Epson Stylus Photo 785EPX Ink-jet Printer

Pros: Great Quality, color, detail
Cons: a little noisy, a little slow but it is worth the quality

I Have only had this printer for about 12 hours now but I can already tell it is the best printer I have ever bought. I use this printer to only print photographs off of a midranged digital camera . This printer works great for that. The quality is...

Pros: Excellent quality photos. Great value. Accepts Flash cards.
Cons: A little noisy.

The Epson Stylus Photo 785EPX was my first photo printer. I was really surprised to see how good the quality was for such a low priced printer. 10 times better than my epson that came with my computer. I print on Epson paper and set my photo software on...

Pros: It has an on-off switch, price
Cons: Very slow, eats up ink doing self cleanings ,nozzles clog,very noisy,poor support

When you first turn on this printer it hums ,buzzes and clunks back and forth for a minute plus befo ...

Pros: Big name product - Epson. Not too expensive initial cost.
Cons: Expensive ink. Terrible quality prints and colors. Noise acceptable if print quality better.

We bought this product for the Epson name and because the Epson rep was at the store where we were shopping and he sold us on this printer. I took a Photoshop class at the local community college and was trying to make some prints for class and ...

Pros: easy to place camera memory card directly into printer to print proof sheet
Cons: clogs, eats ink, poorly labeled buttons, difficult to use

I have owned this for over a year now, and have yet to be able to consistently print color photos. ...

Pros: Price and rebates
Cons: Print quality not as expected and drinks ink.

I found this printer for a bargain with a rebate as well. After reading a few reviews I felt it would be a nice addition to print decent digital photos. Set up was easy and software included was decent. As I am out of USB ports, a serial interface...

Pros: Excellent Color Pictures comparable to the more expensive Epson 1280 model.
Cons: The memory card viewer screen is a $99.00 extra

After making large color prints on my Epson 1280 (up to 13X19 inches), this smaller 785EPX print quality is the same as it's larger brother. Both printers drink ink, but the prints are fast drying and virtually will last for years according to Epson...

Pros: Nice index print ("contact sheet")
Cons: Doesn't work (stand-alone) with 16MB SD card

Against my advice, my dad purchased this printer and a Kodak CX4230 camera for my mom for Christmas. She doesn't have, nor does she want a computer - hence the decision on this stand-alone printer. It is supposed to be able to print photos directly...

Pros: Great photo printing quality (when it is not clogged). Excellent price.
Cons: Extremely small ink cartridges. Chronic nozzle clogs.

Update 12/29/03. Well.... The magic is gone. We just went through about 5 ink cartridges attempting to clear a clogged nozzle. After doing some searching on the net, it appears that clogged nozzles are common with Epson printers. I even tried ...

Pros: Excellent photo quality. PC slot for card adapter.
Cons: None of the software for printing or editing was compatible with XP.

I love this little printer. Sure it is a little noisy and bulky but for the price I am extremely satisfied. I printed Christmas cards this year and they were of equal or better quality than the photo shop here in town. I have found that the type of paper...

Pros: Awesome photo quality on Epson papers
Cons: Expensive ink cartridges Waste lots of ink clearing clogs

I have a love-hate relationship with this printer. As a very serious amateur photographer, I love the quality of prints I can make with this printer and all of the different digital cameras I've used, including a Nikon D100.

However, if you're...

Pros: very good color photo print quality
Cons: clogs frequently, driver does not work well, poor customer service

About 2 years ago I purchased an Epson 785EPX printer. I have been able to print many beautiful pho ...

Pros: The photo print quality is very good.
Cons: Everything else is very poor.

I replaced an HP 722C with this printer as the HP utilities could not be used with Windows XP. I read the reviews, checked all the prices and ordered the Epson. I was concerned when I installed it and I realized how noisy and bouncy it was when it went...

Pros: This printer works on demand. I liked it at first, and it prints drafts fast.
Cons: noisy, jams, stops working, needs multiple head cleanings!

This printer is CRAP! It not only is noisy, but the paper also jams. Epson doesn't tell you this, but after a high volume of printing, a screen will pop-up, without warning, that your printer is at it's service life and needs servicing. What they don't tell you is that it cost more to have it "serviced" than it does to buy a new printer. Epson has a counter inside that let's it know how many pages you have printed. When it reaches that magic number, the printer stops working...even if there is nothing wrong with it!

Pros: none
Cons: It is a piece of junk!

I have a circa 1997 printer that prints so much better than this piece of junk. Since the day we pulled it out of the box nothing has worked right...

1)The ink bleeds even if the right paper selection is made,
2)The paper jams constantly,
3)Envelopes can't be printed without smudges of ink drops on the sheet,
4)The color is never right...purples print red, greens look blue, etc...You have to guess which color to use on a document to get the color you really want to print
5)Photo quality looks like a bad copy machine
6)Constantly needs the replacing of ink cartridges which aren't cheap
7) Paper loads crooked, so type is not straight across page

Don't wast your money on this one! Unfortunately I am stuck with a lemon and I continue to have to use my old printer which is still far superior.
