Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The Epson Stylus Color 1160 ink-jet printer is a handy tool for extra-wide presentations, spreadsheets, photos, and bigger CAD/CAM drawings. It's highly flexible, supporting images with fields of up to 13 by 44 inches.
The 1160 is long rather than deep, a necessity for printing large images and a useful design if your peripherals live on a shallow shelf or cabinet. With impressively sturdy construction, the 1160 is a snap to set up. Plug it in, load the software and two ink cartridges, then print. If you have little experience with printer setup and need assistance, we suggest tossing out the poster-size instructions and referring instead to the helpful user's guide, which is supplemented by an electronic reference guide.
With high 1,440 x 720 dpi resolution and a four-color ink-jet system, you'll produce crisp, clear images. Four-picoliter ink droplets compose the fine lines and detailing of your work. Epson combines Micro Piezo ink-jet technology with AcuPhoto halftones to bring out natural skin tones with smooth gradations. An added value is the truly fast printing speeds--up to 9.5 ppm for black and up to 7 ppm in color on regular paper sizes. (Expect slower speeds for large projects.) We appreciated the rapid drying time for inks, which reduced smudging.
A bigger paper tray would have been useful for major projects, but the paper guide slides easily to accommodate envelopes and 4-by-6-inch photo paper. The page-output trays are built into an ingenious door that closes securely when not in use. Slide-out extensions support larger paper sizes.
Overall we found this machine perfectly suitable for a busy office environment. For offices combining Windows, Macintosh, and iMac users, the 1160 features built-in USB and parallel ports for both systems. Your staff can easily share the link to the 1160 via built-in printer sharing. Epson backs the 1160 with a one-year limited warranty. --Barbara Price

Photo Printer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Epson Stylus 1160 Color InkJet Printer (Office Product)
One of the best printers made by Epson in the last few years. Is now discontinued, but still in demand by knowledgable users. Is highly praised by photographers for its crisp output, and its ability to handle 3rd party inks without problem. Also well liked for printing Black and White photographs using 3rd party "quad" inks to avoid color tints in the grays.

Epson ink jets - buyer beware!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Epson Stylus 1160 Color InkJet Printer (Office Product)
Epson Stylus 1160 -- I rated this a 2 because it does produce beautiful output WHEN it is working. Otherwise it deserves 0! Over the last year I have used many $$$$ print cartridges just trying to get ink to flow through the print head. After a little more than a year the printer is completely dead and print head replacement is more expensive than a new printer!! My 5 year old Alps works and family members have a 6 year old Canon and 3 year old HP which still work great. In trying to figure out how to fix the Epson my research indicates that problems with Epson ink jet printers are common.
