this printer works perfect? maybe i got a good one, i don't know. i've never had paper jams, but i keep it about half-way full at all times. i've never had an ink issue, but then again, i always print only what i need, never an entire email to get a small coupon. i've never had the printer NOT print on the network...after going through the long set-up process of it running everything through the discs, it's been perfect! i've never had issues with ink smearing or the scanner not working. maybe i was lucky with mine, but i've always bought an epson. well, all 3 of my printers in the last 15 years were epson...and i only bought new ones because i had more needs, not because the printer failed. i will always stick with epson and i LOVE my artisan 800 printer.
I read the reviews, and admit I was hesitant. But after research, I took the dive, and I'm glad I did! I've had this printer a month, not one paper jam, and ink usage is far from excessive. (After all, it has to fill the ribbons with ink for the first time, so sure, the ink will go fast at first! Common sense!) The print quality is suburb, and scanning and copying is unbelievable. It only took a few minutes to set up. This is the second Epson printer, (first was a R220), and as a professional photographer, I will stand by this printer any time!
I bought this printer on Feb 13, 2009 to replace an RX580. (The 580 no longer printer correctly and was 1 week out of warranty.) I was a little hesitant due to the initial reviews I read, but I decided to take a chance anyways. I have used this printer to print photos and over 1000 CDs for my company. I have NEVER had an issues with the printer or print quality. The WiFi has never dropped or failed. I have had this printer running under 32-bit Vista and 64-bit Windows 7, and it has ran great with both operating systems. After reading some of the other reviews, it is true that you may run across a bad product here and there, but from my experience, this is a GREAT product.
I purchased the Artisan 800 HD a few months ago. It has had enough time of use, to be placed in review.Everything works just as described,from the photos, using a memory card or direct printing from a camera or the good old USB device it all works as one,with amazing clarity and quality of color, and from envelops to scanning,to printing ,it does a tremendous job.I use the auto document tool frequantly and have always had success.Commands from the printer to the computer and commands from the computer to the printer have never been an easier procedure.Ink consumtion has been at a minimum.This unit was designed to turn out an excellant ,finished product. If one wants just an ordinary plain printer,look else where in the Eposn catalouge and I am sure you will find the piece of equipment that should remedy your sistuatuion.If unsure give the company a call,they are great problem solvers.
OK, I have seen the reviews on here, and I am disappointed in those that have had issues. The main thing to remember is there are many reasons these kinds of failures happen. One main reason is failure to clean the printer regularly, and also not using it regularly. If the printer has to start up and detects it has been a long while since its last restart, it will run a purge and that consumes ink. There is no other way around this as it needs to make sure the nozzles are working. As for slow, this depends on the hookup. My printer is in WIRELESS mode, and it works great. I have a multi-computer environment running Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. My only disappointment is I can't run Windows 98 drivers for my very old units, as they don't exist. I recommend this printer without hesitation. The person who was having the document feeder issue should make sure the top feed head is closed and locked. It is likely this is popping loose and causing feed problems. It may also just need to be cleaned a bit. This top is designed to open to removed jammed documents, and can sometimes be hard to close. My CX9400Fax had the same issue, cleaned it, and it now works fine. I gave it to my nephew when I got the Artisan 800. I have the new doc duplexer now for this unit (standard on the 810 now). I tested it and it works great. I can't wait to make greeting cards with it.
I love the printer and the printed pages. I dont like that the ink is soooo expensive for this printer and seems to run out very quickly. I also noticed that every other brand of paper is on sale occaisonally except for Epson. You have to use Epson paper for the prints to turn out good and its never on sale. So although I love the printer it is the most expensive printer I have ever owned and if I had to do it over again I would buy a different brand
Only for use on photo paper. if you use any other format of paper or any other kind of media, printer gets stuck and the headache starts, you have to open a paper loader and place only one paper to accept any other media except photo paper. If you have smaller format photo paper and its loaded together with large format paper it will for some reason drag a paper form upper tray first and then you have to reprint. alignment is difficult and i get stripes along the whole page if it prints on regular paper. Nice for quick print of family photos but anything "Artisan" its 0
I have own this printer for about 6 months. I have used it with pleasure until I got a big job to do and needed to use the auto document feeder, and this is when my nightmare began. I was using plain paper and I completed ten 25 page booklets. After that its been a battle. I'm on a time line and I could not get the work out. I've tried changing the paper thickness, paper type, and nothing seems to work. Before this I rant and raved about my printer, but the paper jams are enormous and I would not wish this on any friend of mind. Help!!! What can I do about the paper jams, I love the unit but the paper jams have got to go.
If the ink heads need cleaning for best quality, which is often if not used frequently, you can waste as much ink cleaning as you would printing many pages. Sad, because the ink cost a lot of money and will not produce much output under such conditions. Epson has offered excellent support in supplying more ink and offering suggestions on how to conserve ink. However, in the end, it is very expensive to use this printer.
The photo and regular prints are very good after the three or more attempts to get the paper to feed 1 and only 1 page per intended print. A typical example is todays attempt to print a 8.5 / 11 of verbiage. The first attempt printed the page over three pieces of paper = trash, the second printed over 2 pieces of paper = trash. Trying to print multiple pages never prints as intended. But the print is very clear on the paper and ink I'm throwing away.
