Epson Stylus® Color 740 InkJet Printer

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

Sigh. my HP DeskJet 682C just died. Right before I needed to print out my college applications too! So with the Christmas money I got from family, I set forth in search of an immediate replacement for my dead HP. After a bit of research (and what was...

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, price, USB connectivity
Cons: what's not to like?

Trying to decide which color printer to buy? Considering Epson's Stylus Color 740 or 740i? Well, here's the lowdown.

In my opinion, I don't think you can do better than the 740 when it comes to the best combination of print quality, speed,...

Pros: Print quality, reliability, included software
Cons: Cartridge cost

As a journalism teacher at a small school, I was interested in getting a high resolution printer for a good price. I had extensive experience with the Hewlett Packard printers and I was not impressed. Resolution was low and the ink took forever to dry...

Pros: Near Laser Quality and beautiful photos made inexpensively.
Cons: Occasional paper jams.

From it's ability to handle many types of paper, to it's speed and printing capability, this is one of the very best all around printers I've ever used. In my capacity as a computer consultant, I've had the opportunity to try out numerous different...

Pros: Quality, Ease of use, Technical support, Customer Service
Cons: They aren't free..........

This is the 5th printer I have purchased in three years. And by far it is the best. I am a Computer Information Systems major in college and I believe in quality. I also work full time so I do not want a product to give me any hassles. This Epson 740...

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

I purchased this printer about a week after i got my G3 Blue & White Mac. It remained consistent with the overall ease of setup that all my other peripherals had.

You Mac users of course will be happy because the price in this printer has...

Pros: Smallest Dot, superb color picture quality on Plain Paper
Cons: Slow, Loud, not that much better in quality that other similarly priced printers

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.

When I worked in the computer...

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
box off the shelves and told me that I will like it... well not so fast. A few months...

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.
There is a really good point about this printer. It can support three computers at one time without networking: a PC, a Mac,...

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...
