This is one great inkjet! I have had three Epson printers and this is perhaps the best. What I liked is that it has larger ink cartridges so you don't have to spent the big bucks so often. It is extremely FAST! There is a PostScript RIP available if you need it (works great, too!).

Photographs printed on this printer look like they came from Kodak. And they print faster than any other inkjet available today.

CONS: I can find no difference (even under a magnifier) between the 1440dpi mode and the 740dpi mode. The 1440dpi mode takes twice as long to print, so why bother. Also, I had trouble with blue-screens (lockups) in the 1440 mode and Epson tech couldn't solve the problem, so I now print in the 740dpi mode and it looks great with no lockups!

Overall, this is a great printer for business or home-office use. You won't regret the few extra dollars that you had to spend!

I waited a few days after buying my new Epson Stylus 900 to write this so that I could try the printer out in various printing projects. But I have to say that this is one COOL printer. It is a tiny bit noisy when it is preparing to print but once it gets the project started, it really flys. The quality is unbelievable especially in the photo reproduction but just plain black text looks perfect. I thought I had bad JPEGs...but I just had a old 300 dpi printer. It is such a leap from my HP Deskwriter that I could kick myself for waiting so long to spring the bucks for it. If speed is important definately buy the 900 (instead of the lower priced Stylus 740) but I'll bet that the quality is about the same. I have been printing at 740 dpi (not 1440) for my best quality. I bought this printer on the recommendations of other people on this amazon.com site so I thought I would return the favor.

This printer rocks. The small ink-droplett output makes halftones and gradients come out amazingly smooth with almost no dot pattern visible.

We just purchased this printer, reluctantly, after our old one died an agonizing death. We were surprised at how fast and how quiet this new Epson is. We especially like the ability to customize and save different color settings for different types of projects. Also, the pop-up monitor that shows ink reserves for both cartridges and amount of time remaining to print both page and project was a handy little tool.

After five years using one of the first color ink jet printers we decided to buy a new printer. The Epson Stylus Color 900 is everything we hoped. The color is spectacular, it prints very quickly, and is quiet as well. Our only wish is that the ink would be a little cheaper and that it would accept banner paper.

I've been using an HP InkJet for several years. I can't believe how Epson has surpassed HP - the speed is fantastic, and the output quality is truely unbelievable. What a great price performer!

I've had this printer for over a year. On the plus side, this Epson prints very fast in both B&W and in color, and the printed pages and photos it turns out look great. On the negative side, two or three times a week, it has to go through a noisy and annoying one-minute-plus cycle to warm up before printing even one page, it needs head cleaning multiple times(done by an included software utility) about every three weeks which can take another three to five minutes of cycling or else I see gaps in the printouts, it runs very noisily when it is printing, and it goes through black ink cartridges faster than I'd like. Bottom line, when I have to do it over again, I'll go back to HP despite the high quality and speed of the Epson's printing, because my HP printers don't do the things that annoy me about the Epson Stylus Color 900.

I bought this when Kinkos couldn't give me the results I needed for a special job. I had an Epson 700 but needed the increased throughput of the 900. What a great purchase. This thing pumps out fantastic color all day long. I've used it on several projects of more than a thousand sheets per run. It's paid for itself several times over when compared to what copy shops would charge.

Why buy a photo only printer when you can have it all? This printer is very intuitive in the auto settings and has performed flawlessly. The ink level meter is a definite plus too. I found it a little noisy when spooling print jobs though.

if i can stop anyone else from making the same mistake as our company and not buy epson trash, this review will be worth it.the drive mechs in their printers stink and have failed repeatedly in all the various models we've tried.top that off with the rudest customer service in the world and you have a company we will no longer deal with.HP makes a superior product and always responds well.Epson is just junk.
