Epson Stylus Photo 700 InkJet Printer

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Poor performance, doesn't recognize Mac OS 9.04

In the world of technology, my husband and I have a mixed marriage. To put it another way, he uses a PC, and I use a Mac (That situation might not last. See my review called "To Mac, or Not to Mac.")

In spite of these fundamental...

Pros: Outstanding Photo's, Inexpensive
Cons: Slow, Has had it's mechanical problems

I have owned the Epson Photo 700 printer for close to 2 years now and my feelings on it are mixed.

For the printer itself, the quality is unbeatable for photo's, especially for a printer in it's price range. Using a glossy paper or hi quality...

Pros: Great colors and definition.
Cons: Black and white cartridge too small.

Considering the price range in which this printer falls, I was extremely impressed with the performance of my Stylus Photo 700. I bought it for approximately $220 at Comp USA about nine months ago, and it has never failed me once. I bought it was at...

Pros: amazing pictures
Cons: dull text

I purchased the Epson 700 Photo, it's the one with the black tint cover and white body. Overall the printer looks quite cool and prints photos amazingly. I even saw a fake driver's license printed on an Epson 700, and DAMN it looked perfect, except for...

Pros: photo quality, ink lasts longer, great software included
Cons: name brand ink cartridges are EXPENSIVE

Epson Photo Stylus 700 Printer is a photo printer that is fast with good quality.

I recieved my printer for my birthday a year or two ago along with a digital camera so I could print out the pictures I took. I also recieved a package of...

Pros: Great Output
Cons: Limited uses, Loud, Slow, Expensive to maintain

I purchased the Epson Photo 700 about 18 months ago, impressed by the print samples that I saw at the retailer.
I purchased the printer, and was impressed by the quality- some of my friends didn't believe that my home printer could produce such...

Pros: high picture quality, inexpensive
Cons: small ink wells, slow

The Epson photo 700 is one of the best ink jets out there. You will not find a better print quality out there. It uses 6 colors instead of the usual 4, but there is a draw back to this. Because it uses 6 that means the ink wells are smaller than...

Pros: The best picture print quality ever!!!!!, average priced ink cartriges, great software and utilities
Cons: slow, not the sharpest text it the world

So far this is the best printer (for my needs) I have seen yet. I have owned an Epson Photo 700 for about 1 year now and have never had any problems. Although it printer slower then some other printers and the text is a bit fuzzy (so people say...

Pros: Great Printer especially for pictures
Cons: none

I am a detail oriented hardware tech who is very picky. I bought a refurbished Epson Stylus Photo 700 about a year ago and wish I had sooner. This is a Wonderful Printer. My wife and I like to print our own greeting cards and pictures. The value for the...

Pros: Awesome color
Cons: a bit slow with really vibrant images

I got an Epson after hearing this same commercial incessantly. I thought well I might as well try it and not have to wonder over and over again every time I heard that stupid commercial. I wanted to test it out by taking some colorful pictures of...

Pros: high speed printing, clear photos, inexpensive ink cartridge
Cons: Slow data transfer

The Epson Stylus Photo 700 printer is very compact and affordable. It offers high speed printing of both black and white and color printing. Photos turn out very sharp and accurate. The printer cartridge is inexpensive, long lasting, and easy to...

Pros: Good photo quality
Cons: Hard to clean, awful maintenance, high priced, terrible support

I bought this printer quite awhile back. It had awesome photo quality, although it used up my ink like a kid drinking juicy juice. Another problem I had with it is that it liked to clean itself every time it turned on, wasting the ink and, of course,...

Pros: Great software, impressive images, cheap
Cons: slow, prone to mechanical problems.

I purchased this printer on the strength of it's stats/price ratio, plus the Epson name. I was looking for a good all around printer for home/small business use to replace my Apple Color Stylewriter. It's been everything I could ask for and more (and...

Pros: Excellent Photo Quality, Low Cost
Cons: Slow, Loud, did I say Slow???

I've had my Epson Stylus Photo 700 for about two years. Up until recently I have had no problems with it. It is a high quality inkjet printer that uses six colors, instead of four, to create it's amazingly accurate printouts. I have been extremely...

Pros: Great print quality. Unequaled customer support.
Cons: Slow when printing full color photos. Ink cartridges are pricey...but they all are.

The Epson Stylus Photo 700 printer is pretty decent. On quality photo paper, with the highest print quality setting, it prints beautifully. It can be ridiculously slow with large, high res images, but for small print jobs it is adequate. What ...

Pros: Not bad for a cheap inkjet
Cons: Slow, poor color resolution, noisy

If you print on coated paper it does okay, but on plain paper for invoices, envelopes, etc it's unacceptable. The color prints darker (or lighter, depending on it's mood) than what you see on your screen so it's been a problem.

If you want...

Pros: it works for 8-12 months
Cons: I doesn't work after that

My family has had 2 Epson 600s and 1 Epson 640. I didn't know where to put this review, so i'm putting it here. My sister was the first to get the 600. After 13 months, 1 month after its warrantee, the printer mysteriously stopped working. We used only...

Pros: Prints nice a few times in a row, well supported
Cons: UNRELIABLE

I bought an Epson Stylus Photo 700 in Oct of 1998. It is now March of 2000.

#1 - Started printing with WAY too much ink. Epson replaced it.
#2 - Just died. Not lights, no sounds. Epson replaced it.
#3 - Head slams in the side twice...

Pros: Excellent output, great price
Cons: slow

The Epson Stylus Photo 700 Color printer is an excellent printer. It has the advantage of being both PC and Mac compatible. It does not have USB compatibility. I use this printer on a Macintosh computer and have found it's output to be excellent but...

Pros: Excellent quality clipart and text printing; Fairly easy to change cartridge
Cons: Expensive cartridges; Yet to print out good photo; Ink clogging; Takes forever when turned on

My family bought this printer at a local computer shop after they showed us what it could do, and everyone on this website seems to say it prints excellent pictures. However, I have yet to figure out how to print clear pictures with it. All of the pictures I print from Paint Shop Pro are blurry or even pixely even though they look crystal clear on the screen. I don't know if it's an issue with that program or the printer. The clipart from my old old program Printmaster Gold looks excellent and sharp, but I can't get regular pictures to work for me. Also, I don't print things all the time, and this printer really annoys me because it always gets clogged up and I have to tell it to clean itself(which wastes more of the expensive ink). I figure the stores will quit carrying this ink cartridge pretty soon since the printer is getting older.
