Epson Photo R285 printer

Advantages: excellent all round while working
Disadvantages: Subject to ink problems but Ok with insurance

...The Epson Sylus Photo R285 is an excellent printer while it is working. In 12 months I have had two of these printers and both have have had the same fault, that being the sudden inability to recognise full ink cartridges and mule like refusing to budge in any direction.This problem occurs about 2-3 months into its use and seems to be brought on by changing one cartridge. Technical support recognise that there is a fault with apparently no remedy. Fortunately i took out a 3 year guarantee with this and PC World have change the printer. An excellent printer but I would recommend any purchaser to take out an insurance. I am going back for a third but I think this might be the last if the fault occurs again!...

Review of Epson Stylus Photo R285

Great Printer!

Advantages: Perfect CD printing, Photo paper printing and normal paper printer quality!
Disadvantages: Large in size and has a few problems in CD printing (as explained in main review)

...Having seen some negative reviews about this printer on amazon, yet still being desperate for a printer that prints on CD's as well as has CISS system available for it (CISS systems reduce printing costs by attatching an ink system onto the printer). I still bought it because it was the only one available for my needs. Setting up the printer with the CISS system took me at least an hour, however once everything was set up, it was perfect for printing on CDs. The ink being not even geniune Epson Ink, was perfect and high quality. The problems that i had was after i set everything up, and was about to test print my first few CDs, the printer said something was blocking the printer head. I had to restart the printer several times, and restart the computer 2 times to get it back to working/printing condition. What i learned was...

A Sony Digital Photo Frame Review

Advantages: Good if you have a lot of pictures on your computer.
Disadvantages: There is always something moving in the corner of your eye.

...I bought this digital photo frame for my eldest daughter as the sales assisstant in the shop said it is ideal for people with a lot of pictures and as she is leaving school soon she will have a lot of photos lying on the computer. This gift is ideal for people is their computer it full up with holiday pictures etc. It is a regular photo frame size, which is ideal. The picture quality is fantastic, however this depends on the quality of the camera you took the photo on in the first place. It is good that you can change the picture often by uploading new photos onto it (instructions make this very easy). You can choose which pictures you wish to view and how the transition of the photos occurs. The only down side is that if the photo is small then it doesn't stretch to the edges of the frame....

Epson Stylus Photo R285...Great Product

Advantages: Price, Quality, ease of use, gives you more control over pictures
Disadvantages: If just just want to print normal photos, still cheaper to use a photo shop

...As christmas presents go, here is one that I was definitely very pleased with, up until now I have only had a basic printer which I got a good 4-5 years ago, and obviously needed an upgrade! I have always been fond of Epson products, even though my old printer was old as I stated, I had never had any problems with it, which compared to some friends is a big plus, so when I was looking at getting a new (preferably) photo printer, I had decided on an Epson! Thankfully my partner had been listening to me when I had been dropping hints, and already, even though Ive only had it since christmas I have been extremly pleased with the quality and speed of the printer. You have to be a bit careful when getting a product like a printer, that you use the right ink cartridges and obviously if you want the best result you have to invest in...

Dell photo printer 720

Advantages: Size, cheap
Disadvantages: Paper intake, expensive cartridges, slow

...I bought this Dell printer several months ago when my old printer broke down. I have never really needed to print much (only the occasional essay or B-day card), so I decided to go for this cheap Dell 720 photo printer. I looked for the cheapest printer I could find and I believe this one cost between £30-35 on the Dell website. I have just checked on the website and I don’t think they even sell this version anymore. A newer version the ‘Dell 725’ has replaced the 720 and is now the cheapest model that Dell sells in the UK (at £35). I ordered the printer on the website and everything from payment to delivery went very smooth (as you might expect from such a big company). IN THE BOX: The Dell photo printer 720 2 Inkcartridges: 1 Black Standard Capacity Cartridge and 1 Tri- color Standard Capacity Cartridge (Cyan...

