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

    Jun 04 '01
    Pros: good quality, network support, paper extender (for 8½” by 14”)
    Cons: expensive (printer and cartridge), cleans very often (making sounds)

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Great Printer

    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.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Learn to refill!

    Dec 07 '01
    Pros: Quality printing, decent speed, long-life/high output
    Cons: Cost of cartridges = sell your home.

    Summary: I've been using my Epson 850, as an upgrade from the 600, for over a year. I've printed thousands of sheets for my business, and it's still going strong. The key, I believe, is to learn to refill and reset your cartridges. Once the printer 'tells' ... read more

  • Epson Goofed With This Model

    Jul 30 '01
    Pros: Excellent color and graphics quality WHEN NEW.
    Cons: Loud, slow at starting print jobs, not very durable.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • the best for graphics/photos!

    Jul 05 '01
    Pros: highest quality, easy to use, good design
    Cons: expensive ink, cleaning noises, overloading

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Wouldn't purchase again...

    Mar 09 '01
    Pros: I can get generic cartridges very cheap. Decent quality picture printing.
    Cons: Seems to clean the heads before nearly every print job; dirty text printing.

    Summary: I bought this printer on the recommendation of a friend that owns a computer shop. It seemed OK at first but we really are not happy with it now. We sent the first one back because it seemed to take forever to print. The second one does the same thing ... read more

  • For the Money,This Printer is Tops in Quality

    Apr 22 '00
    Pros: Fast, great print quality
    Cons: warm-up time too long and noisy.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Quirky but solid

    Apr 20 '00
    Pros: Great Output
    Cons: Long warm-up period

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Top quality printing, affordable, second to none!

    Apr 18 '00
    Pros: Great quality, fast color and black printing, easy to install
    Cons: Warm up time is 7 mins when turned on.

    Summary: 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. ... read more

  • Great quality and speed, but eats ink!

    Apr 04 '00
    Pros: Speed, Cost, Quality
    Cons: Ink is expensive and goes fast

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Great Printer, It's a Must Have

    Mar 17 '00
    Pros: Fast and very good quality
    Cons: flimsy trays

    Summary: This printer has everything you can imagine. Not only can it print out at picture photo quality, but it prints it fast and with great quality. The printer is easy to setup, installs quickly and runs with out a hassle. The printer has run great since the ... read more

  • I'll stick to HP

    Feb 27 '00
    Pros: Very good output quality
    Cons: Noisy and difficult to use

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Quick, Smooth and Clear

    Jan 26 '00
    Pros: Fast Printing, inexpensive
    Cons: Not Photo Quality

    Summary: I purchased two of these printers for my work place. one was for me and the the other was for a coworker. (I found the best price at cozone.com and received the printers 2 days after I ordered them). At work we are connected to different ... read more

  • High Quality, Good Speed

    Jan 25 '00
    Pros: great quality
    Cons: a little noisy

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • In your dreams HP!!!! :)

    Jan 25 '00
    Pros: GREAT PRINT QUALITY
    Cons: Takes a while to get ready to print. 1-5 minutes!

    Summary: 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 ... read more
