good printer2008-06-18
poor seller packaging and came dirty, but workes, so I'm satisfied, could have been damaged because of lack of bubble wrap in shipping
avoid like the plague2007-12-13
I've not had a decent print from the printer, but at least it uses ink quickly, dries it out quickly, and requires a full color ink cartridge when you only want to print in black and white...nice design epson, guess I should have stuck with canon (like my camera).
Nice quality prints, BUT DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY2007-03-13
I'm going to be pretty brief on this one - I've owned this printer for good few years, and got plenty of good use out it - wow I'm being so fair to it it's not funny - I have finally reached the point where my patience with it clearly run out.

Why the headache? Simple - one word - inks. This stupid machine defines the word "unreliable" when it comes to inks, or more likely the print heads. It will GUARANTEED screw your print just when you need it most, cause you need to clean your heads, and once you start it literally takes AT LEAST 10 cleaning cycles to actually get anywhere near clean. Many times just the cleaning of it would kill the rest of the ink in the cartridge, so you waist more time and money.

I used to love Epson brand and how far they've come from the dot matrix days, but I think I'm permanently switching to Canon now. That's just sad.

A short-term solution.2007-02-17
I bought this model as a photo printer.
This printer worked great. That is,until it quit working altogether after 3 months.
I subsequently found co-workers that had the same experience with this particular printer.
This is a cheaply priced printer and I think the title of this review acuurately sums up this printer. Or,you get what you pay for.
Absolute trash.2007-02-17
This printer is a piece of garbage. If you don't print constantly from it, you will have to clean the heads every time you use it. 85% of the ink I have burned in this little nightmare has been from running cleanings on it. I am running to the office supply store pretty much every time I have to use it because it's out of ink, even though I'd barely used it since the last time I dropped a bunch of cash on a stupid ink cartidge. Junk. Also: the software for the printer won't let you run a head cleaning if there's no colored ink left, even if you've got enough black ink to print 200 pages. In that scenario, you have to go buy a colored ink cartridge just to make the stupid machine work to print black and white word documents. This thing sucks so much that it's making me irate just thinking about it.

A Quick Look At the Professional Digital Camcorder
Introduction Professional digital camcorders are better than your analog camcorder, or even your digital video camera. The advancements that have been made in the camcorder industry are amazing. Just like everything else they keep getting more and more advanced, and shrinking in size. Even though we have seen much advancement, the price keeps getting more and more affordable. Professionals are not the only ones who can now enjoy the wonderful benefits of a professional -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A professional digital camcorder allows creativity and quality to meet, and the cost is far lower than it was only a few years ago. Even in the late 1990's most professionals were using Betamax professional quality analog recorders, though the professional digital camcorder was starting to come into its own back then. In 1997 at a press conference in Roswell, New Mexico during the 50th anniversary of the historic alleged UFO crash ...
Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
