awesome images - Fatal flaws

    Nov 03 '02
    Pros: Awesome photo quality on Epson papers
    Cons: Expensive ink cartridges Waste lots of ink clearing clogs

    Summary: I have a love-hate relationship with this printer. As a very serious amateur photographer, I love the quality of prints I can make with this printer and all of the different digital cameras I've used, including a Nikon D100. However, if you're ... read more

    Cons: Slooooooooow, HUGE, doesn't come w/required USB cable.
