Epson Stylus Photo R300
Epson Stylus Photo R300 By brian campbell (29/07/2006)
- Pros: Cheap to run, excellent quality prints, excellent help line.
- Cons: Conflict issue with MS SP2
I have been using this printer for over a year now and have found it to be very reliable and very cheap to run! This printer has been well used for Photo printing, CD printing and document printing, and has performed beyond my expectations.
The only downside was that when I installed MS SP2 on my computer, there were conflict issues with the print quality, making the picture very dull and no amoun... Read Full Review »

CONSTANT REALIGNMENT
Epson Stylus Photo R300 By Kimberly Nalda (04/04/2006)
- Pros: one of the cheaper color printers
- Cons: malfunctioning after only 1 year, uses too much ink, poor quality pics
After a mere year of owning this product, I find that I am unable to realign the printer heads enough to actually get a quality black ink printed page. I have purchased more than 20 replacement ink cartridges, and go through them very quickly. I do not do much home printing at all. Now, the black ink is no longer in alignment so all my pictures look grainy and no matter how much I re-align the pri... Read Full Review »

Epson R300
Epson Stylus Photo R300 By Anonymous (10/02/2006)
- Pros: Quality Prints
- Cons: Poor Cartridge instalation.
Excellent dpi for outstanding prints on both A4 (Borderless prints) and CDs! One major flaw is the cartridge system. Six seperate ink cartridges are used but installing them into the cartridge bay involves manually breaking the seals to lock them onto the print head. This causes leaking of ink around the sealing onto print surfaces and blocking of print heads. Beware. Read Full Review »

Great cheap to run printer
Epson Stylus Photo R300 By GARY HAWKSWORTH (29/12/2005)
- Pros: Cartridges available from ebay at vey low cost. good quality printing
- Cons: Need a pc to operate properly. Go for the R200
This printer is the cheapest to run that I have come across. Because the ink is seperate from the print head there is no perceivable loss in print quality by using other suppliers ink replacements. It costs me £7 for a full set of replacement inks. Just look on ebay and you will find similar. Read Full Review »
