| sheedoe's Full Review: Epson Stylus Photo 875DC InkJet Printer |
This is my first photo printer and I've bought this after doing a lot of research. My biggest concern was how can a $150 printer print photos that are comparable to expensive Lab developed photos. I do not know how it is possible, but after I saw the pictures that came out of the Epson Stylus Photo 850DC, I was absolutely spellbounded! The clarity and feel of the photo's are exactly as the ones of Lab photos. All I can say is that you have to see it to believe it. From numerous reviews, I've learned that some people had trouble installing the software. Therefore, when I installed the sofware on my 500Mhz Celeron processor with windows 98, I followed step by step from the quick start guide that came with the printer. I did not face a glitch. Everything went very smooth. So I strongly recommend that you read the guide before installing the software even if you are an expert in computers. Ok here are few minor downsides of the printer: It only comes with compactflash card adapter, but my digital camera uses smartmedia. The roll photo paper tend to stay "rolled" after printing photos even if placed inside a book to flatten it. I recommend that you place the photo's in an album and keep it there. The color ink life is only 15 pages of 8x10 photo prints. However, the color ink cartridge is not that expensive (about $20). Hey, you have to loose something to get those dazzling pictures. And finally, the printer does not come with the A-B USB cable. So make sure you buy the cable (cost is about $5) when buying the printer otherwise all your exciting anticipation will diminish when you can't even use it.
