Epson Stylus R320 Photo Inkjet Printer Reviews
Tech support is only available Monday through Friday 6 am to 8 pm pacific time, which for a full time working parent of 2 kids under 3 years of age I am lucky to find time to make this kind of a call. Tech Support won't go "off script" or skip ahead. IF someone at EPSON reads this I hope they will consider getting a toll free number to improve customer satisfaction. There is no toll free number to call tech support, so yes, you have to pay for the call yourself, use up your cell minutes, whatever.
I can't figure out why the print quality is so poor when I print from the computer to the printer (I have a macbook pro, MAC OSX 10.4.11 and am trying to print photos stored in iPhoto and Photoshop Elements 4.0), it's something with the settings, because I have called tech support before and they walked me through it successfully the last time I tried to print photos a few months ago (don't I wish I had taken better notes). do a print nozzle check, now do it again, and let's just do it one more time. 3. OK so yes I know most of this is probably user error but it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to print a decent photo from a photo printer, nor should tech support be so costly and unhelpful. Is it so difficult to tell me what settings are required on the computer so I can print photo quality photos.
1. Tech Support is inflexible. Of course I knew that uninstalling and reinstalling the printer driver (which I had done 3-5 times already) was not the answer but tech support insisted we do it again. 2. Oh yeah, did I mention that they don't even have a toll free number so that after I got disconnected at 8:06 pm pacific, it was too late to call back so I still have my question unanswered and my photos still printing disappointingly. 5. After 35 agonizing minutes of walking me through the script ("unplug the printer.
5 reasons why I hate EPSON. or else I (the so called tech support) will get in trouble because the line is recorded") I GOT DISCONNECTED JUST AS WE WERE STARTING TO TRY TO PRINT A PHOTO. So that took an additional 5 or 6 minutes, and I still never got the information I was looking for because we were disconnected. 4.
That's a TOTAL RIPOFF. I like the printer - works fine but I'm wondering who is stupid enough to pay $449.99 listed on the Toyzz site.
Now it will not let me print in black when any other color ink is out, even with a fresh black cartridge. And no work-arounds are possible. This printer has been buggy since day one. This is obviously a case of a company not giving a flip about their customers. Epson will NEVER receive another dime of my business. A waste of my money, my resources and my time. Then it seemed the ink ran out ridiculously fast, even when printing in black.
I have used a Spyder to calibrate my monitor. I am using high-quality Epson paper (5 star).
I have an Epson C88+ that is not a photo printer, but it produces much more true colors than the R320. The colors tend to come out muted or with a weird tint.
Unfortunately, it uses pigment ink, which isn't good for glossy photos. This printer is nearly impossible to calibrate to get true colors.
I am VERY disappointed in this printer especially since it's by Epson, which has always created outstanding printers and ink. Don't buy this printer look for something else.
Otherwise, I'd abandon the R320 altogether. However, after much fussing with the print settings, I still can't get it to produce colors to come anywhere close to the screen colors.
I should have researched it more thoroughly, but anyone looking to do anything more creative than print out pictures should NOT get this model. Graphic artists beware. It is also an ink-guzzler (with more cartridges to buy)., and is very finicky about what types of media it will print on. I replaced my old Epson Stylus with this and was extremely disappointed in its ability to interface with desktop publishing programs such as Quark and InDesign.
