Epson Stylus Photo® 925 InkJet Printer

Pros: Excellent print quality and card readers
Cons: Drinks ink and has typical print head clogging problem

I recently found myself on the lookout for a new printer for my wife. This is because the Epson C80 that our kids were using finally died. The computer situation in our house starts with my wife's PC and goes down to my kids and finally falls to me. This...

Pros: Excellent quality. Media slots are helpful to select group.
Cons: slow .... so slooow. Ink issues.

If you're in the market for photo-quality printers, you'll be very happy with this one but you also must recognize its limitations.

Its strong points include media slots, roll adapter, good menu options and excellent print quality.

...

Pros: Easy setup, many printing options, roll paper, memory stick slot
Cons: Frequent head cleaning, requires powering off when not using, horrible paper feed, poor photo prints.

OVERVIEW: Overall I hate this printer. The photo printing is hit or miss: Sometimes it's great, sometimes it sucks. (I realize that my word selection--"sucks"--is not very professional, but it is still the correct term to use!) The print heads dry ...

Pros: Easy to set up. Mem Module Sockets
Cons: Printer in unreliable

Couple years ago I bought my first digital camera, 5MP Sony DSC-F717. I quickly realized the cheesy Cannon printer I had could not handle the challenge. I went to the Sony sight and they suggested Epson printers, such as the 925. I purchased one. Easy ...

Pros: Great photo lab quality pictures. 4x6 photo paper roll for larger jobs. No computer needed.
Cons: Frequent paper jams. Poor print quality for text. Unable to correct offset printing.

When I decided to buy a photo printer, I spent hours online researching. I had narrowed the field when the professional photographer that I frequent advised me that all of the 'pros' use Epson printers, that they are considered the best producer of qualit ...

Pros: Beautiful prints when new. Pre-mature printer failures.
Cons: Inreliable. Epson printers fail with error codes after limited use.

After having owned several of this family of EPSON printers (780,825,890 and 925), I finally decided to change brands. (I know, why didn't I learn?). Well, for awhile, the prints from these models seemed really nice and sharp, but constant cleaning of ...

Pros: Good Photo Quality & relatively quiet
Cons: Paper loader and feeder jams

I have been quite disappointed with this printer. The original purchase had to be returned under warranty as it jammed completely. The replacement printer has been somewhat better but regularly takes a feed of 3 to 4 sheets for a print and then either...

Pros: Easy to use, outrageous photos on premium glassy paper
Cons: a little pricey

We were trying to decide between the Epson and the HP 7350 when the Epson Representative came into the store. He was great and demonstrated all of the features for us. He did not knock the competition and was not pushy. The machine sold itself. We...

Pros: Exceptional print quality. Images match exactly what I saw on my camera.
Cons: It's slow and horizontal bands result when attempting to print from Photoshop.

It took me a long time to get this printer set up, because I was using my old USB printer cable inst ...

Pros: beautiful, clear pictures, even if scanned and retouched or resized
Cons: Retouching options limited; doesn't work if one ink cartridge runs out.

My husband and I purchased the Epson 925 so we could make our own prints from our digital camera. W ...

Pros: None.
Cons: Drinks ink. Hit or miss photo quality.

Not satisfied with this product at all. Drinks lots of ink. If you run out of color ink you cannot print in black until you replace the color cartridge. Continuously requires cleaning the nozzles which consumes the expensive ink.

Pros: NONE
Cons: Too many to list

I made the mistake of buying this instead of an HP. The quality of the color photo prints is poor. An Epson cartridge I bought failed after a few days use. It is noisy and slow. This is the LAST Epson printer I will ever buy.

Pros: Endless possibilities, great quality and very convenient.
Cons: None.

I received this printer over 2 years ago and could imagine having anything else. The quality of the photos are exceptional. The layout options are endless. The ability to print 4x6 photos on a paper roll so you don't waste paper is a great idea! You put you memory card right into the printer so you don't even need a computer. This printer is wonderful.

Pros: Image quality on photo paper very nice
Cons: Paper handling terrible, expect more jams than feeds.

This 925 Photo Printer was a replacement for an Epson that died (and we know that inkjets aren't cost effective to repair most of the time). The image quality on photo paper was very good, and the handling of plain paper OK, but try any other paper and expect to throw a lot out, or just get frustrated. Heavyweight stock or glossy photo paper would more often than not jam trying to feed in. I would usually have to baby the paper at the feed end to try to get it to take.

