Epson Stylus Photo 820 Inkjet Printer: Clogged!

Thu, 30 Jun 2005 23:39:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sparknut - When the printer works, it works very well. But the ink jets tend to clog - and it uses a lot of expensive Epson ink to clean, clean and clean again. On my printer one color is completely clogged and even after dozens - yes, dozens, of cleaning...

Wed, 4 May 2005 20:04:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author belfus - I purchased this printer specifically to print digital pictures (I use a Panasonic KXP-6500 laser printer for text printing). Therefore I'll only comment on the photo printing. The good news is that the printer and maintenance costs are very low. I got...

Epson Stylus Photo 820 Inkjet Printer: Beautiful prints... once in a blue moon

Mon, 15 Nov 2004 01:15:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author liftin - You can get wonderful images out of this machine, once in a while. In between you are running cleaning cycles. You are restarting the print queue when the paper misfeeds. You are replacing the cartridges. This is a moody, hard-to-please beast. You could...

Fri, 22 Oct 2004 23:30:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kengland4 - I've had my share of Epson printers, and I prefer them for my main use: printing photos. When I saw the opportunity to grab one of these babies from Epson's web site for $50, I jumped at the chance. I actually didn't open up the box and use the...

Epson Stylus Photo 820 Inkjet Printer: Print heads always need cleaning

Mon, 30 Aug 2004 15:07:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mwitthoft - I don't use the printer that often. I guess it dries out and clogs when it's not used steadily. Every time I try to print, the output is streaky and thin. I have to do the "clean print heads" thing about six times (no exxageration! a single "clean...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ks2cents - I have had this little baby now for a couple of years, it replaced my 640. Yes, I made the mistake twice.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jdhagin - The 820 is a great photo printer for the cost. It produces photo prints that are almost and very close to continues tone. The problems I have seen on this review page are because the instructions are not followed: 1. download the latest drives from...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mranal - This printer was awesome for the first week but has since given me nothing but grief. The black jet always needs to be cleaned after 5 pages are printed. I contacted Epson and they were more than willing to ship me a new one (great service). However,...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author grinch6 - If you're in the market for a "decent" printer under $100.00, this one's it. However, I run a graphic design firm and this printer isn't cutting it. I've been through two (2) exchanged printers with EPSON and they all have the same problem: if it sits...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rbrong - This printer had problems from the day it came out of the box. The included ink were gone in a matter of days due to the need to clean the print head almost immediately. The printer is defective and Epson should quit selling it - even if it is now...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cassius75 - This is my second Epson printer, and I'm still disappointed. My mom's been dealing with home computers since I was 10 (about 18 years ago) so she's used to dealing with all the hills and valleys of getting a printer to work with a Mac, namely an HP...

Mon, 1 Dec 2003 14:47:07 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author smasonnc - Whoever gave this printer a good review must work for Epson. This is by far the worst printer I have ever had or know of. It sucks ink and unfortunately, that's not all that sucks about this printer. I bought it because WinXP doesn't support my...

Fri, 21 Nov 2003 22:38:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author fatray - I had this printer now for a year and I hate it. The print heads get clogged constantly. You will waste half the ink you use trying to unclog the jets. My black has two permanently clogged jets that will not clear up ever. This results in poor photos...

Epson Stylus Photo 820 Inkjet Printer: huge disappointment

Sun, 26 Oct 2003 19:51:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lowegirl - It looked like a printer that would produce quality photo images for a reasonable price.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cartra12 - Though it has always been noisy, slow and reminiscent of an old washing machine that shakes everything around it during its spin cycle, I was not entirely unhappy with this printer when I first bought it. In all fairness, I did print out at least 5...
