Cons: Ink cartridges are expensive and run out quickly

You know, the problem with buying one new high tech gadget is that it inevitably leads to another. In November my husband and I bought ourselves a Canon Digital S110 camera to take on our family trip to Hawaii. We came home with lovely memories and...

Pros: cheap, excellent photo-color, acceptable resolution, excellent software
Cons: loud, slow, uses lots of ink, prints not 100% reliable both for texts or photos

I bought the Epson Stylus Photo 820 after I got fed up with my Canon Color Bubble Jet printer BJC-7004 that did not print well and wasted so much of its expensive ink; and it was driving me nuts with its unbelievably long warm-up and shut-down time. The...

The Printer

Being stamped a photo printer these days, for an inkjet, is very significant. Considering a true photo printer costs in the region of half a grand for a decent one, the inkjet alternative that is Epson’s Stylus Photo...

Pros: Excellent quality photos
Cons: Uses lots of ink, a bit noisy, one color ink cartridge rather than individual tanks

This is a great printer. I have had an old Epson Stylus color 600 for the past 6 years. Recently I purchased a digital camera and soon realized that my old printer is simply not good enough to take full advantage of my digital photos. That is when I...

Pros: Low Price Point, 6 Colors, Epson Reputation, Lab Quality Prints, Border-free Printing
Cons: Relatively High Ink Consumption, Cartridge Cost

I'll begin by explaining what led me to purchase the Epson Photo 820 printer. I had purchased an Alps MD-2010 printer about six years ago, which was about $500 at the time. The newer technologies were not out yet, so the dye-sub printers were leaps and...

Pros: print results are very good for a $100 model. we use-it with our digital camera.
Cons: a seemingly unique "ink-drying" cartridge problem. please read about my experience.

Hello, pleased to be here to share my experience with the Epson Stylus Photo 820.

My family has two of these printers (exact same model). We’ve had them for about eight months and six months, respectively.

I’m disappointed...

Pros: Excellent photo quality, easy to set-up and use, and great price.
Cons: Uses a lot of ink and needs to be used regularly.

(I have decided to update this review (on Feb. 2, 2004) after almost two years of use. I am not as enamored as I was before so I wanted to update this review with a little more info. It's still a great printer, just not as fantastic as I previously ...

Pros: Easy to setup, beautiful color printouts, good compatibility with XP
Cons: Expensive ink cartridges, flimsy construction

Let me preface this review with the fact that I have had two other Epson Stylus Photo printers, and this printer shows that lineage and growth. It also continues the tradition of a wonderfully accurate, colorful, and inexpensive printer that uses pretty...

Pros: Prints Excellent Quality Pictures
Cons: Ink hog, expensive cartridges, noisy

I purchased the Epson Photo 820 back in January 2002, shortly after they were introduced in Canada. Therefore I have had a fairly lengthy run with this Printer.

The printer was easy to set up as far as installing the drivers and having...

Pros: Great Photo Printing. Borderless letter size printing!
Cons: Consumes allot of ink. Not good for office use.

I purchased this printer based on its' borderless abilities. I'm a Graphic Designer who likes to print some of my work for the purpose of putting it directly into my portfolio. When I went to Fry's Electronics to purchase the printer, it was very...

Pros: Stunning photo quality printouts, value price
Cons: Not so stellar text output, slow print speeds, expensive media and ink cartridges

When I saw the flyer at the local computer store advertising the Epson Stylus 820 Photo for $150 CDN, I was a little skeptical at first. I didn't want to believe that a photo printer at that price could produce high quality photo printouts. Especially...

Pros: Excellent Print Quality, Improved Print Drivers, USB and parallel ports
Cons: Warmup period, slow, expensive ink, ink runs out quick

What an attrative printer. I had an Epson Stylus II before this one, and I was happy with it, so I wanted the Epson Photo 820 because at a price of $99 at most stores, you can't go wrong on a new printer. Sorta.

This little puppy has...

Pros: Excellent photo printing
Cons: Best to use epson paper for photos

There's so much color printers out there that it is hard to determine what is good. Canon? HP? Lexmark? Epson?

Depending on features such as do you need a built in memory card reader on the printer to print photo without a PC, or the...

Pros: Prints great photos!
Cons: Noisy start up...uses lots of ink

I've owned my Epson 820 for approx one month. I've owned Hp and Lexmark printers previously and needed a printer with cheaper ink and the ability to print decent photos. I had heard and read so many positive reviews about Epson printers I decided to...
