Want to hear cleaned up rap? Get the Epson Stylus Color 850 Printer

by rdogg2k1 , Jun 04 '01
Pros: good quality, network support, paper extender (for 8½” by 14”)
Cons: expensive (printer and cartridge), cleans very often (making sounds)
In 1998, I realized I needed a new printer. The one that I had previously been using (a Canon LBP-430 from ’91) needed a new cartridge and they weren’t available anymore. The Canon printer cost $800 (it was one of the first printers) and cartridges...

I Replaced my Epson 850 with an HP

by aawehr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 05 '00
Pros: Great glossy pictures, letters, newsletters, etc.
Cons: A "Throw-away Printer! Noise, supply cost, EPSON Lack of 800 number
Does anyone want a slightly used Epson that prints every third page without a problem. Of course the other pages require the printer be turned off/on and we stop and listen to the printer clean/align itself. Some performance! The last tech that worked...

Good, But Noisy, Slow and Annoying

by pvl5 , Jan 07 '00

Quirky but solid

by egale , Apr 20 '00
Pros: Great Output
Cons: Long warm-up period
This was my printer for the last few years before I recently replaced it with the new Epson 1270. On the plus side, it was extremely reliable. It never broke down and the print heads never clogged. The quality of the output was excellent as well. Text...

by Techman , Jan 25 '00
Pros: GREAT PRINT QUALITY
Cons: Takes a while to get ready to print. 1-5 minutes!
I have a total of 7 of these printers in my school district in Grandview, Texas. I would have to say without a doubt, that this is the best quality printing InkJet printer I have ever seen. Yes, it has HP beat by a BIG mile and then some. This printer...

I'll stick to HP

by sharks5 , Feb 27 '00
Pros: Very good output quality
Cons: Noisy and difficult to use
I purchased the Epson 850 to print MS Office products, and occasionally scanned photographs. This was the first Epson printer I have purchased, and it will most likely be the last. There are two major faults with this printer. The first is the noisy...

High Quality, Good Speed

by lineman71 , Jan 25 '00
Pros: great quality
Cons: a little noisy
The Epson Stylus 850 is a great printer. One reason why it is so great is the quality of its prints. Its maximum resolution is 1440 DPI. When set to this the prints look like photos, especially when printed on photo paper. The quality of text is very...

Epson Goofed With This Model

by HopeJ , Jul 30 '01
Pros: Excellent color and graphics quality WHEN NEW.
Cons: Loud, slow at starting print jobs, not very durable.
I bought this printer right after it came out on the market, and sad to say it has pretty much made me wary of ever buying an Epson again. I was very impressed the first six months of purchasing this product; I could print incredible quality photos, the...

the best for graphics/photos!

by graeamos , Jul 05 '01
Pros: highest quality, easy to use, good design
Cons: expensive ink, cleaning noises, overloading
if you are a print-fanatic like me, and like to work with graphics or photography [from the digital camera, scanners, etc], this the the MUST-HAVE printer!

why? because for the price, it is the best value, the best performance with little to...

For the Money,This Printer is Tops in Quality

by fjw123 , Apr 22 '00
Pros: Fast, great print quality
Cons: warm-up time too long and noisy.
The Epson Stylus 850 is a good buy for someone that wants a detailed print
from a deskjet printer. Based on my upgrading from an HP Deskjet 550, this printer is superb.

Resolutions range from 1440 by 720 dpi rendering realistic...

Top quality printing, affordable, second to none!

by schultz3 , Apr 18 '00
Pros: Great quality, fast color and black printing, easy to install
Cons: Warm up time is 7 mins when turned on.
The Epson Stylus Color 850 is the envy of all other Ink Jet Printers on the market. What impressed me the most was how fast you could get your colored prints, as fast as 7 pages per minute, and black ink printing was even faster at 9 pages per minute....

Great quality and speed, but eats ink!

by Newskier , Apr 04 '00
Pros: Speed, Cost, Quality
Cons: Ink is expensive and goes fast
Well, there was no category for the Stylus 800, which is what I have. This is the closest I could find. Anyway, it's a great printer. Amazingly fast, awesome quality when you want to up the settings (although slows significantly)

Ink is...

Great Printer

by allegro_227 , May 21 '02
Pros: Good Product Quality, Many Good Options to let you pick exactly what you want.
Cons: You've got to wait a long time before it prints for the primming process.
This printer is a really good printer I use it alot.
It has a wide range of dpi from Economy witch is about 340 dpi to 1470dpi for you pictures.

But the consumables are really expensive and they don't last long.

Out of all the...
