Epson Stylus Photo RX620 Review

by Paul Jasper

- The $300 Epson Stylus Photo RX620 works wonderfully for photographers, but it isn't well suited to an office environment. Though the unit scanned slides and negatives nicely, and produced beautiful prints on photo paper, the text and graphics output it printed on plain paper were among the worst we saw.

    Strengths: looks cool

    Weaknesses: Just about every thing

    Overall Evaluation: This printer is just what you want if you like to have junk sitting on your shelf. Today I was printing envelopes. Out of 97 envelopes, 46 had sections with blank patches. I might as well do it all by hand. This printer would have been pretty good back in 1900. It double feeds paper all the time. If you try to print front and back--have fun. It might take you 1hr for 20 sheets and 5 wasted pages. No good. Oh and by the way this printer is sloooooooooooooooooooooooww like very, very slow. A Canon may drink ink, but this printer is worse. I bought this over a month ago and haven't used it too much. Just had to change out the black ink tank. My Canon which I sadly got rid of after 3 yrs would go through a tank every 2 months, maybe and that was with constant use. My Canon was getting old and the Photo quality was deteriorating some so I got this epson. I was looking for something that would print better pictures and save on ink. It isn?t even worth printing pictures with. The pictures take about a day to dry and the quality isn?t near good.NEVER BUY AN EPSON

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Excellent photo quality, when used with photo paper. Decent scans of negatives. Speed is fine for low-medium volume use. Good looking & compact.

    Weaknesses: Can only scan slides & 35mm negatives- nothing larger. Has trouble feeding single sheets of standard paper. Cable not included. Scan resolution could be higher.

    Overall Evaluation: This AIO is perfect for a home/small office user who has no faxing needs. The quality of the photos is outstanding for the price. You can also use Kodak's photo paper (cheaper) for the same results as Epson's paper. The unit is well-designed & fits easily into most areas. However, you load the paper from the back, so you'll want to place it somewhere that you can regularly access it. I compared this to Epson's RX700 & Canon's MP800; for the price after rebates, this was the best deal/feature set in the AIO market.