And as others have mentioned, its print heads often clog requiring repeated cleaning (and wasting of ink - I think I ended up wasting at least 50% of the ink cartridges on cleaning cycles).

The abiltiy to handle roll paper was nice, as I had used photo paper in that format, but even that was often hard to feed in.

The R&D department needed to research this unit better before placing it on the market. I recently gave up and trashed the unit; and this will be the last time I buy Epson.

Pros: Good picture quality; built-in memory card reader can print directly, or download to PC.
Cons: Frequent ink clogs; much time & ink wasted in needed "cleaning cycles".

I bought this printer at a show where a demo unit was continuously printing a beautiful series of pictures taken of prospective customers-- a great sales tool! After I bought one and set it up, I got similar results, too. However, I soon found out that near-continuous printing is all it CAN do; if you don't print anything for a couple of days, the inkjets plug up, and you must run one or more "cleaning cycles". Since I soon was using more ink cleaning than printing, I now tend to "save up" multiple digital photos and print them all at once so that less ink is wasted in cleaning compared to printing. (I was better off getting 'em developed at the drug store-- I got prints sooner!) I've set my 10-year-old HP Deskjet 660 back up again so that I can do impromptu text printing without having to do a confounded "cleaning cycle" on the Epson just to print one page! (It also turns out that the old HP is a better text printer, by the way.) The Epson printer is NOT recommended unless you will be doing DAILY color printing.

Pros: None
Cons: paper jams head clogs

I have had this printer for over a year and I'm ready to replace it. The worst problem is the paper jams. I have tried different paper and still the problem persists. I am down to hand feeding a piece of paper in when I need to print because it jams every time. The print head seems to clog a lot and I have to pretend I'm putting in a new cartridge to get it to work right again. The picture quality on all types of paper and settings is OK. Not great - not poor - but not up to my expectations. I've been a computer user for 20 years and this printer, by far, has had the most problems!!

Pros: perfect machine to distroy your ink, paper and patience
Cons: clogged heads,paper jam, slow handling, bad manual; Better spend your money in the pub !!!

Did not know I could be so angry!!
Hours and hours I spent to get good pictures.
I knew he printed me some before.
As you get it to work it prints marvelous photographs.
Mostly he distroys many A4's before you have your print.

Pros: Nice print quality when it works
Cons: Doesn't work properly very often - ink is ALWAYS clogged.

I'm not one to write these types of reviews - but I had to this time. This printer is miserable. When it works the print quality is great - but that's the problem WHEN it works - which is not very often. Right now I'm going through the head cleaning process for the 11th time today - the heads still aren't unclogged - good thing I don't need docs printed for an important meeting today - but believe me its happened many times. So save yourself a A LOT of grief and don't go with this printer. I am literally going to thrown mine out the window in about 10 minutes.

Pros: IT HAS FAIRLY GOOD READABLE INSTRUCTIONS
Cons: FOR ALL THE REASONS LISTED IN MY REVIEW

I HAVE OWNED MY EPSON 925 SINCE 2000
I USED OWN A HEWLETT PACKARD PRINTER AND I LIKED IT...
I AM SORRY THE DAY I PURCHASED THIS EPSON
I KNOW IS SUPPOSED TO PRINT OUT PHOTOS BUT THE COST IN INK IS PROHIBITIVE.
THE INK IS ALWAYS DRYING UP AND IT CAN BE A PAIN IN THE NECK WITH THE PAPER FEED...

I USED TO LOVE MAKING MY OWN GREETING CARDS.
THIS PRINTER HAS PROVEN TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE INK WISE
AND VERY AGGRAVATING TO USE. I NO LONGER MAKE MY OWN CARDS FOR THE ABOVE REASONS..

WILL NEVER PURCHASED AN EPSON AGAIN...

Pros: Built-in media card reader.
Cons: Guzzles ink, heads constantly clogged, ink is pricey.

