Summary: How could Epson make such an awful product?
Review: I'm an Epson afficionado, but after having this printer I will not be buying another Epson. It has been a constant headache, frequent paper jams, firmware glitches, inkjets clogging over and over (I lose a lot of ink by having to clean jets at least 2-3 times in succession to get ink flowing again).Stay away from it. Go with a Canon or HP. Those seem to get the best reviews. It's a shame... the output really is beautiful, but it's not worth tearing your hair out.

Summary: Avoid this like the plague
Review: Photo quality was very good to excellent. Overall, however, this printer was an incredible disappointment. When my Epson 750 started to go downhill after a few years I bought this for my department, thinking it would be a good replacement. Well it's good when it prints which is about 30% of the time. 70% of the time, for no reason whatsoever, it would print 10-70% of the document and then simply stop -- as if ordered to do so by some higher power. I have no idea why. Nothing in the manual explained this. I reinstalled the driver and other software dozens of times. Our computer techs at work could not figure it out. Advice from the Epson support staff suggested installing the ink monitor software which we did -- none of this worked. Sometimes, after reinstalling the driver the printer would print 10 pages (of mostly image layout drafts) successfully then start to do its usual stopping in the middle of a document. What's the point of owning something that does this?

Summary: Guzzles ink, constant clogging, expensive ink
Review: The heads need constant cleaning, and cleaning uses up a lot of ink. Cleaning often clogs the heads even worse. The cartridges are small and expensive. They have a chip that disables them after a certain amount of use, whether they are really used up or not. You'll spend more time and ink cleaning heads than printing. Print quality is okay if you can get the heads clean, and if you have any ink left by then. Built-in media card reader is nice.

Summary: The Best I've Ever Owned!
Review: This Epson 925 printer is the best I've ever owned. I've owned HP, Lexmark, and Compaq. This one is just the best. Easy, reliable, can use multiple types of digital camera cards, cheap ink refills and cartridges last a long time. I like it so much, that I bought a second one for my son. Highly recommend!!! Works great with XP Professional!

Summary: Bad drivers and operating program
Review: This is a replacement for an older Epson Printer. It has good prints. I have windows xp. I have nothing but program trouble with this unit. Contacted Epson, no reply on how to fix the problem. After printing a photo, I have to shut down my computer and restart it so I can print on this printer of my HP lazor Jet printer again. I also have a HP Lazer Jet B&W printer. After every use of the Epson my lazer jet prints a page with a small smiley face in the upper left hand corner with an arrow next to it. Tried new driver downloads, Still has same problem. I think this might be a good printer, if I could get the unit to work properly. Tried a Epson 960, same problem. I would never buy another Epson, because of the bad programs.

Summary: AWFUL, AWFUL, HORRIBLE WASTE OF $
Review: This is my third Epson printer... and my final.
I bought it for the borderless technology, and the card reader ability, and the memory capability.
-Prints BEAUTIFUL photos!
***only with factory ink & epson premium glossy paper.
That's the only quality.....and with that comes the ink driking ability of this thing. Man- I've NEVER seen ink drain so fast!
I've got friends with HP, and the photo's come out just as nice, and the ink last for ever!
Not to mention HP's rarely seem to jam- I now have to manualy feed each envelope in the tray one by one, by hand!
If all you want is a photo printer- buy this....
If you want a work horse, that can do it all, buy an HP... it's that simple.
BTW....if you have an Secured Digital card for your camera (SD) this card reader thats built in, takes EVERYTHING BUT THAT and the usb port will not recognize anything when you plug in the card reader, or any usb device. I've tried it. Had to buy an SD card reader separately, cause that's what type of card my kodak digital takes.
BAD EPSON....BAD EPSON....NEVER AGAIN EPSON!!!!!!!

Summary: Great Printer
Review: This printer is great for printing pictures and you can even print them without owning a computer, as long as you have the memory or flash card. It is also capable of printing the long roll of 4 x 6 borderless photos and has a self-cut device that cuts out the roll for you. When printing the glossy quality photos, it consumes lots of ink, so you might want to keep some back up cartridges, since they will drain out pretty quickly. Look for those generic ink cartridges for this model. They work well and save you money. If you're looking for a printer that prints great quality picture and capable of doing the regular printing, this printer is for you. But if you're looking to print a regular color picture or just for printing documents, I suggest a cheaper printer.

Summary: Worst Epson I've ever owned
Review: This printer would be a poor value if it was free. The print quality is good and it does not seem to fade like HP ink. The problems are a poor paper feed that routinely picks up 3 or 4 sheets, an ink system that clogs continuously (requiring head cleaning many times a day), a tendency to smear ink on the pages, and very high ink consumption.

Summary: Fabulous Printer
Review: This works like a dream. Installation and setup on XP Home version on my Dell Inspiron couldn't have been easier.
The photos are truly awesome. Incredible clarity.
Since I print mostly from the computer I don't really need the extra ability to do it stand alone, but I guess it's nice to have.
