time. I almost threw out the printer but then noticed slight wear marks on the bottom of the CD tray and it was very smooth. I slightly wet a rag with MEK [ Methyl Ethyl Keytone ] available from Home Depot and wiped the bottom of the tray to create a fresh surface for the rollers to work against and now everything is perfect again. Great little printer and I would buy another.

that wal mart prints out for around 10 cents each. One of the big problems with this is the way the system works. First you can not print with any cartridge empty. Second the printer uses ink out of all the cartridges all the time. Every time it cleans itself it uses ink. Every time it starts is uses ink. This means that if you use the cartridges down below a quarter tank they will rapidly just keep depleting. Then what happens is you get some light areas on a print and that forces you to clean the nozzles. Unfortunately the cleaning blows out the ink and then it just refuses to clean or work. So picture that you have three cartridges that you let get low. They are color and you think "Ok, I will wait for my tax refund to replace them, and only print out black stuff". Wrong! You will never make it! They just keep getting lower, and then it will refuse to clean the nozzles. At that point you have to buy the cartridges, even when the software shows the cartridges still have ink in them. You know you could have printed for another month with some of the color ones on low, but the printer will not let you do that. It will demand to be cleaned and the cartridges are too low for a cleaning.
If you buy this, plan on having a couple of sets of cartridges on hand at all times. Three extra sets will only set you back about 280 bucks. But remember the printer was a steal at $100.

that is true. The initial cartridges will dry up about as soon as you hit the power button. I was irate on my first printer as to how fast the initial cartridges dried up. EPSON could care less when I called to complain about this, trying to say it was this, or that. I even saw a forum that someone supposedly got them to send out new sets of ink when they complained, but I couldnt get them to budge. SO, be prepared to spend about $100 for the printer, and another $119 for the ink. Silly I know, but you have to factor it in.

Once that is said and done, this printer is awesome at printing and CD printing. The quality is top notch. I have used other photo paper for 4x6 prints (JetPrint Professional Photo Paper) with great results. Dont expect that you can only print on EPSON paper to get them looking fine, but also, keep in mind, the "100 year ink" idea they promote for these inks is really only meant for the EPSON papers. Outside of that, you could get fades faster on other papers.

Hope this helps.

the other issues that come with a Ink jet printer. IE it must be used on a regular basis or the print head will clog.

more. But from my experience, all the colors deplete at the same rate and from other user's experiences, you can't just replace one if others 'say' they are low, so you will be forced to buy all 6 again when I am sure there is plenty of ink left in the cartridge when it says it is 'empty'.

cartridge. The R220 was no prize, you had to push the DVD tray in as the feed mechanism started, but once it started printing, the unit was fast. The R380 is slow as molasses.

The LCD display on the R380 looks nice, but it is virtually worthless, since most users will print using their computers.

In Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain writes of the shows two characters, the Duke and the Dauphin, who put on terrible travelling shows in the countryside. They explain it to Huck that the first night's audience will realize they have been "sold," but this audience won't admit how bad the show was to their neighbors, they will tell them to go the next night. That way, the first nighters can't be laughed at by the second nighters. The Duke says that all the townspeople then plan to bring tomatoes and such and plaster the performers on the third night. Only the Duke and the Dauphin will be gone by then, skipping out because they know human psychology.

Epson is counting on that same psychology, figuring many reviewers will not blast their printers since it will indicate those reviewers were "sold." Everyone knows that Epsons are ink hogs. But Epson inks tend to clog the Epson ink jets (that happened with my Epson R200) and Epson technology seems to be going in reverse. For all its faults, that R220 was great at printing DVD covers and its allignment stayed the same when I sent a DVD through a second time. The R380 lacks that precision allignment. I do not recommend buying the Epson R380.
