Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Whether you're printing family photos, class reports, office documents, or labels for your CD release party, the Epson Stylus Photo 900 offers an array of options that give you quality and versatility at a good price. Epson's superior 6-color Photo Ink system, with up to 5,760 x 720 optimized dpi, ultra fine ink droplets, and borderless printing in four paper sizes deliver prints that look like traditional photos.

With the 900, it's easy to get great prints from P.I.M-enabled digital cameras, as it supports PRINT Image Matching (P.I.M.) II and Exif 2.2 technologies. Thanks to incredibly flexible media handling, you can take advantage of roll paper printing, inkjet-printable CDs and DVDs, and all sorts of paper weights and finishes. With Epson's Durabrite inks, you'll also have fade-resistant color for up to 27 years, yet the extra-large capacity of the ink tanks makes them surprisingly economical. The manufacturer includes a one-year warranty, covering parts and service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great features, full Mac OS X compatibility, June 13, 2003

The Epson Stylus Photo 900 is a great printer for a reasonable price. It's print quality is excellent and it prints on many types of media including borderless prints (8x10, 5x7, 4x6), CD/DVD direct printing (on CDs and DVDs with a printable surface), roll feed (4 or 8 inch-wide) and banners.

I've owned three previous Epson printers and this is clearly the best yet. It is reasonably fast, and very high quality.

And for Mac users, all of its features work under both Mac OS X and Mac OS 9! This includes the CD/DVD printing and borderless and roll printing features.

It does not have separate ink catridges for each color like its big brother the Stylus Photo 960, but it is about 60% of the price.

All in all I am very satisfied. I wish Epson had come up with a better name, however. They previously offered a Stylus 900 (non Photo) about two years ago and people are bound to confuse the two in discussion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb for printing on CDs and DVDs, September 30, 2003

I bought this printer for printing on CD/DVDs and am very pleased with the results. The colors come out extremely well and sharp (when using epson ink) on full-faced printing. The included Windows software works very well. I have had no problems with it.

You will have to do some setup work like adjusting the ink amount and colors depending on the type of inkjet media you buy. I had to go through at least 10 CDs to get the alignment and color close to perfect. Once I did that, I had no problems. Order some sample packs of inkjet media before you buy in bulk. I found that Ritek media didn't work well with this printer (left a vertical line down the left side of the disc). I found BeAll, Samsung, Optodisc, Verbatim, and Dupez inkjet media worked well with this printer.

I would highly recommend buying this printer if you plan to print on CD/DVDs. It is well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars EPSON COMES THROUGH LIKE A CHAMP, May 31, 2003

I do digital photography, web and graphic designs and make CDs. There is no need to spend thousands of dollars on a CD printer when you can get this printer for less...This printed a 5x7 at a decent speed and with 100% photo lab quality on the supplied Epson Premium glossy paper. I have owned Canon and Lexmark printers and bought an Epson 875DC and loved the 875 best of all. Then I bought this printer and just flipped over the quality of this printer at a reasonable price. I have never bought a high end printer because i have never had a need to because of the quality that EPSON offers in all its models. If i ever break down and buy a high end printer it will definitely be an EPSON. I will be amazed if the output could get any better.
