This little, inexpensive printer simply makes...

Pros: picture quality, cheap price
Cons: loud and slow startup, ink consumption. low ink life

I've always liked the quality of the hardcopy from Epson Printers, all the way back to the original Stylus color printers. They have always been competitive and the black only output has almost always been short of amazing. The 780 has not disappointed...

Pros: Great paper handling, AMAZING photo quality, cheap printer and carts
Cons: As others said, slow to start and noisy.

I made the decision to buy a Epson Stylus Photo 780 after reading several reviews off the net, especially Steve's reviews at http://www.steves-digicams.com/2001_reviews/epson780.html . I wanted a printer especially for photos printing as well as...

Pros: Tech support tried
Cons: Drinks ink, noisy, actually "walks" on the desk from the shaking. Terrible photo printing.

Cons: Slow, very noisy, cheap construction, short ink life, better can be had for much less

First of all, it is NOISY. Modern printers have no excuse to be this noisy. Because of this noise,...

Pros: Fantastic Quality Prints
Cons: Noisy, slow, only works well on Epson paper, sucks ink like no tomorrow.

I'm what you would call a Macintosh Power User. I use my computer all the time, and one of my hobbies is digital photography. For this purpose, I have upgraded from an Epson 600 to the Epson 780. My intent was to stick with the great quality...

Pros: Great prints.
Cons: Ink handling, overall cost.

It's inexpensive to start with, but the costs mount quickly. The printer makes great borderless prints, but: * The heads clog if the printer sits for more than a few days, and you have to clean all six colors at once (wasting ink on all six ...

Pros: None that I can think of
Cons: Ink dries up fast, paper jams, Win XP problems, many print errors

Pros: Fabulous photos, fantastic price

I like the quality of the printer when used for high resolution printing esp. on photo paper. It is good on print as well.
