You should be ashamed EPSON

 

the ink has to be replaced as the printer will ot work if one of the 6 ink's are "out" Epson has a chip that tell the printer when to make the consumer go by more ink. even though there is plenty of ink left. F**K you epson. You have lost a customer...

INK IS NOT SUPOSSED TO SUPPORT YOUR COMPANY PAY ROLL

Consumer review by:

Super Small Ink Cart. - Don't waste your money.

 

Purchased after my HP print heads finally ran out. Was cheaper to buy this printer than replace heads. ** Or so I thought. ** Little did I know that I would have to buy ink every 20 pages. It is to be expected that they get you with the ink - but Epson...

There is no good reason to buy this garbage printer. Or any printer from this company

Ink constantly runs out - with very little actual printing. Quality decent only when running in slowest possible (hi-res) mode. Otherwise, normal print (even for black & white text) sucks

Absolutely Top-Notch!!

 

I have owned this printer for about two years now, and would not trade it for anything else. The prints that come from this printer are absolutely superior to any other printer of comparable specs. The level of quality that this Epson presents is, in a...

Pure CRAPPPPPP

 

The R300 is the worst printer I have ever used. In printing DVD's I have to turn off the printer (then wait) then turn it back on after each printing.. to get rid of the Paper Jam Error that shows up each and every time. If im lucky it will then print....

Looks good

Waste of time and money

Great Print but it WILL COST YOU

 

Epson has great quality in their prints/colors. I must say that this printer which I have owned for about 5 months now is very very expensive to refill. Also I hate the fact you can not print without ALL yes I said ALL of the ink cartridges with some...

Very VIVID and Color Matching a Photo is Great

Nice when not in use

 

This is a nice printer for quality and it has the nice advantage of the cd tray that makes it so that we can put cds directly into the printer. The con is that this thing takes up soooo much ink and if you run out of example yellow ink and you need to...

CD tray for printing directly to cds, nice quality

This things guzzles more ink than a hummer

Consumer review by:

A good cd printer, tends to jam

 

I bought this principally to print CD labels. One of the problems with the printer is that the CDs are placed on a plastic carrier, and subsequently dragged into the printer to be printed. The lip of the carrier tends to become warped. As the carrier...

excellent print quality

tends to jam

Consumer review by:

I'm replacing mine.

 

Easy to set up. Photos are sharp.

The colors are way off, especially the reds.

Consumer review by:

lines and streaks and dots... OH MY!

 

I bought this printer to replace like the first color printer every made... An old HP, huge, slow, and crappy print... However this one wasn't much better.. out of the box with all the settings on their best output levels, it can deliver some...

cd printing

printing about anything else

Consumer review by:

An incredible bargain for a great printer

 

Please note that my rating evaluates print quality for the money spent, however I think this printer is as good as any other photo printer under $500 when it comes to print quality. What you don't get with the R300 that the more expensive printers...

Astounding print quality

Slow, expensive consumables
