Epson Stylus Photo R300 InkJet Printer

Pros: Despite its short shelf life, it does produce beautiful photos.
Cons: Short shelf life, Unhelpful technical support, Difficult and unreliable drivers, Lack of service centers

Printer drivers are always finicky (despite numerous updates). If the printer breaks (which mine did), Epson does not offer 1-800 numbers to call for support. You have to call on your own dime. Also, most states have only a few service centers. ...

Pros: If it prints, it looks great
Cons: You can't walk away from this printer or it will hang up.

I bought this printer for CDs and DVDs. This printer looks great IF you can get it to work. You can not walk away from it or it will hang up during print at any stage. I can't ever get it to work the first time I turn it on. It pulls in the print ...

Pros: Great print quality, easy to set up and put to use, vast capabilities
Cons: It can run through ink quite fast

Sometimes when it comes to printing in color, you want something better than a standard color printer, and you want something that can give you an image almost as good as a developed photo. When you are printing off images of cells and bacteria, such as ...

Pros: price, pretty good photo quality, separate cartridges.
Cons: inc price, photos dont always turn out as you wanted, photo screen inc bars

I find this printer ok because I live on an island in and there are no printing stores around. The six color printer seems to prove well enough for my point and shoot digital camera but some of the photos don’t come out how I want them to. Meaning ...

Pros: It prints on CD. Print photos without a computer.
Cons: Not photo quality, slow, costly.

I bought this printer as a replacement and upgrade to my Epson C82. I should of learned my lesson with the Epson 820 and Epson C82. I chose this printer so I could print on CDs and it offered photo quality prints and blazing fast prints. The only truth ...

Pros: price, separate inc cartridges, preatty good printing quality.
Cons: inc usage, pictures don't always come out as you want, printer screen inc bars.

I find this printer ok because I live on an island in and there are no printing stores around. The six color printer seems to prove well enough for my point and shoot digital camera but some of the photos don’t come out how I want them to. Meaning grainy ...

Pros: Quiet, professional output, ease of use great savings consumables $, sturdy, features. Itsa Winner
Cons: Not all models have viewer U need to specify,I didn't buy sooner!

THE BEST printer for color photo and plain paper output! My family has a printing business, so naturally all the kids were taught the business. A finicky eye for detail, crisp color, hue, brightness, clarity, etc. My father esp is picky, and bought a ...

Pros: Front & back USB ports, great photo quality, memory card slot
Cons: Software has poor red-eye reduction

I've always been a digital-photography fan. I bought a digital camera in 1999, and printed photos with an ancient HP722. A few months before my daughter was born, my aged Olympus C-2000Z finally gave up the ghost. I decided it was not only ...

Pros: Picture quality fantastic, easy to use, great support.
Cons: Set up, Epson only paper?, keep it clean, timely cartridge set up

I bought this printer in Costco 9whole sale club), just in case I wasn't happy. The Epson unit is by far faster than the HP 900 series I replaced, and the detail is crisper. When you print with it, most people don't know you printed at home. When I ...

Pros: Creates great looking prints. Individual inks save money.
Cons: Sometimes there is minor smearing if you do a lot of printing all at once.

This is a great printer for the price. I am a part-time freelance photographer and with a Minolta negative/slide scanner and a little work in Photoshop I can get 4x6 and up to 8x10 prints to come out better than any photo lab. The colors are vibrant ...

Pros: An excellent printer for photographs 8 1/2 X 44 inches and smaller.
Cons: I have no negative comments about this printer

This one is the little brother to my big Epson 2200. In fact, when I purchased it, I hadn't even ordered my computer system yet. When it comes down to print quality, this little printer can really do the job. It goes to 5760 X 1440 dpi on the resolution ...

Pros: Affordable CD printing, good detail
Cons: Boosts Magenta (Red), ink price

Update: I returned this printer and got the R200 for the CD printing capability and will continue to use my Canon i950 for photo prints. I bought this printer with the intention of making it my primary color printer and then using my Canon i950 ...

Pros: Cost, quality, ease of use
Cons: Large foot print

I purchased the Epson R300 10 weeks ago after reviewing every photo printer on the market priced between $100 to $500. I settled on the Epson for not only price but exceptional quality. As of now, I have printed probably 15+ photographs from 4" x 6" ...

Pros: The quality of the printing on discs is superb. Photos and text also.
Cons: Occasionally spoils a disc. Transport mechanism for discs does not always work well.

I bought an R300 in December, 2003, specifically to print on CDs and DVDs. That's the only use to which I've put it, other than to check that it prints photos and text OK. (It does.) I've printed on about 200 Toyo Yuden CDs and Verbatim DVDs. I had to ...

Pros: Solid feel to body, excellent quality consumables, realistic color, smudge-free ink, great price.
Cons: Good results with third party vendors require alot of tweaking in advanced settings.

I have had the R300 for a few weeks now. I am very impressed. I won’t bother rattling off all the data you can locate on Epson’s website or info culled in the many reviews on computer mags, I’ll just tell you what I’ve encountered so far. First off, ...
