Review 2 of 10
Price Paid:
$170.00 Summary: this was purchased as an adjunct to my older (refurbished) Stylus Color 800 because I felt the photo output on that one was wanting. What a great decision on my part!!! This little beauty, while admittedly not a speed demon, does so nicely that I do ALL my photo printing at home, even bypassing CVS and Walgreens who have in-store printing machines that can accept CF cards.
It's relatively quiet, and contrary to other reviews I've read, isn't a real drinker when it comes to ink. Compatible cartridges can be found, like at Carrot Ink which perform nicely but cannot promise the lightfastness Epson does for prints using both their inks and papers.
Well worth my investment! Strengths: Relatively quiet, not real thirsty based on my needs. Weaknesses: Wouldn't use as a primary printer - but for photo output only, it's really great! Similar Products Used: HP Deskjet 5550, which was more expensive and didn't give me anywhere near the output quality.
Newest printer in my home is the Stylus Photo 890, based on my experience with the 870, which is now goi Customer Service: Epson has always been responsive and helpful; I have no complaints at all!
