4.0 out of 5 stars I Love this All-In-One, February 2, 2006

I needed to reduce the clutter/items in my bedroom (scanner, printer, fax), so I needed to get an all in one. I've had this baby for about 2 weeks now, and it is awesome. I've already gone through one set of ink cartridges testing all its features. I considered getting the AIO hp 7310 but decided the direct cd/dvd printing from this Epson was a must have. I'll just keep my original fax machine. My fil and I are always in competition for the latest gadgets and when I printed photos for him...he was amazed!! He owns a Sony 4x6 thermal dye printer and it was not even close to the way my Epson printed photos. He brought over 3 boxes of slides and I cannot believe the resolution for scanning slides. Unbelievable. When scanned using the restore faded slide/negatives feature, the output was incredible. It looks like I shot thes pictures yesterday, the colors are so vibrant. The preview screen is a great feature and beautiful. I rarely hook it up to my laptop, so it was great to see previews prior to printing. The Epson glossy photo paper works the best for photos. I've tried Kodak and HP papers and there is no comparison to the output on the Epson paper. Equivalent to a photo lab. For CD/DVD printing, I've used the Verbatim brand. They have less coasters and they look beautiful. My only peeve would be the cost of and finding replacement ink. It cost anywhere between $75-80 to replace all cartridges, 6 individual ink cartridges (so you only replace the color that runs out). If you are using this mainly for printing photos, then I would suggest getting a dedicated 4x6 printer. It's not cost effective to print on this one. But if you are looking for a great all around printer....then this is the one you want.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best All-In-One I've Seen (see update below), December 13, 2005

I have had the Epson RX700 for a few weeks and it is excellent in all ways. I've printed, copied, scanned (photos, slides and film), used the memory card feature... and this is the best. I purchased an HP 3310 and a Canon 760 before this and returned both. The quality overall of the Epson RX700 is far superior. I own an iMac G5 and it works fine with the latest Mac OS. I couldn't get the HP 3310 to work with the latest OS and I'm glad I didn't because this All-In-One is great for me. Faxing would be nice, but I'll take the quality of this All-In-One over the faxing feature. Photos come out beautiful! For the price you can't beat this one.

2/8/07 update. Lately I haven't been using my printer daily and I sometimes get a print that looks faded. I've had to use the Epson Printer Utility to clean the heads and it's back to normal. You need to print regularly on Epson printers to eliminate the nozzles clogging. So 4 1/2 stars I guess.

This is an excellent multi-function device. The ability to print on CDs and the film scanning options are nice pluses to already comprehensive package.

The print quality at all settings is superb. Text documents are very crisp and highly readable. Photos are glorious. The six-color process lends them a depth that is substantially better than four-color machines.

Scanning and copying are simple operations. Epson software for scanning is markedly improved over earlier versions.

Mechanically the machine is straight-forward. I've no problem with paper feeding, though I haven't tried heavy stocks yet.

Overall the only negative I have is the cost of Epson cartridges. That's how they make their profits I know, but still I wish they showed more mercy to the consumer. Ink consumption doesn't seem to be overly high, though I am wary of the inability to print once any cartride is empty.

On the whole, the RX700 is an excellent multi-function device and above all a truly wonderful color printer.
