Epson Stylus Photo 870 InkJet Printer

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: Stunning Photos, quiet operation
Cons: thirsty for ink (not worse than other inkjets)

I've been using the EPSON 870 now for a couple of months, and although I have never owned a photo printer before, this one certainly beats any out put I have seen from other printers anywhere near this price range.

I shoot a lot of landscape...

Pros: Gorgeous output, quiet, roll paper ability, tech support, fade-resist
Cons: Print head clogging, mediocre output on plain paper

I bought a Stylus Photo 870 when I realized my stylus color 800 just didn't cut it when printing photographic output. One look at the sample print at my local computer store and I was sold. The printer prints in six colors instead of the regular four...

Pros: prints photos, fast and good quality
Cons: print settings problems

This printer costs $199 but it delivers in terms of output and speed. It produces 1,440 by 720 dpi resolution images. It delivers bright and sharp quality images. The speed of this machine is quite good. However, when it prints in the photo mode it...

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: See description below
Cons: See description below

Date: Nov 1, 2000: I love this printer, but I've had serious problems with computer freezes (Mac G4) after I print, and then either connect or disconnect my analog modem using Apple Remote Access. Epson tech service confirms there is a problem with...

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: 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...

Pros: Nice printing ability, hardly any paper jams, easy to use/hook up to your computer
Cons: Small ink cartridges

I just recently purchased a Epson Stylus printer to replace my older Lexmark. I decided to get a new printer because the ink cartridges in my Lexmark were exspensive. I purchased this quite happy with the outcome. It wasn't too exspensive, and printed...

Pros: Awesome photo output
Cons: a bit slow for text but its not really meant for that. Costly ink cartridges

Works great under Windows ME. I use it for printing out photos from my digital camera. Use Epsons paper it's the best. Cartridges are a bit pricy but the black lasts a long time. The color you will go through quite a bit if you like doing 8x10 images. I...

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
