Pros: Highly Detailed Prints
Cons: Cost

One of my best friends works for Epson and from time to time he hooks me up with ink cartridges for my Stylus 740 and other trinkets with the Epson logo firmly attached. When he suggested to me that I purchase the Epson Stylus Photo 2000P to get better...

Pros: Top Quality, Speed, Software
Cons: Doesn't come with a cable

I love my 1270. Buy one, buy one, buy one. This printer kicks some serious tail for printing photos. I've had a digital camera for a long time, but only now do my friends truly envy me, because I can print out an entire day's worth of photos, cropped and...

Pros: excellent photo quality
Cons: ink can be pricey

I must admit, I have never been a big fan of Epson printers - I always thought the HP's did a better job for the money. But after seeing this machine in action, I may have to change my opinion!

The 1270 is Epson's latest photo printer, which...

Pros: beautiful, fast, clear photo printing
Cons: cartridges can be hard to find

I have said it before and I'll say it again, I love Epson printers. The SP1270 is no exception. A couple of weeks ago, our well-used (read: abused) SC850 finally quit printing red. (It is still being utilized for b&w printing.) Since the printer was...

Pros: Faster, quieter, smaller drop-size, archival ink-sets
Cons: still print same size as the 1200, ink carts harder to find (for now)

The 1270 itself have some great improvements over its predecessor:

•Improvements such as smaller drop size (4 picoliter ink droplet compared to 6 picoliter) translating to smaller dots and smoother gradations

...

Pros: Highest quality prints you will find - better than your photo shop
Cons: Expensive initial investment

I waited a long time to buy this printer. It took a lot of personal justification to spend the money. In the end I got it refurbished directly from Epson's website.

The archival inks and the specialty papers add to the cost of printing with...

Pros: Ink costs, flawless printing
Cons: None to date

After getting deeply into digital photography, this printer was the logical next step. With superior images, and presumably long image life, the printer is, in a word EXCELLENT! Wide carriage means images up to 13" wide, and those images are...

Pros: Perfect photo prints; large-format paper capacity, up to 13x19 inches!
Cons: None

As many others have said, this printer produces astonishing photographs. I'm a photo hobbyist and the Epson Stylus Photo 1270 was my first computer printer; I never bothered with printers before and used photo labs instead, since despite the...

Pros: Great pic's, wide carriage for 11"x14"'s
Cons: Archival Ink problems. Hard to find replacement color cartridges.

The Epson 1270 appeared to offer it all: vivid, 1440dpi near-photo quality outputs, speedy printing, a wide carriage that can print 11"x14" enlargements, easy setup, etc...it even offered a manufacturer's claim of archival inks that wouldn't fade over...

Pros: Speed, quality and print longevity is fantastic
Cons: Can't print a 16x20 (hint to Epson)

I'm a professional photographer so image is everything to me but you don't have to be a pro to appreciate the high quality and affordable price of the Epson 1270 printer or its smaller sidekick the Epson 870.

After the film, there is digital...

Pros: Up to Large format paper, fade resistant dyes and papers, fast, quiet, 6 color printing
Cons: none found so far

Have you had it with ultra slow inkjet printers? Are you disappointed that pictures you printed out last month have faded? Do you wish you could make BIG printouts (13" x 44")? Epson has a winner with their new 1270 Color Inkjet Printer. This...

Pros: quiet, great speed, and great pictures.
Cons: ink cartridges kind of expensive

I have been a Epson printer user for many years. I started with the Epson 400 and graduated on up. I had been using the Epson 700 for my digital pictures and thought that they were great. But the Epson 1270 beats it in many aspects.
The printer...

Pros: bright colors, consistent color fields
Cons: some odd dithering on high resolution

For $500 this blows away the HP inkjet that we are replacing. On photo-glossy paper the colors really stand out. Even on plain paper with default settings photos look good and print pretty fast. At the highest resolution, though, it is as slow as any...

Pros: Photo quality prints that look like real photos!
Cons: Price! Way too much for just a printer.

Epson Stylus Photo 2000P does high quality color pictures with 6 colors.
Epson also brought entirely new pigment-inks to the market when 2000P was released,
with these inks and just the right paper, Epson promises printing results that lasts...

Pros: Great photo print quality, wide carriage for Super A3/B prints
Cons: Makes a mess of the ink platen, borders, no roll adapter

I've had this printer for around 6 months, and it's ALREADY been replaced by the Stylus Photo 1280, and rightly so.

What's included

The printer itself is rather sturdy, though I have to admit i'm not a fan of smoked...

Pros: Quality of prints are quite dramatic if used with the right papers. Sleek industrial design.
Cons: Expensive to maintain. Slow. Unavailability of inks.

The draw to this printer, of course, is the fact that it uses archival inks which Epson claims will last upward of 200 years in normal light conditions. While I don't believe that I will be around for even 100 years, I was drawn to the paper options and...

Pros: Everything
Cons: None.

This product deserves all the accolades it is receiving on epinions. So rather than rehash all the specs, I'll just write about my personal experience with this printer.

I bought the 1270 at Buy.com for $390 and it arrived in 24 hours. My...

Pros: Good prints and probably better archival
Cons: matte paper gets too wet

Last Friday I finally got one of the first Epson 1270 printers in San Jose available. It is only a very brief period and a few prints I could check on this product.

