My son was born 15 years ago. As with any child ever born, I had no choice of features from which to select, no indication of future performance and no manufacturer's warranty. I had to be prepared to accept and cherish whatever it was that would develop...
Pros: Cheap, good printing Cons: Slow, EXPENSIVE ink
This little printer was a major step up from my very old Panasonic KXP-1124 dot matrix printer that I had since 1990. So I was naturally excited to finally be able to print color photos. But I really wondered if they would come out very good,...
Pros: Great quality printing Cons: A bit slow, uses ink rather quickly.
This printer was purchased for me by my father back in April, when we bought a Gateway PC (Personal Computer). Right now I don't remember how much it was, but it was either $99 or $150.
Pros: Mac & Windows Compatibility Cons: Ink doesn't last long
I bought this printer only because I needed something to hook up to my new iMac which was required by my new job. I also wanted something that was Windows compatible to hook up to my main computer. A friend of mine recommended the Epson Stylus...
Pros: Fast, no jamming, inexpensive ink, inexpensive PRINTER for that matter Cons: Sucks your ink cartridges dry
MY STORY
This story comes from a long time ago, but you’ll make do, I’m sure. It was way back when in about 2000 when my HP DeskJet 612C died. After spending $30 calling HP, waiting on hold, I found it’d be about $50 for them to...
Pros: Color print quality,price,ease of use Cons: Connection cable must be bought seperate
Well, the old man sold the Harley and sent me off to the computer store to buy myself a new printer. Well, I was VERY excited about this shopping trip since I have been stuck with an ancient black and white line printer for as long as I can remember....
The Story
I bought my 740 in 1999 and loved it. The printer installed well, and prints well. This year I bought my digital camera and made a lot of impressive prints with the 740 to show off to my colleagues and neighbors. I even bought...
Pros: Outstanding customer service Cons: Envelope problems, thirsty for ink
Inkjets aren’t sexy. Buying one is about as personally fulfilling as paying the monthly gas, water & electric bills. Worse, the price has dropped so low on these puppies that they’re in danger of being viewed as commodity items like soap or...
Pros: Great print quality and speed. Handles stacks of ANY size card or envelope. Cons: Head cleaning is loud and slow, USB operation can be unreliable.
I bought the Epson 740 to solve a particular problem: I was asked to print several hundred invitations on the back of 4" x 6" pre-printed postcards. The postcards would look best if printed in color.

