Epson Stylus Photo 870 InkJet Printer

Pros: photo quality
Cons: price of glossy paper for it

My wife recently gave birth to our first child and I went to Walmart to get my 35mm films developed, but I was extremely disappointed with the photo quality which wasn't Walmart's fault but the camera's. So I said to myself...if you want something done...

Pros: Print Quality is great / Real easy to follow instructions!
Cons: None yet!

I had the Epson 640 which worked great!! I was just looking at some of the Epson new printers. After a lot off looking and a lot of salesman trying to push HP on my (I went through 2 HP's didn't care to try another!) I went with the Epson 870 The...

Pros: Excellent color reproduction. The ink stays brilliant. No fading.
Cons: Ink consumption is little too much.

I recently had an Epson Photo 750. I loved it. Everyone kept coming up to me so I could reprint their photos. I thought that I would never ever buy another printer. I was just that happy, until I saw a demo of an Epson Photo 870. The first thing...

Pros: HIGH quality output, whisper quiet, printout lifetime (with matte paper)
Cons: black and white text not as good, color shift problem (but only affects one type paper and some high ozone level areas)

So, I got the scanner I needed. Next, a color printer. As any Epinions.com member knows, research is your best weapon for a good purchase. Here are the reasons why I bought the Epson Stylus Photo 870 printer:

Many reviews (from...

Pros: Fast, quiet, and great quality
Cons: Can be expensive to run

My previous printer was about 3 years old and I won't mention which one because that would probably be unfair. It was noisy, painfully slow, the colour was cartoon not photo, the print quality was OK, and it needed cleaning nearly every week. When I...

Pros: Outstanding print quality, ink monitor, quiet, enclosures, price
Cons: No USB cable provided

The first thing I noticed about my newly purchased Epson 870 Stylus Photo Printer was how quiet it is. For a moment or two I had to actually look at it to see if it was operating properly, it is so quiet. My previous photo printer, the fine Epson...

Pros: Unbeatable prints
Cons: Costly inks

I've been researching photo printers for several months before I finally decided on the EPSON Photo Stylus 870, and I'm very happy with my decision. I've enlarged several of my photos at the kiosk at the local WalMart, and this printer far exceeds that...

Pros: Photo print quality, photo print longevity, design
Cons: No cable included - but printers never include them!

This is a great printer. I researched photo printers and found the specs for the 870 which was not available in the US as yet, so I waited for it --- and it was well worth the wait.

The photos are stunning - we've scanned photos as well as...

Pros: Amazing Printing Quality and Design
Cons: I work for HP (just joking)

I know it's confusing, but pay close attention to the actual name of this printer. It's the Epson Stylus PHOTO 870, not one of the Stylus COLOR models which compete with the HP line. There's a huge difference, and if you don't understand that difference,...

Pros: -True photo quality -Ink cartridges aren't too expensive
Cons: -Doesn't have large format capacity

I will start off saying I'm a college student and I'm cheap. I pay my tuition, so I don't have a lot of money to fool around with and I'm a conservative buyer.

I'm also a photo retoucher and graphic designer. That means I'm always coveting the...

Pros: Awesome, Frameable 8x10s
Cons: Can't do large poster-size prints

1. My wife wanted a photo printer.
2. I wanted to save money.
3. I read epinions' recommendations
4. I got the Epson 870 for under $200
5. Our pictures are now framed and hanging on our walls.

Do I need to say more?
...

Pros: Great photo print quality - Decent color graphics
Cons: Text quality & speed not good - Expensive electronic ink cartridges

I bought this printer to replace my ancient Stylus 600
which finally gave up the ghost after 6 years of heavy use.
My primary use for this printer is photos & in that area
this printer does very well... the results on 8.5 x 11 inch
...

Pros: Photo realistic prints, borderless printing, accepts roll paper
Cons: Have to use original inks from Epson

Epson has a long history of producing very high quality color inkjet printers. I think they have put all their past expertise to good use in coming up with the 870, 875 and 1270 range of photo-quality inkjet printers.

As an avid user of...

Pros: Great for photos, easy to use
Cons: Epson paper required for best results

This printer replaced an HP Deskjet 712C that I always hated; the Epson is a far better piece of hardware in every respect:

Installation: I followed the step-by-step instructions for setting up the printer and installing the software;...

Pros: Fast, Precise, High Quality
Cons: Ink is expensive

We bought our Epson 870 about 3 years after the purchase of our Stylus 500. Unlike the 500 we have not thus far had any problems with ink drying and damaging the ink heads if not used within so much time and the ink level sensors seem to work a little...