I've had this printer for about a year, and I can't take it any more. I feel abused, violated, taken advantage of by this thing. The heads need constant cleaning, and cleaning uses up a lot of ink. Cleaning often clogs the heads even worse. The cartridges are small and expensive. They have a chip that disables them after a certain amount of use, whether they are really used up or not. I really believe that I have spent more time and ink cleaning heads than printing photos. I have so little to show for so much ink money and wasted time. I was going to give this away to a charity or thrift store, but I realized that I would be doing a disfavor to whoever would end up with it. I can't wait to slam my 925 into the trash.

Pros: Nice picture quality, when it printed right.
Cons: Drinks expensive ink, Clogs all the time, documents print too light.

I have had this printer over a year and it has never worked right. The instructions are terrible. Nothing seemed to work as it should.

Pros: NONE.
Cons: Drinks ink. Head cleaning required after nearly every page. Expensive ink.

This is simply the WORST printer EVER. Ink gets used so fast due to FREQUENT head clogging! EVERY OTHER FREAKIN' PAGE it needs cleaning. NEVER BUY AN EPSON PRODUCT.

Pros: None!
Cons: See comments!!

I have bought two 925 printers over the last 4 years. Both of them the print head failed after the same length of time. Thats with following Epson instructions to the letter. I have had a total of 6 Epson printers over the last 10 years. They have all suffered the same fate. Never again will I buy Epson. Be warned!

Pros: very detailed with photos
Cons: It's not working for me.

This is the second printer I have had from Epson. The first one had frequent paper jams. The exchanged it for this one. Same type 925, but would you believe that I'm experiencing the very same problems with this one also.

Easy to install if you follow the instructions. Printed several 8x10 landscapes on Kodak paper, they are perfect. Tried printing portraits, very disapointing. called Epson they suggested changing ink cartridge. I instead decided to try Epson's best paper, that solved the problem. I have had the printer for 3 weeks and on my second ink cartridge. I am very happy with this product.

The set-up was easy and the additional software was good. Overall the printer worked fine. A printed image of a hard copy scanned in photo displayed graininess. The colors were slightly off possibly due to my equipment. The photos printed with it were overall the same quality as my HP 932c which it was going to replace. Better in some respects, worse in others. For the money, it should do much better than a printer that I bought 3 years ago. I am sending it back to the store and am going to buy a competitor's brand and not let another Epson Rep talk me into something else.

Generally, my expectations were higher. Ink Management is annoying. The cartridges have a chip so you can't refill them, the printer stops printing if either cartridge runs out of ink. I think the initial cartridges that come with the printer are "samples"; read the empty FAST and you get to order new ones. After replacing the color cartridge (in one month) photos don't appear to come-out as nice. Can't figure out whats going on (tried alignment).

I am very happy with this printer. The quality is excellent, very easy to use and set up. Definitely worth the money. Look for the rebates. Some stores are offering good incentives.

for the money it out do itself, again picture quality is excellent and the software is competable with adobe 7.0. Will recomend for profesionals and amateur!!!! that easy to use

WOW... I am stunned with how far print quality has come. The prints are professional grade with Epson paper. Being able to load my disk straight into the printer makes it very fast and fun to print photos on the spot. Features are easy to follow. I am very pleased with this printer!

Other than the 4 inch roll, this printer is AWESOME! The prints are amazing and very easy to manage. It will print directly from my camera or from my pc. I am not very impressed wiht how often you have to align the printing heads though. The ink doesn't last very long either, but this is still a very god printer at a very good price!

I am very pleased with this printer. I have only had it a day, but I printed some photos that were far superior to ones at the local photo lab. The 4" roll is hard to feed and set up, but I am sure I will figure it out soon. A definite buy!

I love Epson printers for printing photos. It is slightly noisy and slow, but the photo quality is outstanding. I like the ability to print index sheets. Unfortunately, Epson printers work best with Epson paper and that can be expensive.

I have had this printer home for only a few days. The picture quality is exceptional and a 4" x 6" is done in about 50 seconds on very fine resolution. I stand firm in recommending this to others who have precious ditigal photos they want to relish and share. "A great buy for the money" Jim

I was juked at a large electronics store by the Epson sales rep. He gave me every reason not to buy the Cannon. He showed me stacks of prints from this printer at very high quality. It was a different story when I printed at home. My photos printed horrible. Resolution was not the same as the prints he showed me and the photos had very fine hairline scratches. I'm taking it back after I write this to switch for a Cannon.
