Inexpensive little workhorse by 2cute "2b2" on amazon.com May 5, 2012
I just love this little printer. It does a much nicer job that I needed it to; when I need another printer for my office, this is the one. I purchased it for the kids' study, and have it on a continuous ink system to save costs. It was cheap enough ...
 
Top Value by frank on newegg.com May 30, 2012
I had to re-install the print cartridges to get the machine to run. No big deal, just make sure you push the cartridges all the way in.
 
GOOD PRINTER by NYpet on bhphotovideo.com Jan 15, 2012
I print only photos, the only problem I have is the noise when it starts but this is common on most printers, BEST AND UNBELIEVABLE SERVICE BELONGS TO B&H, and if I give 5 stars on printer I ALSO GIVE 10 STARS TO B&H. Take a note, buy a full capacity ...

Good printer for the price by JP on apple.com Feb 19, 2011
Light use for almost one year. Excellent photo prints in highest quality print mode on good quality photo paper. Consistent banding with other modes when printing photos. Text printing is quite good for this grade of printer. Never had a paper misfeed ...
 
Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper Letter 50 Sheets by seymouru on pricegrabber.com Sep 8, 2004
I've been using this paper for over a year and it's outstanding. The colors are breathtaking with my Epson Stylus Photo 960. I use these more than my 4x6 snapshot paper since the effect is so nice. The texture also helps prevent fingerprints which are always a problem with glossy paper.

Ink issue by William Viviani on amazon.com Jun 22, 2012
I did not buy this from Amazon, but I buy a lot of products on Amazon and want to warn customers. You will waste so much ink on this product. Even if there is some ink left in the cartridge, the printer will tell your computer that the ink is out and ...
 
Evil by Gina on bhphotovideo.com Dec 8, 2011
When I move the paper guide to the slot for labelling cd's, I'll often have both red lights come on, signalling an error. There is no fix for this, and being in the video production business, trying to label dvd's, this is SO aggravating. I will have ...
 
avoid by MS on apple.com Mar 5, 2011
I bought it to print some photos...and the printing is unacceptable when using photographic paper. It's great for minor prints or printing receipts on regular paper but where the problem happens is when you want high quality output. The printer leaves ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Epson Artisan 50 Color Inkjet Printer (C11CA45201)
We have purchase over 200 of these printers (even here at Amazon) and they are pretty good - until you run out of ink...Keep in mind this printer has gotten fairy good reviews the past year - some individuals are being successful with the printer but we suspect many reviews were written before their 1st ink cycle went dry...Overall, Epson has made this printer so INK CARTRIDGE RESTRICTIVE that it has made us impossible to recommend to anyone or even give out for free...

Epson Photographic Paper (Pack of 50) | Overstock.com
For Epson 3800 and 4800 photo printers use a different printer driver than you would for any of the 5 star epson matte papers...Getting the colors correct with Photoshop managing was frustrating with this paper, WAY easier to use colorsync and let the printer decide for the 3800, 4800 and also on the CanonPixma 540 (though that printer does a lot better with luster and and glossy papers than with matte...Great value for the price so loosing a few sheets to test printing isn't the end of the world...

I highly recommend this paper, especially if your pictures are going to be handled over and over again by various people because you never know if someone with wet, clammy hands is going to touch your print...Bottom line is, it's a very cost-effective option for the price-conscious photo enthusuiast...I have four printers......believe it or not......and I have come to the conclusion that the model of the printer is not really the determining factor when printing out quality photos, but rather the paper quality...