What good is a printer the won't print? The answer is: No good.
I bought this printer and took advantage of the mail-in rebate thinking I had gotten a good deal (around $120). But if I had known then that the printer would fail so completely I would...
Pros: great quality, low, low, low initial price. Cons: drinks ink like a fish.
Before I begin, I probably should say that before this, I've always had HP pinters. The last one, an old model that they don't even make anymore, was ungodly expensive for the time, and had madium-to-high dot pitch, which was just fine with me. My...
Pros: Super output quality, simple installation at a remarkable price Cons: Think ink
"Stuff's gettin' better," according to the fictitious president in the movie "The Postman". So, too, is the quality of cheap, utility ink jets. "Postman" Kevin Costner had to make up stories to rally his folks. The output of...
Pros: Nice printing, even on index cards and envelopes, Good price! Cons: I had problems with the drivers, but updates fixed it up quick.
I am amazed with this printer... it does everything I want it to do. I have made it print envelopes and index cards, letters and once cardboard, and it doesn't seem to falter.
I first had to get a few driver updates because of image printing...
Pros: Low price, great output quality on coated paper, USB connectivity. Cons: So-so plain paper text, ink tanks run out somewhat fast, clogged nozzles.
I needed to replace my old Lexmark ink jet in a hurry for a school project. The Stylus 740 supposedly had great photo quality on coated paper for a good price. If I had time I would've waited a few weeks for the Stylus 777, but the 740 was it at the...
Pros: Great color, great quality, great service Cons: Loading paper a hassle
Finally, after three years of relentless work, my Epson Stylus Color II broke down. The cable snapped, and could not be replaced by the experts at CompUSA. We then decided to research a new printer, that was better than the Color II.
Pros: Cheap, good quality prints Cons: Problematic, long warm up times, ink guzzler, paper jammer
I'm not a heavy printer user, whenever I've needed to print something I used the machine at work. However since going back to University I've found the need to get essays printed out at home rather than on the office machine (don't worry it's my office...
Pros: Beautiful print quality at first Cons: If heads go, printer goes. No "new head every cartridge" like with HP or Lexmark.
I ended up picking up a Hewlett-Packard 935C after one awful year with this printer.
You see, purchasing this Epson printer is like diving into a bad marriage. Let me 'splain, Lucy: oh my goodness, she's just beautiful (puts out gorgeous...
Pros: Just about everything! Cons: No cable included
For $150, I wouldn't give this printer five stars. But the fact is, this printer can be had for about $95 or so shipped if you use shopper.com and sniff out the savings. I also believe there is a $50 or $30 rebate out there on it, though that may have...
I've had this Epson Stylus Color 740 for about four hours now. I've tested printing on several items, and the color is beautiful. The printer works fine. The colors are rich, the text is quite sharp (although I'd not classify it as "laser...
I have had my Epson stylus around 2 months and so far this is great,It was easy to set up and the cartridges were simple to put in. The soft ware that came with it was a breeze to download it probably took a whole 5 min if that long to get it up and...
Pros: Great quality. Inexpensive Cons: Can be an ink hog at times
Throughout my life I've used primarily Hewlett Packard printers and it seems that I've constantly been disappointed in them. So, after doing some researching I decided to pick up the Epson Stylus 740 for a good, inexpensive printer for college.
Pros: Easy to use, inexpensive, excellent color quality, compares favorably to an Alps photo printer Cons: None
I own an Epson Stylus Printer 600 and recently purchased an Epson Stylus Color 740 for my husband to go along with his new digital camera. We have used Epson products for many years now. We also have an Epson laser printer that is approximately 10...
Pros: Inexpensive, good print quality Cons: Goes through ink like a hot knife through butter.
I recently inherited an Epson Stylus Color printer that was broken. I figured I'd call Epson's technical support line to find out if this cast-away was going to be of any more use than as a large plastic paperweight. To my surprise, Epson told me that...
Pros: cheap, clear printing and good software Cons: ink will get expensive, slow, inkjet text can smear.
After my HP deskjet broke (a little piece of plastic which would take 2 seconds to fix; but everyone insists on charging $50 minimum to do so), I went out and bought the cheapest color deskjet I could find. Having bought several other printers; and not...
Pros: USB connection, low price consumables, excellent all around mid-range printer Cons: Slow photo printing at high-quality resolutions
Excellent choice for fast printing of long documents and reports. If you've got the need and time for photo printing, this is one hot number. Honestly, you could fare well without glossy paper (a small sampler kit is included with various media to test...
Pros: Great quality professional looking printing Cons: none
I have to admit computers is something I am no expert in but I manage to do very well for myself. Now my hubby doesn't know a thing in fact I still have to turn it on for him, so when I received a printer from him for Christmas I was surprised to say...
Pros: Cheap for the quality Cons: cant really grumble at much at all
The Epson Stylus Color 740 was the not the most expensive printer on the market nor was it the most expensive Epson printer on the market but it caught my eye because of its reletively low cost in comparison to some of the other brands in the same...

I hate this printer. I don't think I've ever been so frustrated with a machine in my entire life. But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Allow me to explain...
I bought this printer at the beginning of my freshman fall. The techs in the...
Pros: USB, amazing quality for its low cost Cons: plain paper output not as sharp, slow in high quality modes
Isn't it funny how one purchase always seems to beg for another? In this case, I blame the digital camera I received as a Christmas gift (an Olympus D-450 Zoom), for leading me to my printer purchase. Although I knew that what I really wanted for...
Pros: Low price. Solid product. Cons: Sensitive to paper used, large footprint
The key point - and I'll state it here first - Epson printers have great quality if you use high quality paper, and arguably they produce the best color images of any brand on high quality paper. HP printers (the newer ones) are not as sensitive to the...
Pros: For the price, it is a great printer Cons: Not extremely fast
***Right now, Egghead.com is selling this printer for $167 with free shipping and Espon is offering a $50.00 mail-in rebate. For $117 you can't get a better printer!***
I chose this printer for a several of reasons (besides the price). First...
Pros: Great Home Printer, Image Quality on Glossy is Great!, Ease of Setup, Ink Cartridge Install is soo easy! Cons: None so far!

I purchased the Stylus 740 for use with my new G4 in December 1999. I needed something to replace my aging HP Deskwriter C since it lacked USB interface. At the time, the Stylus 740 had already been out for about a year, but it was the cheapest printer...
I bought the Epson 740 because I've had good experiences with Epson printers before, and because, way back when I bought it, there weren't that many choices in printers for the USB-only iMac. I've been fairly satisfied with it, but I feel there are some...
Pros: Photo quality color and laser sharp text. Quick and easy setup. Cons: Uses more ink than most other printers.

