User Reviews for Epson Stlyus R220 Photo Inkjet Printer (15PPM, 5760x1440 DPI, Color, PC/Mac)

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Very nice photo quality! Nice text and Graphics!

Weaknesses: Uses ink fairly quick.

Overall Evaluation: This printer is worth the money, depsite the negative comments you have read. I love the text and graphics the printer prints. I make a lot of greeting cards and I love the quality. My pictures I print are very very nice. I am happy with the details. The downside of this printer, and other Epson printers I've owned, such as the R200, after heavy use in a 9 to 12 months time, the printer gives an error message stating that a part will expire soon and that is not good. It is usualy the soak sponge for the jets.My R220 just died today and I just ordered the R260. I hope it doesn't use that much ink like I've read.I have an all in one Epson Cx3810 and I like the scan quality. The text is pretty nice too.EPson makes a great printer, I just wish the ink would be less expensive and have to replace less often, but I guess it depends how much you use it too. I give the R220 a 8.75! Almost a 9. ps...You can get great ink from oneink on ebay for 1/2 the price and that includes shipping!

Strengths: Cheap when you buy it.

Weaknesses: Slow as hell, buying 5 different color cartidges costs $70

Overall Evaluation: Seemed a good buy when purchased for $100 at BestBuy, but the old rule of you get what you paid for still applies.The photo quality is good, but when the colored ink runs out, you have to shell $70 for all of the 5 different color cartidges!Until you do so, the printer won't print, even in black and white mode. The annoying epson utility will keep flashing reminding you to buy more ink and spend more money.In comparison, the color cartidge for HP comes in ONE unit, not 5, and costs $40 top, not $70.This is the last Epson product I buy.
