  • Epson Stylus Photo 820: Beautiful Photos At Your Fingertips

    Mar 22 '02
    Pros: Excellent quality borderless photos, affordable
    Cons: Ink cartridges are expensive and run out quickly

    Summary: You know, the problem with buying one new high tech gadget is that it inevitably leads to another. In November my husband and I bought ourselves a Canon Digital S110 camera to take on our family trip to Hawaii. We came home with lovely memories and ... read more

  • Consider others

    Oct 30 '05
    Pros: Honestly not very many, fair quality.
    Cons: Ink thirsty, only Epson paper, error prone.

    Summary: I wish I had read the reviews here first. Initially I thought this would be a good buy not only because of Epson's reputation but also because they seem to use inexpensive cartridges. Turns out those inexpensive cartridges are mighty small ... read more

  • Not the Greatest idea....

    Jul 28 '05
    Pros: Great Prints
    Cons: INK INK INK, Noisy, Slow

    Summary: Uses ink like no other. After going through two printers (both lexmark) I finally got a photo quality printer. I wished I knew how much ink it used before I had bought it. This is not the printer to buy if you print a lot of papers and not so many ... read more

  • Great $100 printer!

    Jul 25 '05
    Pros: Great little printer for the money!!
    Cons: noisy, ink usage

    Summary: This is my third Epson printer but my first photo. I'm used to the noise, cleaning printheads, speed, and various other Epson quirks. The Epson 820 photo makes fantastic prints from my digital camera and also off the photo CD that I get with my ... read more

  • you get what you pay for

    May 04 '05
    Pros: affordable
    Cons: inkjet cartridges clog easily

    Summary: I purchased this printer specifically to print digital pictures (I use a Panasonic KXP-6500 laser printer for text printing). Therefore I'll only comment on the photo printing. The good news is that the printer and maintenance costs are very low. I got ... read more

  • A Little Slice of Heaven

    Oct 22 '04
    Pros: Beautiful print-outs, close to laser-quality text with proper maintenance.
    Cons: Paper-handling--it has trouble with large volumes of sheets, and that can sometimes damage the printhead.

    Summary: I've had my share of Epson printers, and I prefer them for my main use: printing photos. When I saw the opportunity to grab one of these babies from Epson's web site for $50, I jumped at the chance. I actually didn't open up the box and use the ... read more

  • 820 - Junk!

    Jun 25 '04
    Pros: Cheap
    Cons: Noisy, ink heads clog excessively, paper feed unreliable

    Summary: I had two of these and regret ever having to use the units. Not only did the heads clog up excessively and waste ink ... I wasted expensive label and print paper. Both units are now in the trash. Was told later by a computer science grad that the whole ... read more

  • AMAZING photo quality, AVERAGE text quality, details...

    Nov 01 '03
    Pros: DEEP, BOLD, VIVID, DETAILED PHOTOS
    Cons: Text is not the highest level, though is satisfactory

    Summary: I'm a photographer, and I love good prints (like everyone), and this printer is unsurpassed in anything under $100, and better than an HP or Lexmark at photos at any price. Really. You just need to use high quality paper (I use Epson brand, which is no mo ... read more

  • ATTENTION!!! Stay away!

    Oct 31 '03
    Pros: Print quality - when it works.
    Cons: Clogs, smears, expensive ink wasted on cleaning.

    Summary: It clogs, it smears, it won't print well on generics and ink is really expensive. I am going through my second printer and going to RMA it soon. Stay away from those low-end models. I tried everything in the world to prevent it from clogging - did not ... read more

  • Epson - expensive to own

    Oct 15 '03
    Pros: Good quality
    Cons: Only works with Epson paper. Ink is very expensive and runs out quickly.

    Summary: I have an Epson Photo 820 and find that it is almost too expensive to even use. I only use it for a few photos now and then. I have a Samsung laser printer I use for most of my printing. The EPSON ink is very expensive as is the necessary Epson papers. ... read more

  • Another disappointment from Epson

    Sep 01 '03
    Pros: Inexpensive, 6-Color System
    Cons: High Ink Usage, Poor Mechanics, Poor Print Quality

    Summary: Let me preface this review by saying that I own one. I have owned two Epson printers in the past an ... read more

  • Sharp color photos and crisp text

    Aug 24 '03
    Pros: Very crisp color photos, clean text, very reliable unit at a low price
    Cons: Wish controls were in front

    Summary: This is a great printer for the price. It doesn't have all the fancies and best that it doesn't. Wha ... read more

  • Epson is GREAT

    Aug 17 '03
    Pros: Great picture photos
    Cons: A little noisy

    Summary: The Epson 820 printer was recommended to me by a dear friend. She kept telling me that I must have ... read more

  • Epson Stylus Photo 830 (or 820 in the US) - well worth the wait.

    Aug 07 '03
    Pros: Simply gorgeous borderless photos
    Cons: Expensive ink, slow, clogging may be a problem.

    Summary: Update Sept 1 2003 Having left the printer unused for about two weeks, I found some clogging ... read more

  • I finally threw it out!!!

    Jul 15 '03
    Pros: It makes a handy punching bag!
    Cons: Its too cumbersome to fit into my kitchen garbage can.

    Summary: Just trust me this is a terrible printer that prints beautifully once or twice then sucks your ink(a ... read more

  • unreliable printer

    Jul 07 '03
