5.0 out of 5 stars I Like it., March 8, 2007

It's bigger than I had imagined, and I needed to brace it on the side by putting a pad between the printer and the wall to keep the massive printing head mechanism from swinging it back and forth on top of the stand, but I simply followed the directions plugging stuff in, installing the drivers and the optional network card, and BAM, it worked. It worked really well. The quality of prints, on good paper, surpasses anything I've gotten back from a photo lab. Granted, part of that lies in the ability to optimize the pictures directly from the raw format of the camera until printing, but we haven't even set up the calibrated monitor yet or a customized printer profile. I look forward to seeing the results we get after we get more meticulous about the process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid workehorse printer, October 24, 2011

This review is from: Epson Stylus Pro 4800 Color Inkjet Printer (Office Product)

I've got one of these in a studio I run part time. I've gone through many many 100 foot rolls of 10" and 16" over the years and have hardly had a hiccup out of the printer.

The only time I had a problem was user error, I had the wrong paper type selected and got some nasty horizontal banding in the prints.

The ink tanks might be spendy but they last a long time. This is a very efficient printer.

I will be looking to add one to my personal studio later this year.

1.0 out of 5 stars A nightmare!, June 8, 2010

I am also one who has to maintain this printer in a lab for students. Sometimes I think the thing is possessed. It doesn't even work by the adage garbage in garbage out. Sometimes it will randomly kick out a full sheet of paper with nothing on it. Sometimes it will print half of an image. It is so finicky with paper size that it will constantly give errors of paper not loaded correctly, it will pull the paper from the tray and then give an error that paper is out, with the paper locked under the printer heads. Tried resetting to factory settings, tried messing with the fine tuning, the presets, everything. If you had this set up at home and only did one type of thing with it, maybe it would be ok, but like the other reviewer stated, it is so finicky and difficult I have wasted days of my life just trying to get one decent print out of it. If I had to do over I would go with Canon. My Canon at home takes a beating and still keeps printing like a charm.