Pros: Very high print quality, easy setup with Macintosh Cons: Couldn't get printer to work with Windows 98 computer
The Epson Stylus color 740i is an awesome printer. It has the capability of producing 1440x720 dots per inch, and gives near photographic output when using ink jet photo quality paper. The 740i was a breeze to hook up to a new iMac computer. The whole...
Pros: I can't think of any! Cons: Ink runs out quickly, low print quality, over-priced

Pros: Speed and Print Quality Cons: Bulky out put tray

Pros: good price Cons: ink cartridges don't last long
I have now had the Epson Stylus Color 740 for nearly two years now and it is going strong. At the time, we paid $222.00 for it but I now see it for $99.00 in catalogs. I have used it for my desktop Mac using the serial port, for an Apple iBook through...
Pros: Great quality, robust, reliable Cons: Slow, bit of an ink monster!
If anyone had told me 3 years ago that the one component that would give me the LEAST hassle would be my Epson Stylus Colour 740, I would have laughed. A lot.
My track record with printers is somewhat disasterous. After mangling an old Star...
Pros: Fast print speeds, average cost of consumables, and USB support Cons: Sub-par plain paper printing, bleeding text

Pros: good print quality, easy setup, USB/Parallel support Cons: slow high-res prints, expensive cartridges
This is my first printer at home. I had used HPs and Canons at my office and was not impressed much with their color print quality. Even using special paper did not improve the quality much. Considering that this was my first experience with Epson, I was...
Pros: High photo color quality at a great price! Cons: ink cartridges are costly from Epson!
The Epson Stylus Color 740 inkjet printer isn't advertised as a "photo printer" but it does an outstanding job at a good price! I scan 35mm slides via the Nikon Coolscan III filmscanner and print them on my Epson 740. When I use heavy quality...
Pros: Print quality, reliability, included software Cons: Cartridge cost

Pros: Fast, Impecable Quality Cons: Wakes the neighbors when you turn it on

Pros: Smallest Dot, superb color picture quality on Plain Paper Cons: Slow, Loud, not that much better in quality that other similarly priced printers
Reviewed by Dean Baluch
This printer is loud, slow, and for black text, has poor quality. The only reason I bought this printer is because it was the only printer with USB available for my iMac.
Pros: average speed lower price Cons: not very stylish to loud
With the purchase of a new blueberry Imac I had to call out my interior decorator and she said get that one. So the Sears rep pulled the matching 740i printer

Pros: Fast , cheap, easy to use, Exceptional color quality Cons: likes to jam paper sometimes, but rare
I have had my share of printers in my lifetime, but I can't say that I have had such a good combination of color quality, and speed in such a well priced printer. I had an Hewlett Packard for a while, and then I realized that the color output of this...
Pros: Good accuracy, good quality, cheap Cons: Slow and Noisy on start up
The good: really high quality, good output, and it is all compatable. The Bad: kinda slow, and especially a noisy start up.

Pros: Great-quality prints Cons: a bit slow on the get-up-and-go
I bought the Epson Stylus Color 740i to complement my iMac (even bought the same grape cover for it) and for my purposes, have found this printer to be excellent. While it does not excel in any one specific area, it does a great job of all-around...
Pros: Nice quality, Low Cost Cons: Incompatible with Windows 98! Poor service
The Epson 740 is incompatible with Windows 98! The USB falls asleep and will not walk up! I spent approximately 5 hours on the phone (my dollars no 800#) re-installing the software over and over with their "tech" support people. They finally...
Pros: Good fast quality. Cons: Loud when in fast print.
I got this printer for christmas, so I did not have a choice of what I wanted. I got it with a digital camera and that is the reason for buying a new printer to replace my Hp Deskjet 500C. I took the printer out of the box and I had set it up in no...

Pros: I enjoy printing out copies using this printer! Cons: None.
I bought this printer after I bought my computer and the monitor that goes with it. I bought my printer at Office Depot up the street from where I live and I got a real good deal. I paid $161, but I got a $50 rebate and so, actually, I paid $111....

Pros: speed when frequently used. Cons: questionable reliability, short ink cartridge life span

Pros: Very high quality prints or fairly quick prints at lower resolutions Cons: Goes through noisy warm up and pre-printing routine
I have no complaints about this printer when you consider it's only $100. The Epson ink cartridges are expensive, but there are 3rd party ink suppliers that cut that price down to as much as 1/5th that price. Photo paper can also be quite expensive, but...

