• Epson

- Not for you if you prefer recycled ink
This so far has proven to be an overall great printer. Easier to use and has no driver issues like I had with my old HP 1218. Only technical problem I've had so far is figuring out the CD printing tray. I found the trick is not to put the tray in the CD area until the printer is fully booted. Otherwise it goes brain-dead and flashes pretty red lights at you.

Why Epson looses a star from me on this is that they're actively suing and making life difficult for ink recyclers. Up to now, I have found Internet sites that still make recycled ink for this printer. But as I understand it if Epson has their way that will soon stop. One of their single cartridges retails for $20. That's 1 color for about half the price of the 3 colors for my old HP. One complete ink refill and I've practically bought this printer all over again. To me this is a black-eye on Epson's otherwise fine products.

- Nice product
I'm pleased with the printer. Software was easy to install and works without complications with my computer running Vista Ultimate.

- Don't waste your money!
I should have known better.

I did enough research to be aware that some people have had problems with these printers. I selected this one because it seemed to have better reviews then some other Epson printers that print on DVDs.

I received the printer and installed it.
I printed about 4 pages and got a message that said that three of the ink cartridges were not recognized and needed to be replaced.

I tried to resolve the issue but removing and replacing them accomplished nothing as did contacting Epson.
They did not offer to replace the bad cartridges but would replace the printer if I sent it back.

Against my better judgment I purchased and replaced the ink on my own.

The printer worked for about a month and now I am getting the same thing, a message that says that the ink cartridges are unrecognized. Once again this issue can not be resolved.

Since a new printer doesn't cost much more then more new ink and I don't want to go the hassle of packing up and taking the printer to a UPS location I'm just going to dump it in the trash and spend some time researching a new printer today.

Do to the lack of help I received from Epson I am not going to buy another Epson printer but will look at Hewlett Packard and Cannon.

At this point I will forget about printing on CDs (the reason that I selected this printer to start with) until someone else makes a printer that will do so.

This printer was worse then useless and so was Epson support. They will not even admit that this is a common problem.

Like I said save your money.

- LOTS of problems with my Epson Photo
After years of happy photo printing with my Canon i960 I replaced it with my Epson R280 Photo. When my Epson works, it works pretty good. When it doesn't work (50% of the time) it is awful. VERY hard to figure out why it isn't printing right. It is a crapshoot to guess which ink is out. Sure it has a gauge but whenever I replace the one it shows the lowest, it doesn't fix the problem. Neither does cleaning the heads repeatedly.

This has been an exercise in frustration for me and I can't imagine ever buying another Epson printer again. That is sad because I used to think Epson's were really the very best printers made. Not any more.
