| Epson Stylus Photo R1800 quickly creates large, archival quality glossy and matte photos worthy of display. Experience the rich, true-to-life colors and subtle detail that's evident in every image. It's all possible with Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Inks, plus an industry leading resolution and ink droplet size - the same innovative features that made the Epson Stylus Photo R800 a resounding success.

LEMON

-5 out of 5 stars Bad printer - don't waste your money -
LEMON!!!!! I bought this printer because of all the rave reviews. I have had it a year and have not have even one good print. The ink is very expensive. The printer eats cartridges. When the color only printed out blue I tried to clean the cartridges, and while cleaning the cartridges I went through 4X of each of the 7 colors. It cost a fortune! I kept thinking it was a fluke, maybe the ink was all dried up. But even buying cartridges from different stores didn't help. My computer said it was out of ink each time a new cartridge was inserted. I ended up spending more on ink than the computer cost. Throwing it out the window would be a delight except that would be more effort than this printer is worth.

| I got his printer in Feb of 2006 b/c I wanted a large format printer...now in 2008 it will no longer print. And y? Well out of media, paper not loaded correctly. I have read the reviews and tried everything..but still not working. Two of my friends have this printer and one of them works fine..the other one same problem. Its very tempermental! I had a epson printer in 2002 and it did the same thing..after a year...then they sent me 2 more referbished ones still same problem. My sister has the epson C86 its aweful! it eats INK,,and the black ink cost 30 dollars! It makes lines through the prints and the text printing is terrible! I don't know what to do or what printer to buy. Then i called espon and they said they never heard of the "out of media, paper not loaded correctly problem" liars..all they have to do is check message boards like these. |

A moody model
2008-03-03

I bought the R1800 as it was by far the most recommended for my printing needs. But within the first weeks it started to complain about media not being loaded properly and was struggling to grab onto any paper. I worked with it and patiently re-fed sheets when it acted up, but of course, it would then act fine for a few days (just so you wont call customer service...). Finally (at the worst moment, obviously) it completely gave up and stopped working completely. After going through the epson customer service steps, which I have to say are a bit tedious and the customer care calls a little frustrating (bad internet phone line to god knows where), epson finally agreed to send me a replacement. Needless to say (hence bad review), that one didn't work well for more than 2 weeks. So, now I'm on the third one, without any guarantee, they quote it as out of stock and therefore replace broken ones with, yes, refurbished ones. Not really the kind of warranty you would expect with a 600 printer.
Granted, the quality is great, when it prints, if it prints. Most of my colleagues agree with frustrations, most are having problems with them. But I somehow feel it should be more than just good quality, but also, stability, service etc. for this price tag. And consistency would be nice, i.e. not deciding to only allow plain paper for 2 days.
Like I said - A moody model. |

Dissapearing Ink -- Very Expensive Proposition
2008-03-02
|
You know how when you buy a car consumer reports now gives you an estimate on how much it costs to actually own it . . . well I hope someone would have told me about how expensive it's to own this printer. I have owned this printer for six months and have only printed sucessfully four 12 * 12 sheets and I am out of ink. Basically if you don't use it, the ink seems to dissapear. This is a very expensive proposition since 1) The replacement inks are expensive and 2) the printer won't work if one of the colors is out.
Also, if you don't use this printer frequently (several times a week), you have to do this cleaning procedure to clean the print heads so the colors will come out correctly. This is cumberson and time consuming. In comparison, my HP printer has never needed this much babysitting.
I wish I would have known this before investing so much money in this printer. My recomendation . . . stay away. Look for another printer that is one 1)easier to use and 2)cheaper to own!!!! |

Overall not bad
2008-02-28

Overall this printer isn't bad for the out put is fairly nice.
However that being said if you plan on working with a mac on the new leopard you might encounter slight problems where you can't turn off the color balance completely and thus it is doubly applied and makes images look like crap. Even when you talked to epson they said on their's they can but when you try it on yours it's too dark for your calibrated monitor.
Then there is also the problem, once you've wised up and started using a pc to print, that if you turn it on and off, as Epson recommends you do, you blow through ink printing perhaps 10 images and needing more ink. Yes the convenience of only needing to replace individual cartridges is convenient however having to constantly buy them or keep them in stock is not.
So overall the print quality is nice, however spending two months to make it all work properly makes it most likely not worth your time or effort. |