Pros: Dependable hardware, excellent print quality Cons: Buggy driver software in some configurations; pricey consumables

The Epson Stylus Color 740 is a very inexpensive printer. I was able to find one at Circuit City for $149, and then there was a $50 rebate. The rebate check came very quickly, as well.
Not only is it cheap, it does an excellent job at...
Pros: Good quality text and graphics, reasonably fast Cons: Color printing can be slow at higher resolutions
The Epson color ink jet printers have always been highly rated and the 740 shows why. The print quality is outstanding for an ink jet, especially for the price. Printing text is almost laser quality, at least to my eye.
One can hardly beat the Stylus Color 740! I personally love mine. For the average home user the features you get for the price are pretty good. And the best feature of all....I recently upgraded from an older Power Macintosh to an iMac and was very...
When I started hunting for a new printer I set a $200 budget. I looked at Cannon, HP and other Epson models but in the end purchased the Epson 740 because, at $150, it was under my budget and I was impressed by the test pages I saw.

This is a good printer. It prints high-quality photorealistic images, and prints black and white text nice and fast. The USB port is also a great advantage, setting up the printer took all of five seconds. The price (I got it on sale for $74.95) is...
I picked up a 740i to go with my iBook, and it's great. I was especially impressed with how great digital photos look when printed on photo-quality glossy paper -- to the point where I may give in and buy a digital camera. For iMac/iBook owners, the...
Pros: price, ease of operation, resolution Cons: larger footprint than some printers

Pros: value Cons: no WinME drivers, problems in photoshop colors
I have yet to get a driver that works properly under Windows ME. For the time being, I had to connect this to my Windows 98se machine to be able to print anything. I'll probably just have to check back on Epson's site for a driver update.
Pros: great value, decent quality Cons: will bleed on good stationary, can be slow, software only ok

Pros: USB, Picture Quality, ease of use, Software Bundle Cons: Annoying Paper Tray
I have been using Epson printers ever since they came out with the Stylus Color IIs, and have been impressed with their products ever since. That is why I decided to make technology jump to USB with the Stylus 740. Not only does it create crisp, sharp...
Pros: Amazing Price, Great Quality, Total Connectivity Cons: No USB cable included
This printer is amazing, kudos to Epson. The 740's major advantage is it's connectivity. Not many inkjet printers have parallel, serial, and USB ports. This enables the printer to be connected to the most modern Macs and PC's as well as legacy machines...
My dad got this printer at Price Club for about $120. It rocks. While the ink does cost a pretty penny, it produces results that completely blows away any laser printer. Full color print papers take a minute or two, and the results are photographic....

The Stylus 740 printer by Epson is the perfect companion to a digital imaging device like scanner or camera. The quality of the photo prints (1420x720) is GREAT on photo paper. Being a casual photographer, the 740 has been able to produce images that...
Pros: Great photo printing, great price. Cons: ink consumption.
I've owned this printer for about a year now, and I think it's awesome. For under $150, you get fantastic photo printing. You can crank up the quality all the way to 1440 dpi. My friends and family are always amazed at the photos I print from my...
Pros: The printouts are great! The quality is very good and the price is very affordable. Cons: I do not like the single tank for my color ink. I like the individual colors like the Cannon has.The ink last longer when you have individual colors to replace and not a single tank like the Epson has.
I have an Epson 740. This is the second Epson that I own, I also have an Epson 500.
The printer takes a beating and keeps on printing. I do not have much trouble with my printer, it is used all the time and for everything. You can be surprised what...