For my photographic reference have a look at my galleries at...

Pros: amazing picture quality at good value
Cons: not found any yet, for home use. Not quite good enough for production work - stick to dye sub for that

I have used a number of color printers over many years. These have included Epson Stylus Color 800, Canon BJC4200, all the way up to dye sublimation and thermal wax printsetters. The home printer I use for drafting (another Canon) finally gave up the...

Pros: Amazing Printing Quality and Design
Cons: Won't serve a cup of coffee (but it will print a great one!)

I know it's confusing, but pay close attention to the actual name of this printer. It's the Epson Stylus PHOTO 1270, not one of the Stylus COLOR models which compete with the HP line. There's a huge difference, and if you don't understand that...

Pros: design and picture quality
Cons: Price can be scary

This printer will simply blow you away. The design is twenty times better than the Epson Stylus Photo 2000. What a difference a "P" makes.

This is a revolutionary new printer produced by Epson. Yes another printer. This damn company makes way...

Pros: Awesome quality; quite fast; not so noisy
Cons: the cost ?

When I decide to buy a new printer –I do it a lot of times; I suggest people to buy- I m loosing my sleep. I need a good machine to carry out the job but not too mach expensive, very hi dpi’s output, photographic quality, to print on plain paper and...

Pros: Quality, speed, quiet
Cons: None

I've been wanting an A3 format printer since I got a Stylus 600 2 years ago, but the price has always held me back. Recently prices seem to have come down slightly, so I decided to have another look at what was available.
After looking at various...

Pros: Beautiful output
Cons: Very serious orange shift problem

***WARNING*** ***WARNING*** ***WARNING***
Before you read my original review, please read this first!. The 870/1270 printers were advertised to produce prints with 10 year archival properties. This is not the case especially with...

Pros: Quality of Prints!
Cons: Should only be used as a PHOTO PRINTER!

I purchased this printer with only one thing in mind. I wanted to stop using a developers lab to print my pictures. I no longer use a lab to print proof sheets, or any but the largest size prints. This printer does for me everything that I expect a...

Pros: speed quiet color
Cons: speed

I just recently purchased the 1270 for work needs. I supplemented the printer with an Axis 1440 print server to make the printer networkable. This printer is great. It is quiet, quick and rich with color. The software that comes with it is very easy to...

Pros: Quiet, Nice Output, High Ink Quality
Cons: Terribly slow text output.

I recommended this printer to the A/V lab teacher at my school. Since my school has been blindly faithful to the HP line, I had somewhat of an uphill battle. This printer, however, did not disappoint. As the owner of an Epson Stylus Color 600, it's...

Pros: fabulous prints
Cons: be careful to use suitable paper.

I bought this printer a few weeks back, and have been printing lovely photos ever since.

It really does perform as advertised. Some thoughts :

o make sure that you buy the correct paper. I was supplied paper which didn't work with...

Pros: Nice case
Cons: Price, speed, ease of use, print quality

We recently purchased the Epson Stylus 2000p for watercolor reproduction, choosing it over the competition on the claims of "Archival" quality inks that will last,with Epson Archival Media, up to 200 years. That sounds great, however, the...

Pros: Incredible imaging
Cons: none

As a professional 4 x 5 large format landscape photographer, I can highly recommend this printer. I scan images in the 20-30 meg size on a microtek 4 scanner and print them with the epson. It is, without overstating, an incredible printer. Simply...

Pros: Great details and amazing colours.
Cons: Pizza wheels.

This is my first Epson printer. Since I wanted a photo
printer I bought the 1270 based on good reviews the 1200
got I was wishing the 1270 will be better.
I was right for almost everything I wished for.
Prints look great on...

Pros: Quality output for a low price.
Cons: long term reliability unknown,

I purchased the 870 because I don't need the larger output. I'd been waiting for them to come along since mid 99 and they're finally here. I have gotten great results easily so far with this printer. What is especially nice is that for proofing a...

Pros: Quality of prints
Cons: none

If you want true photo-quality output this is the printer for you.
Using it with the new Epson heavyweight matte paper gives you a print life
of 20-25 years. The other Epson's & H.P printers start to fade after 2-3 years. The secret is the...

Pros: Excellent detail, superb resolution, prints suppose to last from 140-200 years, USB and parallel.
Cons: Pricey, metamerism too evident (shifts to green too much), painfully slow, consumes too much ink.

This very well could be a professional printer for professional photographers (that's what the "P" in 2000P suppose to mean), but it has three big flaws: One is that the final print looks very different under different types of light. The second one, is...

Pros: Wide Format
Cons: Color shifts in output in as little as 24 hours!

This is the printer I almost bought. I have an ALps 5000 (dye sub) printer which died after only 100 or so photos were printed out on it in about 14 months (thought the photos were great looking, best I ever saw). I will write a review on it later....

Pros: Fast Color printer Great Picture quality Both USB and IEEE Ports
Cons: Does not print to edge, Discontinued for the 1280

I was looking for a printer to start out my home graphic design business with and found this one on clearance. It gives me the opportunity to print on paper from 4x6 up to 13x49 banner paper. The picture quality is outstanding. I love the fact that it...

I've used this printer for a few months now. I use it for low volume quality printing of digital photography. I'm impressed with the quality of the printer and it's output. It is pretty slow for very high resolution images, but the results are worth it.