Review of Dell Colour Printer 720**- Affordable Inkjet Solution

Truly amazing Photo Printer

Advantages: Outstanding Picture quality, 8 seperate ink tanks, CD Print
Disadvantages: Expensive, slightly larger than the standard desktop printer

...Obviously as a range topping printer, you'd expect the print quality to be that little bit special - and this printer doesn't dissapoint. With 8 seperate ink tanks, including a dedicated Gloss optimizer for high standard prints, the results are truly inspiring, with an updated Epson design, which still shows the family traits from previous models (Have an Epson Photo 900 as well) With the latest Epson Photoquicker software, print options can be accessed with ease, giving a full range of options to optimize Digital stills, remove red eye, and auto balance light (Just don't expect Adobe Photoshop type utilities). All current sizes of photo paper are installed in easy to use templates, which means a much reduced time from photo selection to print. The CD print utility and software are equally easy to use. With the right type of printable...

Review of Epson Stylus Photo R800

Great photo printer

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...Looking for a reliable - reasonably priced photo printer,then look no further. I was in the market for a new printer as had new digital camera and wanted a better quality printer as my previous epson was slightly dated and on its last legs. Having looked around various outlets decided that I liked the look of this one. What can this printer do - well apart from the normal prints from word, excel etc you can also print your photos. You do not need any connection cable from yourcamera to your computer,so if you are a bit short on USB ports this is for you. Your memory card can be inserted direcly into the printer and the printer actually reads the memory card faster than if you had plugges in your camera. The printer also has a small display so you can actually see a preview of your photos, this is quite small...

Review of Epson Stylus Photo R320

Excellent Photo Printer

Advantages: Compact, portable, wireless, preview screen, easy to use.
Disadvantages: None really, but make sure you dont overpay, £140 is a good price.

...After having and using this quality printer throughout the last year or so i have found that this was well worth the money and i have been very happy. The HP PhotoSmart 385 is quite compact and very portable as it can be used wireless through USB and bluetooth connections. Its speed is ok but this is to be expected with a quality colour photo printer. The preview screen is the best feature of this printer allowing you to view before you print. This photo printer also includes 32 MB of RAM so some of your photos can be stored for printing in the future. When bought the printer comes with 1 7ml ink cartidge and if you enjoy printing your photos don't forget to include prices replacement cartidges and printing paper when deciding whether to buy or not. With prices starting at £139.46 this is a good buy and you wont be...

Review of HP PhotoSmart 385

Excellent Quality Photo Printer

Advantages: Quality / Speed / Quiet / Value for Money
Disadvantages: None so far

...I bought my new Epson R300 to go with my new digital camera (see my other review!) as normally I would send my digital photos to an online company to be printed. Having seen a demonstration in John Lewis and reading the impressive spec on Epson’s website I decided that I would order one. Anyway, on to the printer…. FEATURES - Print up to 5760 dpi - Borderless printing so that you can print right up to the edge of the paper meaning that you don’t have to worry about cutting the paper to size or tearing off perforations - Print directly from memory card or a compatible camera - Windows & Mac compatible - Uses 6 separate colour ink cartridges – this is good as it means that the printer can more closely match the colours in the photo. It also means that ink is cheaper as you only replace the one colour that has run out. IN...

Review of Epson Stylus Photo R300

Fast, easy person photo printing

Advantages: Good value, good quality photos
Disadvantages: A little bit noisy

...My father won this photo printer in a New Year dinner prize draw earlier this year, together with a Sony digital camera. Being the wonderful dad he is, he gave them as a gift to me and my husband so that we could take some great photo memories. Our version is not black - its the white one. The printer also came with a 'print pack', which contains print cartridges and photo paper. Each cartridge gives 40 photos. We had a lot of photos from our honeymoon and other lovely times since we'd been together, and having this little printer is perfect for lazy people like us that don't want to make the trip to the local photo shop! This is a very convenient solution for printing out those precious holiday snaps, at a very high level of quality - make yourself a cup of tea and discuss with family whilst sorting through photo collections...