Less than a year ago, I was in the market for a color printer. After hours of research, I settled on the Epson Stylus Color 740, mainly, because it showed such a high rating in a consumer magazine. They stated that its reproduction of color photos was...
I purchased the Epson Stylus 740 over a year ago. What a printer it has been. I am in Real Estate and constantly printing out flyers and Digital Pictures.The print quality truly is excellent. Especially when combined with the Epson Photo Quality Paper....
Pros: good all purpose printer Cons: Detection problems with colors and paper
Everyone I know told me I had to get an Epson constantly. So when my Hewlett Packard Broke, I went to Comp USA and bought myself an EPSON Stylus 740. This thing is great. It prints relatively fast. It is easy to install and reinstall new colors. The...
We got our Epson 740 last year. It had trouble since 2 months after we got it. I called the company several times, because they have a replacement garauntee, but they never offered to replace it. They implied it was operator error.
Pros: ink level indicators when printing Cons: died prematurely, slow to get started
At first, I was so pleased to get a new Epson 740 to use in our office at school. But, within four months, it died -- kerplunk -- it just wouldn't feed paper. I don't know what went wrong, and in all fairness, it may have been fine after a repair. But,...
Pros: Easy set-up, ease of use, excellent print quality, ease of maintenance Cons: cost of cartridges
I just purchased my second Epson Stylus 740 Inkjet printer. I was so pleased with the one I had at work I bought one for my family that includes 2 college-aged kids.
Quite simply this printer is well-designed affording ease of set-up including...
Pros: Great value compared to an HP Ink-Jet P2200. Cons: Ink cartridges are expensive.
Whoa, Nellie! This printer first came out in '00, and since then there have been lots of 'power sales' by retailers trying to close them out. Let me tell you, my daughter has the HP P2200, and there is NO COMPARISON.
I was able to snag this...
Pros: Great print quality. Easy to use. Cons: USB issues when used with ME.
Okay, probably just like most everyone else, I love my Epson printer most of the time. The only time I dislike it is whenever I have to buy more ink for it. The ink is expensive and the cartridges do not last very long.
Pros: Great print quality. Cons: Stupid design wastes ink. Ink cartridges are expensive.
This printer, like all Epson printers I've seen, produces good results when it's working right. If a person used this printer every day or at least once a week they would probably never run into problems aside from the exorbitant price of replacement ...
Pros: Great photo reproduction on photo paper, quick, cartridges easy to refill. Cons: cartridges sometimes clog, doesn't stop for paper jams.
I use this printer because we do our own photo reproduction. I bought it about 4 years ago and it has been going ever since. Works great combined with my digital camera Kodak DC3400 and my scanner Acer 320U. I have started refilling cartridges and...
Pros: Good for a short while. Cons: Went crazy WAY too soon. All messed up.
I bought this printer in the fall of 1999. The printer was working fine for a while, the color cartriges are expensive, but I figure that most printers’ are so that wasn’t a huge problem. I broke the paper tray because I fell on it pretty early on,...
Pros: Quick, crisp copies Cons: None that i can think of
I bought my Epson 740 Printer from Buy.com A few months ago and i love it. I paid $69.00 for it after rebate and it works like a charm. I have it hooked up to an ibook. Both the color copies and the black and white copies are very crisp, much better than...
Pros: Excellent color. Great price. Cons: Lacking in reliability. Slow.
I rate this printer as merely OK. It does everything right, such as print high resolution photos and decent text. Colors are vibrant on inkjet paper, but merely OK on plain paper.
However be warned that the printer will occasionally print out...
Pros: Excellent print quality, Ease of use, Price is affordable Cons: Ink cartridges empty fairly fast
I am really happy with this as my last 3 printers were made by HP.. Compared to them this is the better deal. I used this for printing out my Wedding invitations and was impressed. Picture quality printing comapared to others I have used.
I have had my epson stylus color 740 printer for less than a year. The paper feeds in crooked and when the paper feeds in straight, it gets jammed in the inside. I am so disgusted with this printed I have smoke coming out of ears! I only use the...
Pros: Great Product, Support Cons: Slow to start, uses much ink
I don't own a 740, my 700 is working just fine. Even though I am an authorized Epson repair technician, I don't work for them and I have no financial interest in them. That said, let me say that I have serviced many brands of printers, IBM, Lexmark,...
Pros: High quality printing, multi-platform, reasonable image quality, good value Cons: Expensive ink, eats ink up quickly too
A good tradeoff between speed, color imaging and price for a printer that will work on both a Mac and a Windows box. You can get printers that print better images, faster ones, and ones that use less ink, but if you want all the above the SC740 is a good...
I was a big fan of epsons when i used their 24 pin tractor prints when computers were referred to in terms of 8088 and 286 or 386. When I went shopping for a USB printer I liked the idea that epson was on the frontline with a color inkjet. More...
Pros: Good for text Cons: Not for t-shirts of colors
