925 EPSON IS A POOR PRODUCT - UNRELIABLE

After having owned several of this family of EPSON printers (780,825,890 and 925), I finally decided to change brands. (I know, why didn't I learn?). Well, for awhile, the prints from these models seemed really nice and sharp, but constant cleaning of ...

Beautiful prints when new. Pre-mature printer failures.

Inreliable. Epson printers fail with error codes after limited use.

Epson 925 = Garbage

OVERVIEW: Overall I hate this printer. The photo printing is hit or miss: Sometimes it's great, sometimes it sucks. (I realize that my word selection--"sucks"--is not very professional, but it is still the correct term to use!) The print heads dry ...

Easy setup, many printing options, roll paper, memory stick slot

Frequent head cleaning, requires powering off when not using, horrible paper feed,poor photo prints.

Epson 925 Sucks

Great photo lab quality pictures. 4x6 photo paper roll for larger jobs. No computer needed.

Frequent paper jams. Poor print quality for text. Unable to correct offset printing.

Very good photo inkjet printer. But still inkjet nonetheless

If you're in the market for photo-quality printers, you'll be very happy with this one but you also must recognize its limitations.

Excellent quality. Media slots are helpful to select group.

slow .... so slooow. Ink issues.

Epson photo 925

We were trying to decide between the Epson and the HP 7350 when the Epson Representative came into the store. He was great and demonstrated all of the features for us. He did not knock the competition and was not pushy. The machine sold itself. We...
