Like Gillette, Epson makes money on their consumables.

by cottoneyemoe , Nov 11 '04
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 ...

Mixed feelings...

by midknight2k3 , Jan 23 '03
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...

Great printer for home photos...

by bigchiefkh , Jul 24 '02
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...

EPSON Stylus 740 Color InkJet Printer

by kdl222 , Jul 05 '02
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...

Look elsewhere for a printer that will be there for a while

by jennamonk , May 01 '02
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,...

An OK Color Inkjet Printer

by freeman727 , May 01 '02
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...

Love it...BUT

by savila14 , Feb 28 '02
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.

The really great thing...

I Bought This Printer Last Year

by kuiipo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 25 '01
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....

A near home-run, but not quite...

by zegers330 , Sep 01 '01
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...

I Loved the Photo-Quality Prints, until I Have Seen Better..

by lobsters , Aug 17 '01
Pros: Convenient (Semi)Photo-Quality Output, Low Priced Printer and Consumables
Cons: Noisy, Aged Software
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...

by uncledick , Jul 14 '01
Pros: Cheap; compatible with a wide variety of connections; decent text printing.
Cons: USB problems; unreliable.
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...

Epson SC 740 still printing after nearly 3 years abuse!

by lkdinsdale , Jun 22 '01
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...

Great side printer for home if you have a lazer printer at work

by nad_masters nad_masters is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Computer Hardware, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jun 11 '01
Pros: Fast, good print quality, versatile, customizable driver, cheap inks
Cons: Eats up ink fast
If you have kids at home, or even do a little photo printing at home, but don't want to spend alot, this is the perfect printer for you!

Forget the specs you read on the box. This printer is still subjectively fast! Normal quality letters...

Epson 740: Cheap, High Quality

by drfoster88 , May 29 '01
Pros: Very high quality, quick text printing, vibrant colors.
Cons: Setup was difficult.
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...

Great Printer When Running Well

by bashman , May 13 '01
Pros: High Quality Printing-especially when used on photo paper; rarely jams; Easy to Use
Cons: Rather expensive ink; runs through ink quickly
I bought the Epson Color Stylus 740 at the same time I bought my computer. I needed a relatively basic printer that would print out my word documents as well as my pictures. The printer was pretty cheap (especially for Epson)-$150 and is great for my...