I bought a Micron computer Package and chose the Epson 740 15 months ago. To date I have had it replaced twice, and still have problems with printing t-shirt transfers and color photos because of "track marks" from dark inks onto light colors....
Pros: Very fast, High Quality Cons: Nothing I can think of
This is possible the only product I now like out of the bundle package I got with my iMac. It is very easy to use. You just install the software once, with the easy install disk included. Then, you just push print when ever you want to print. From...
Pros: Good for the price Cons: Wish it printed faster
Lets start out with the price.Macmall has them for around $150 with a $50 mail in rebate.As far as the product itself, It is small enough to fit on the desk without taking up to much room.The software was real easy to install.It was too easy to set it...
Pros: prints without jamming Cons: comes in those see through colors if you want
As a computer profession it is my function to recommend products and services to others .. this is one of the best on my recommend list. Most of the people I deal with are not "computer savvy" and this choice of printer makes it so easy to...
Pros: High Quality Printouts, Cheap, Durably Cons: Tech support
I've been using Epson printers for the past 5 years, and I have never had any problems with the printers. The opperating systems hav rejcted some of the older models I own, but a direct blow to the operating systems head, cause it to decide to support...
Pros: Prints fast, feeds one paper at a time Cons: Noisy, Quality isn't as good
When I first bought a Epson printer a while back ago I was disappointed with it. It wouldn't print unless I played around with the options and the in would always smear and leak. Needless to say, I bought a Epson Stylus 740 printer when my friend...
Although, I have been using Epson printers for a long time, I have recently been convinced to never buy a printer from Epson again. About three weeks ago I purchased an Epson printer. When the printer arrived it did not work. After dealing with the...
Pros: Great quality text and Graphics Cons: You have to spring for fancy paper for best results
Brought home the Epson Stylus Color 740 about two weeks ago, and i am extremely satisfied.
Brilliant performance for two hundred bucks, not to mention the fact that they throw in a first supply of ink. That goes for about fifty five dollars alone,...
Pros: Good print quality, ease of use Cons: avg speed
Having an Imac I needed a printer which was USB compatible. The amazing thing about the 740 is that it has 3 ports, USB, Serial, and a PC port. I bought it because of this and the price and the reports of its good print quality. I have not been...
I have an epson stylus 740. it is a good printer. excellent speed. good cartridge life and printouts as clear as they can get. Today is the day of supercheap ink jet printers but don't rely on this they break down fast and cartridges finish in a...
Pros: 6 ppm black, 5 ppm color - 1440 x 720 dpi - insanely inexpensive! Cons: none
I have tried several printers before, but I've stopped looking once the Epson Stylus Color 740i was found. This is great for iMac, Mac, and PC users! It is USB, so you can plug/unplug into your computer without restarting. Right now I believe...
I can't say enough about this printer. You are in the middle of a big print job, intensive color ink use with a load of black inside. What normally happens is the pages start getting lighter or the graphics turn a color not called for. This condition is...
Pros: Great quality when it works right Cons: Heads clog easily, faulty feed mechanism, poor customer service.
My Epson printer kept getting jammed because it was feeding too many sheets of paper. Had to constantly "baby-sit" it. Then the belt mechanism got stuck on something. It took 3 long distance calls (at my expense) to get my printer replaced. (They wanted...
Pros: Excellent Quality Photos Cons: A little bit noisey
I owned a few different epson printers and choose to stay with them for my new printer. the 740 provides exceptional print quality for photos. Text is average. Speed and ease of use is great. I've got it running on both my PC and my Macintosh. Setup was...
Pros: great printing quality, reasonable purchase price Cons: very expensive ink jet cartridges.
The epson 740 gives you crisp very presentable output. The color printing is excellent. However, it is important to put the price into context in terms of the expensive ink jet cartridges. The cartridges last me about a month and at $28.00 a pop this is...
Pros: never breaks Cons: goes through ink quickly and is very loud
This may be one of the most reliable printers that I've ever used. I have never had a paper jam. However it is not without its flaws. I write a fair amount of work that needs to be printed out, and if I ever finish a paper at one or two in the...
I got this printer at www.ubid.com! What a good printer for the price. I got it for $111 with shipping and handling. Plus then I got a $50 rebate. It came with some great software. A gift card maker and a photomax pro. It is a pretty fast printer.It is a...
Good for the people new to computers by phonicsmonkey3 ,Feb 27 '06
Pros: Fast at times. Cons: Noisy, uses ink fast, photos aren't the best quality, jams every once in a while.
This printer would be good for people that just bought a computer for the first time. I traded my neighbor for one and I've had it for 2 years. I've been happy with it whenever it was fine, but there was the occasional paper jam. The worst part of this printer was how loud it was when it is printing, turning on, and turning off. If you need this printer for a quiet place or a place where you can only print in the night, when everybody's sleeping, don't buy this printer.
