Epson Stylus Photo R285 Reviews: Epson Photos Colour Inkjet Printer

+ Excellent print quality,

- Ink runs out quickly, tried to use compatables but get error message,"incompatable cartridge", originals too expensive. Anybody want to buy a printer that will cost £30 month to use?

+ A really good all round printer. Print quality is excellent. Printing is very fast for an inkjet.

- Ink is expensive, even with the separate tanks. Plus it never uses the whole tank, thanks to the chips fitted to each cartridge.

+ Speed of printing and picture printing quality

- Epson keep changing styles of cratridges and can not use those epurcahsed for earlier Epson printer

+ Very good colour saturation, it picked up all the hues in my sunset pictures very well indeed...but you do need to use Epson paper!

- None that I have found as yet apart from if you need to print a picture, it can take a few minutes, but hey, thats the price you need to be willing pay for the finished result, which is excellent.

- Driver issues with vista.
Print tray design is poor.
Eats ink!

+ Excellent print quality especially photo prints. Also prints directly on CD's/ DVD's. Fast when it has finished primeing the cartridges.Genuine cartriges are not overly expensive.

+ Good clear print quality,can use compatible cardridges with no problems

- None to date

+ The product is quite fast and the print quality is certainly very good. It is almost idiot proof and changing ink cartridges is very easy.

- I cannot find any bad points; not evenany little niggles

+ Works ine with Windows Vista, and even though I had read that the status monitor wouldn't work, it works perfectly fine.

- I have no complaints about this printer, and consider it to be excellent value for money.

+ Epson quality at an affordable price.. Needed a printer to print service CD / DVD and this one does a good job

- As always.. costs of original brand replacement inks

+ Very clear good quality images

- Its very thirsty when printing quality photo's

+ Good photo quality/ OK on DVD as well. Reasonably easy to use.

- Bit noisy

+ A really fast printer, quality is good. The CD/DVD printer feature is way above of quality to what I was expecting. Does work with Epson compatible printer cartridges so you can keep the cost down if you print a lot.

- Though had a bit of a fight to get the printer working initally. The lack of a card reader is a slight let down, as you`ll need a computer to print those precious memories.
