  Duration of ownership: 5 Months

  Strengths: good color almost lab quality photo, accept all storage memory cards, nice color lcd screen.

  Weaknesses: Slow print spped

  Overall: I replace my old Epson stylus 820 by the R340 and i'm not desapointed, I use it most of the time for photos, I'm impress by the cartridge it seem to print more then the previous models it take me 4 months of printing a lot of 8'X10' before i change the cartridges. I also like that it support all popular memory cards. For thise who like to print photos this the one. I print several reports and i found it o.k. for text but it slow tl print a full page of text, but all Epson quality photos printer i had have that problem.

  Strengths: Individual cartridges, third party ink, LCD, photo quality, card reader

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall: The biggest plus is the use of indivdual ink cartridges for each color so that when one color runs out, only that color has to be replaced. Many other printers tend to use single cartrdiges with multiple colors which result in having to throw out the entire cartridge when one color runs out. In addition, you can find cheap third party ink that won't cost you much. Lastly, printed photos look great.

  Strengths: Exceptional printing quality on either Epson photo paper or discs, reasonable ink usage, six individual ink cartridges.

  Weaknesses: Epson PrintCD software is very limited with regard to importing graphics and designing disc labels. Sometimes the cd/dvd tray sticks while ejecting (a very minor problem). Low-ink reminder too soon.

  Overall: Overall I would say that this is an excellent printer. I use it primarily for printing onto cds and dvds and am very impressed with the quality. In addition, there are some off-brand ink cartridges which are virtually the same quality as real Epson ink, so using them can save you a bundle if you print a lot, as I do. This is the best photo printer I have owned.

  Strengths: Great crisp colors (both 4x6 and 8x10 prints). run over 120 cd/dvds through it and all printed without no problem and very professional looking "label" on cd/dvds

  Weaknesses: The speed is not that fast.

  Overall: I have owned this printer for a couple of months. It has been working great for me. If you need an all around printer and only do light to medium volumes of printing work, this is a good option.

  Strengths: good quality on different photo papers,

  Weaknesses: sensitive ink cartridge indicator

  Overall: The R340 printer can print very good quality photo on different photo paper brands. I've tried HP, Canon, Fuji, Kodak and staples, results are good and consistent. And unlike those small, portable printers, this one can print not only 4x6 but also any size up to 8.5 inch wide and "unlimited" length. The Epson "bubble" technology gives the photos very good quality at any detail. The ink replacement indicator is sensitive. It asked me to change cartridge before it is totally empty.
