Epson Stylus Photo 925 Printer Reviews
The printer roll is superfluous, as I never got that to work correctly. I believe it is the cutting feature, meant to be used with the roll paper, that is causing most of the paper jams, so this printer would probably work better without that extra. Nearly every time I've tried to print a document, there's been jam. I have never had a printer that I have disliked more heartily.
The quality is fine, the speed is fine, but it is the most temperamental piece of equipment I own. After jam. I ended up purchasing this printer. All the same, I'll be upgrading to a less problematic printer in the near future. I'm starting to think I should be fined by some environmental group for the amount of paper I've been wasting on this machine. I also needed a printer that would work with Linux with few hassles. Also, the card readers are useless, as all of my digital cameras now use SD cards. The photo quality is very good, the text quality is just fine, and as long as I'm not in any hurry for my documents, then I have no problem.
I bought this printer in approximately 2004. At the time I was simply a college student looking for a reliable printer to churn out papers, homework assignments, and maybe a few photos of my friends and I relaxing on the weekends. After JAM. If you have the skills, the time, and the patience to continually take this printer apart to remove tiny, torn scraps of paper from the inner workings, then this is the machine for you. I'd had Epsons before and liked them. Since then, this printer has been non-functional more than it has been functional. Other than that, it's a pretty good printer.
If you happen to print nothing for a couple of days, one or more printhead colors clog up and require multiple "cleaning cycles" to restore. This printer is now discontinued. be okay; but it's definitely not a purchase I would repeat.
It is no exaggeration to say that I've expended far more ink in getting ready to print than in actual printing. If you print both B&W and color EVERY DAY, it might(). I bought this at a show where the dealer was printing a continuous photo-paper roll of on-the-spot shapshots of customers.
Given the cost of the color cartridge, it is a really expensive printer to operate. The problem is, that's about ALL you can do. I note that it still shows up for sale (both new and used), so I decided it's still worth mentioning (and warning).
What a great demo.
We use our Epson C80 for our document printing and love it as well. I only print photos with it so it may be months between uses. Luckily, Epson shows you where the ink levels are. I tried an off brand and what a mess. I was so impressed with the quality of the photo prints that I had to have it. We've had that one forever. You definitely have to replace the black ink cartridge when it gets low or you get ugly black images in the dark areas of your photos.
We never have to clean the heads on it. I am currently looking at 12" wide printers and Epson will be my printer of choice. I've owned this printer for about 3 years. The ink just laid on top of the paper. The ink is too expensive to print documents and it really does a pretty crappy job on them. You really can only use Epson photo paper with it. I always clean and align the heads before I use it.
I wish I could recommend this printer - but due to this issue - I cannot. Yes - there is a print pattern you can run to check to see if the heads need cleaning - but even if this checks out - you can still run into quality issues during an 8x10 print or the printing of many 4x6s. 1 - You never know exactly when during the printing of pictures that your prints will suck. What does this mean.
But - as many have pointed out here - it requires consistent cleaning of the print heads. Well - two main issues:. At the first sign of any major trouble - I am burying it and I guess will try another major manufacturer like HP.
2 - Cleaning the print heads wastes ink - so you will be constantly buying more. Yes - this printer can print a remarkable photo. I stuck with Epson because I really liked my old reliable Stylus Color 400.but I have some issues with this printer.
May as well paint with a rock, right. from my youngest daughters anemic 1MP el cheapo camera printed on TYPING paper. Yes, all the negative reviews.here's some advice. It's framable and perfect.
Takes minutes and assures things are ready to go before you put a sheet of the expensive glossy photo paper in. Very simple.page 83.clean the head and then the nozzles. begin to dry out the instant they stop spraying.

I do landscape paintings in oil and reference photos are. Regardless of the brand or model you purchase the nozzles will. There is an 8x10 photo on my fridge. And look at it. I'm getting a second 925 for my oldest daughter as a birthday gift. That says it all. Ever forget to clean a paint brush or roller and left it out over night. I've put this printer through the paces for almost three years now.
From wedding photos to graphic art on t-shirt transfers this printer has been flawless. This baby is a workhorse. I clean them.

Save the paper for future checks. Use typing paper to run your check pattern. If it's been a week or more since you did any printing you may have to clean it twice.
