Epson Stylus® Color 740 InkJet Printer

Pros: none
Cons: Service

Although, I have been using Epson printers for a long time, I have recently been convinced to never buy a printer from Epson again. About three weeks ago I purchased an Epson printer. When the printer arrived it did not work. After dealing with the...

Pros: Great quality text and Graphics
Cons: You have to spring for fancy paper for best results

Brought home the Epson Stylus Color 740 about two weeks ago, and i am extremely satisfied.
Brilliant performance for two hundred bucks, not to mention the fact that they throw in a first supply of ink. That goes for about fifty five dollars alone,...

Pros: Good print quality, ease of use
Cons: avg speed

Having an Imac I needed a printer which was USB compatible. The amazing thing about the 740 is that it has 3 ports, USB, Serial, and a PC port. I bought it because of this and the price and the reports of its good print quality. I have not been...

Pros: Speed, cartridge life, price
Cons: Nanh

I have an epson stylus 740. it is a good printer. excellent speed. good cartridge life and printouts as clear as they can get. Today is the day of supercheap ink jet printers but don't rely on this they break down fast and cartridges finish in a...

Pros: 6 ppm black, 5 ppm color - 1440 x 720 dpi - insanely inexpensive!
Cons: none

I have tried several printers before, but I've stopped looking once the Epson Stylus Color 740i was found. This is great for iMac, Mac, and PC users! It is USB, so you can plug/unplug into your computer without restarting. Right now I believe...

Pros: Color, fast, ease of use
Cons: none

I can't say enough about this printer. You are in the middle of a big print job, intensive color ink use with a load of black inside. What normally happens is the pages start getting lighter or the graphics turn a color not called for. This condition is...

Pros: Great quality when it works right
Cons: Heads clog easily, faulty feed mechanism, poor customer service.

My Epson printer kept getting jammed because it was feeding too many sheets of paper. Had to constantly "baby-sit" it. Then the belt mechanism got stuck on something. It took 3 long distance calls (at my expense) to get my printer replaced. (They wanted...

Pros: Excellent Quality Photos
Cons: A little bit noisey

I owned a few different epson printers and choose to stay with them for my new printer. the 740 provides exceptional print quality for photos. Text is average. Speed and ease of use is great. I've got it running on both my PC and my Macintosh. Setup was...

Pros: great printing quality, reasonable purchase price
Cons: very expensive ink jet cartridges.

The epson 740 gives you crisp very presentable output. The color printing is excellent. However, it is important to put the price into context in terms of the expensive ink jet cartridges. The cartridges last me about a month and at $28.00 a pop this is...

Pros: never breaks
Cons: goes through ink quickly and is very loud

This may be one of the most reliable printers that I've ever used. I have never had a paper jam. However it is not without its flaws. I write a fair amount of work that needs to be printed out, and if I ever finish a paper at one or two in the...

Pros: Great software included!
Cons: Not Much

I got this printer at www.ubid.com! What a good printer for the price. I got it for $111 with shipping and handling. Plus then I got a $50 rebate. It came with some great software. A gift card maker and a photomax pro. It is a pretty fast printer.It is a...

Pros: Fast at times.
Cons: Noisy, uses ink fast, photos aren't the best quality, jams every once in a while.

This printer would be good for people that just bought a computer for the first time. I traded my neighbor for one and I've had it for 2 years. I've been happy with it whenever it was fine, but there was the occasional paper jam. The worst part of this printer was how loud it was when it is printing, turning on, and turning off. If you need this printer for a quiet place or a place where you can only print in the night, when everybody's sleeping, don't buy this printer.
