Printers & Scanners - Product Reviews

gatorrock - (June 01, 2004) I have been using this printer in my genetics lab for over 2 months now and can say this is the best printer I've seen at a consumer level. The print quality of this machine is hard to beat. We print pictures of cell organelles to full people on this printer, using 2 megapixel microscope cameras up to the 13.89 megapixel Kodak DNS camera- the print quality never fails to impress. And when we use the high gloss photo paper, you would think we sent it to a photo lab. This printer is not without faults mind you, it does have a nasty habit of setting itself as the default printer. So you have to check that setting pretty often (but this maybe be a network issue). It also has it's own

mlmckenzie - (September 06, 2004) When they say this printer makes photo-lab quality prints, they're not kidding. I've been amazed by the printouts. People I've shown them to cannot believe that it was from a digital camera (I use a 5 mega-pixel camera) and printed at home rather than the traditional film camera and photo lab processing. The prints come out sharp. The coating on the photos is nice and clear. The coating doesn't hold fingerprints when you touch the photo, which makes handling them pretty carefree. The thumbnail feature is nice, even when you're printing from a computer. My only disappointment is that they say on the box that you can print wallet-size prints. The driver for Windows XP only allows you t

princedavis - (August 29, 2006) I have been using this printer for the past 6 months or so, and I have mixed feelings. It is easy to set up and install, but it is somewhat slow to boot (the HP this printer replaced was ready in a few seconds -- the MP830 takes about a minute to boot up). Once you get the printer set up and begin printing text and photos, it is easy to see why this printer has been so well reviewed. Text is sharp and photos on Canon's photo paper are virtually perfect. The unit also has duplex copying/scanning/printing. When it comes to features and print quality, this unit is most definitely 5 stars, however there a few issues with this printer that greatly restrict its utility. For one, the unit is

LMD1 - (04/06/2012) ADF seems to work well with standard copier paper.FAX's, copies, scans & prints - doesn't make coffee.Given the type of paper which I am using, printed photo's are quite exceptable.I find it quite amazing that one could purchase this machine for $220.00 with FREE shipping.

lezliew - (02/12/2012) Ink did not come in original Epson packaging box as shown when purchasing.Cartridge came in shrink wrap, with mostly Asian writing, a small section with another language, and a small section with English. Also says "MARK FOR CHINA ONLY" & "MARK FOR JAPAN ONLY"not sure what that means

jmiller261 - (01/09/2012) This is without question the worst printer I have ever bought. It promised everything, but delivers little. It is incredibly slow. Every ten minutes it wants to align the cartridges, but the alignment always fails if I allow it to continue. It sometimes loses track of printing and stops in the middle of a document. The solution is to reboot the entire system. I will never ever again buy another printer from HP!
