Epson Sytlus Photo 780; AVOID!!!

by thesman , Oct 10 '02
Pros: Picture quality is excellent when working properly. OSX compatible.
Cons: Clogs , consumes ink, lousy quality construction, frequent paper jams.
I was a proud owner of an Espon Color Stylus 600 that provided me with excellent quality prints and a high reliability in its day. Based on that and a bevy of rave reviews by magazines like MacAddict and MacWorld I thought that the $99.00 Epson Stylus...

Not worth taking out of the box.

by fivetrick , Feb 16 '03
Pros: None to speak of.
Cons: Paper jams frequently, drinks ink like water, ink clogs often, print quality only tolerable.
I've had this printer for almost 6 months; the reason I bought i was because ink for my deskjet was going to cost as much as this printer did, and now I know why.

I've used epsons before, and while they can be a pain, this one takes the...

Avoid at all cost

by jhahn52 , Dec 21 '04
Pros: Tech support tried
Cons: Drinks ink, noisy, actually "walks" on the desk from the shaking. Terrible photo printing.
I bought this 780 printer new and for the first couple of weeks it printed well, but then it needed head cleaning due to streaky pictures. It just about sucked the ink cartridges dry doing that! I had already bought extra cartridges and found myself ...

Not Worth The Price Of A Refill

by brxndxn , Nov 04 '01
Pros: Borderless, durable ink, USB & parallel, easy setup, on-screen ink monitor, decent photos
Cons: Slow, very noisy, cheap construction, short ink life, better can be had for much less
I received this printer from Epson after I returned my Epson 777 and negotiated a deal. Basically, it has the same problems of the Epson 777.

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

Cheap Quality

by infrequent , Feb 16 '02
Pros: Clear edge to edge printing. Ink doesn't smear with hi-lighter.
Cons: Very cheap construction. Expensive Ink.
This printer has excellent printing capabilities that rival actual photos. It also prints without any margins. Unfortunately, the paper loading mechanism broke shortly after replacing the first set of ink cartridges. The printer is extremely noisy and...

Don't buy this printer! this is an INK HOG!

by glanglitz , Sep 21 '06
Pros: None that I can think of
Cons: Ink dries up fast, paper jams, Win XP problems, many print errors
I have had the Epson Stylus Photo 780 for about 2 years now - new, retail. It worked great the first 9 months. I did not print much after that out of frustration with the print jams and print errors. I wasted more photo paper with this thing using...

You pay for this printer in time wasted

by brycenn , Aug 05 '06
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 ...

Epson Stylus Photo 780

by TrekBody , May 06 '02
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: Superb photo print quality on Epson's glossy paper; inexpensive
Cons: Jams with specialty paper; uses ink quickly; just average for text
I'm not going to explain all the details of the Epson Stylus Photo 780 printer, as that has been done very well by other reviewers. This will just be about some of my experience with this printer.

This little, inexpensive printer simply makes...

Get what you pay for

by ekargy , Jun 19 '02
Pros: Excellent Photo Quality
Cons: Drinks ink, clogs easily
I read several reviews on this printer (unfortunately, not the ones on epinion) that said it was the best among the low price photo quality printers. It certainly has amazing photo quality, but I have struggled from the time I received the printer with...

Nice pics. but ink is a money pit

by Derwolf , May 13 '02
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 picture quality, 6 color inks, border free printing
Cons: loud, slow, drinks ink
I really like this printer. I get very clear and very realistic prints that are just about identical to real photos from photo labs.

This printer is dirt cheap! You get amazing quality for a great price. However, it does not come without...

I love mine

by hastingr , Nov 18 '02
Pros: Fabulous photos, fantastic price
Cons: noisy, drinks ink, jams easily
I selected this model after comparing the output of this printer with the output of some much more expensive printers, both HP and Epson. I already have a Laser and another (older) inkjet printer that I use for daily prit jobs, so I use the Epson...
