Full review
The Epson 760 is a nice colour printer, very capable of excellent photo output, if the user is knowledgeable about printing and colour matching techniques. It has a few problems with print head clogging, which must be actively monitored by the user in order to prevent wasted photo output. However, its necessary print head cleaning routine is very, very annoying, as it is automated to occur during printer startup. The printer uses an automated print head cleaning routine which occurs at printer startup, or can be started manually. I liken this routine to a cat bathing itself with its tongue, as the procedure is quite drawn-out and tedious (4 minutes or so), making the excellent print times the printer is capable of quite moot. The user will find that the printer's print heads are often clogged, and colour output will suffer horribly, creating wasted photo output (an expensive process). The long cleaning routine must then be manually started, and often run several times, before the colour output is back to acceptable levels. Once the printer is properly cleaned and adjusted, the output is excellent - far better than any of the HP models in the same price range.
