| peaches00's Full Review: Epson Stylus® Color 740 InkJet Printer |
This printer was purchased for me by my father back in April, when we bought a Gateway PC (Personal Computer). Right now I don't remember how much it was, but it was either $99 or $150.
Good Qualities:
1) Prints great.
2) The quality of the printouts is marvelous. (Photo and Regular)
3) Even if you print a photo on regular paper, it looks good.
4) No paper jams.
5) The ink cartridges are extremely easy to install, and to remove, though very expensive as usual.
Bad Qualities:
1) The setting up is quite confusing. At least to me it was. It brings a cd that is suppose to help you get it setup fairly easily, but it isn't. See if you're computer doesn't recognize that the printer works with a USB cable it won't print, and this has a little trick to it.
2) The printing is a bit slow. Not much though.
3) Sometimes when you want to print you get an error saying there is an that it can't find the printer, or that there is a problem with the USB, which is the cable that connects it to the computer.
4) Runs out of ink rather quickly. I don't even print that much. In fact the black ink ran out before the colored one and I print more in color than in black ink. Go figure.
5) Sometimes when you turn it on all the lights on it light up which means there is some sort of internal error, which I fix by turning it off for about a minute and then it's ok again.
6) I almost forgot to tell you that this printer is noisy. It will definitely wake up people.
Overall:
Overall this isn't a bad printer, even though the list of bad qualities is quite larger than the good quality list. It just has those little annoying glitches. It doesn't jam and the print quality is amazing. I don't I would recommended to someone else though. I don't think they would be able to put up with it. I am already use to it.
Recommended:
