Superb printer
Epson Stylus Photo R285 Printer With Individual Ink Cartridges
Brilliant! Arrived within 3 days, set up with no trouble, software loaded on Vista perfectly. Borderless prints are stunning, disc printing and manual duplex work fine and draft prints are very fast and usable. I am very impressed.

also so unhappy with Epson
Wished I had paid more attention to the unfavourable reviews which I had read. My epson printer arrived and I followed the instructions only to find the print head would not move so I could not load the inks and could not use the printer. Went back to the reviews to find this a commom problem. I decided to return the printer and ask for a refund, but in order to do this I was instructed to print the label, but could not do this without a printer. I forwarded instructions on to a neighbour who printed out the labels for me.
I now have a Canon Pixma ,reccomemded by Which magazine. Found it difficult but not impossible to install, and am now very satisfied with it.

The Stylus just aint what it used to be.
I have used Epson printers for over 12 years replacing them regularly every year or two (they really don't like compatable inks do they) All have been superb though even though until my old R200 gave up the ghost. I have had nothing but trouble from every model I have owned since then. They jam up they print far to darkly and compatable inks fail all the time in them. I won't be buying another Epson product.

A superpb bit of kit
There are many mixed feelings about this printer, however, I have installed it without any problems and it works a treat. Do not be put off by any poor reviews this is a decent bit of kit.

Poor Build Quality
Slow, noisy and expensive to run, sum up this printer. Slow because it takes an age to power up, noisy (self-explanatory) and expensive to run, uses six ink cartridges. Unfortunately this printer is built down to a price rather than up to a standard. Beware!
