4.0 out of 5 stars I don't know what you all bought, but ....., October 28, 2007

Boy after reading the last few posts, I was worried when I bought one for my wife the "PhotoNut" However, the package arrived in perfect condition, I bought direct from Epson. All the pieces were in the box properly packed, we installed the software, simple, loaded the cartridges as indicated by the instructions, plugged into the USB port, printer was found right away. We tried the copy and enhance the color option first, WOW!!! I had a 15 year old collage group shot that hung on a wall and faded, the redo brought it back to life. Its not perfect, but WOW anyway

I love this printer. My wife spent hours last night playing with it and handed me a stack of really great looking prints this morning I was impressed! We currently have a HP Photosmart 1000 and a Epson Picture Mate Both still work fine, but the 680 takes the prize!!!

For those of you that have had problems, I don't know what to say, for anybody reading this, I really like it, so does my wife.

Good Luck to all

5.0 out of 5 stars Does everything it's supposed to do very well, September 7, 2007

This review is from: Epson Stylus Photo RX680 Photo All-in-One Printer (Office Product)

Summary: After using most of the features on this printer in 1 day, I'm very impressed with the quality and performance that I've seen!

Pros:
- Looks great
- 2 paper trays (never have to remove "normal" paper again)
- auto-duplexing (very convenient to save paper. automatically adjusts ink and "drying time" to avoid bleed-through and smearing
- AMAZING photo prints. I literally cannot tell a difference between these prints and photo lab prints (when printing high-quality pictures)
- good quality plain-paper prints
- easy to use built-in functions (the menu is very simple to navigate)
- scanner is quiet and produces good quality (must choose high DPI if you want great quality)
- very good user guide on the computer. explains everything in detail

Cons:
- Draft printing could look a little better (but then again it is called "draft" for a reason)
- loud noise made before each print (right when it pulls the paper)

Unknown:
- Ink usage. I've printed about 20 photos on 4x6 best quality, as well as probably 20 "normal" letter-sized pages (text+graphics). The only ink level that isn't 100% is Light Magenta, which looks to be about 99% :) Others have said that these Epson photo printers use a TON of ink. I'll find out soon if this one does too.
- CD/DVD printing. I haven't tried it yet.

Conclusion: So far, I'm extremely pleased with the purchase. I would definitely recommend this printer/copier/scanner to someone else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Printer... Not sure what some of the others purchased., January 1, 2008

This review is from: Epson Stylus Photo RX680 Photo All-in-One Printer (Office Product)

I purchased this all in one printer approximately 1 month ago with some hesitation because of some of the other reviews. I guess as with a lot of things, being the first to purchase isn't necessarily a good thing. Fortunately I have had NONE of the experiences some of the others have had.

Mine was purchased from a store (during shipping products can get beat up). I pretty much pulled it out of the box, loaded the software, and began printing. In addition to the printing speed, I was amazed at the picture quality. There truly is a difference when I compare the images to those printed off a former HP 7700 series printer.

One thing I did notice is you pretty much need to use Epson paper. I tried using some Kodak paper I had and noticed that even after leaving the prints out for 8 hours the ink still smudged. That is not an issue if you use the Epson paper (it seems to dry almost instantaneously).

Printing on a cd was easy using the supplied cd tray. I also have had excellent results from scanning pictures and documents. All & all I am VERY satisfied. I was so satisfied I donated my old HP printer & HP scanner to charity for the tax write off!!!

If you need an EXCELLENT quality all in one printer, this is the one for you. Do some price shopping as there are some stores that were giving $30-$40 off, but definitely purchase this. You won't be disappointed.
