It is a awesome printer with very good quality, I recommend it for anyone who wants a good photo printer.
I use this printer for all of my smaller art prints, business cards, stationery sets, and for printing up reference. It's wonderful, even with the ink price (mind you, this is coming from someone who sells the product that's printed). Giclee is
I so happy with the HD pictures, but I guess I have to pay for what I like, ink is cost money.
Out of the box this printer is Ink Hungry however you can get a Continuous ink supply system CISS and all you ink problems will be solvedthis thing comes with 600ml of Ink about 10 times more then ink Cartridge[...]
I read several reviews of this printer before I purchased and was almost afraid to buy it. However, I'm VERY satisfied with the printer. It is large and does use six different colors of ink, but provides easy and beautiful labels for my CDs and DVDs.
I've had a great experience with this printer, and I use it pretty much exclusively for DVD labeling. Wish I had found this printer much sooner--I had a very bad experiment with paper labels (which might work in standalone DVD players but do NOT play
First, about me - I am an HP printer bigot, and a PC user. I bought this printer to print labels on CDs, and installed it on a MAC (which I can barely operate), so I'm really in unfamiliar territory.That being said, the printer and software installed
It's fast, easy, does the job and has great printing in color and b/w. Another triumph for Epson! The multiple cartridges help you save money on the ink you need.
The printer is everything they said it would be. I have printed photos and I marvel at the quality of the prints!
i've owned both the r200, r220 and now the r260. using re-fillable cartridges and generic epson compatable ink from a very popular auction site, i find it to be a worthy successor to the preceding 2 printers. a little bulkier than the former 2 and ju
As I write this (Aug 07) Epson has announced four new inexpensive all-in-one printers, one priced even lower than the R260. The R260 is now the R280 on their website. Epson is selling the older R260 on their website for $30 off, as is Staples, (but you ne
Currently cannot comment on the ink usage, since I have not had it that long but I would suggest that you not use the extra high quality settings on anything else but final photos.
Only Epson makes printers that can print directly onto DVDs, and the R-260 is their current lowest-end product with this capability. Indeed, this printer is so low end that ink refill packages cost about three dollars more than the printer (which comes co
The Epson R260 can't be beat for picture quality and color in this price range.
Since I have owned the printer have yet to find anyone cheaper than Newegg for the inks when price is combined with shipping. So look at the ink prices here for ink cost for an idea use cost. December 2006.
The CD/DVD print mechanism is very similar to that used on the R200 and R300 series. So... after about 300 DVD prints, you may experience some jamming of the carrier tray due to wear. You just need to elevate the tray about a half inch (I use a DVD case o
I have the R200 on CIS and my friend has the R260. She complains about the ink consumption also compared to her previous R220, but since I recently purchased a CIS system, she is really thinking that she is going to re love this unit. If you install a CIS
The ink is expensive, but it does let you change one color at a time so you donâ
I use this printer to print DVD labels and it works GREAT for that purpose. I like the Epson Easy Print software and it works well with OS X (unlike other printer software I've tried) The quality of the DVD label is excellent and allows you to create
I'm so tired of labels and this printer fits the bill perfectly. The only issue I have is that it's a little difficult to get used to the software and isn't as user friendly when manipulating the image. Also, the printed picture has a tende
This printer labels dvds great, I haven't used it for anything else I have another printer for that, cause once the inks run out, this printer bites you in the pocket. There are 6 individual inks so you can replace the one that runs out but generics
I bought this printer to make commercial looking CD's of church services. After initial disappointment over ink use, I realized I was trying to do too much. After toning the labels down a bit, I am very satisfied, and others are impressed. This is a
This is a VERY nice printer, was easy to set up, had several steps, but the easy to follow guide was great. we were printing CD/DVDs within 10 minutes of opening the box. And, the quality is really great! It does print a LITTLE slower than we are used to
Great Printer! Does what I bought it for and that's to print on printable CDs/DVDs. Ease of Use, Color, Setup, and instructions all GREAT! My only reason for rating 4 out of 5 is because of cost of ink. The necessary evil with these types of printers
I have been using this printer for the last few days and found it to work great. People who say this is an ink guzzler are forgetting that this is a photo printer. Of course it will drink ink, how else do you expect a photo printer to work? If you need a
The print quality is fantastic on photo paper and dvd's. The only gripe (a small one) is that its a little big. I haven't had to buy ink yet so I'm not sure what that will be like.
This printer was purchased mainly to print on injet DVD's. It works great and I'm very happy that I made this purchase.
I've used the printer only a few times so far, but it appears to be a good machine. My only complaint is the same one I have with all computer inkjet printers: the printer cartridges are ridiculously expensive.
I have been waiting for about a year for Epson to update there photo printer line and finally they have with 3 new PIM III printers! I only purchase Epson photo printers because of the PIM (Print Image Matching) that is built in the firmware and also at l
I was considering the higher priced Epson models but decided on the 260 for the occasional 5 x 7 and 8 x 10 prints. The output is very nice. As far as ink consumption, it may be high but I don't have a lot to compare to. Since purchasing the printer
After my Epson R220 failed, I was shipped this as a replacement from EPSON (a two-day shipping time, mind you), having first selected the Epson line soley for its optional printing direct-to-CD/DVD -- and for this feature alone the 260 is superb. The R260
About the Hi-capacity carthridges, beware, there are some online stores that sell it, but they dont actually have it.
great quality prints, but it'll cost you a lot of money replacing ink so often if you plan on using it regularly.
I think this printer uses alot less ink then my lexmark even at the highest qualty setting. The ink costs more,but looks better and last longer in the long run.
Get this if you plan on duplicating cd's. Can't speak for other uses, but on CD's the quality is immaculate when using Verbatim cd's.
For the average joe, to semi-pro's that need CD duplication printing, this printer does a decent job doing so. The quality of the prints are above average, and yield great results. I mean, it's not 200 line silk screen or anything. I used the Im
print very well, but ink disappear very quick and is very, very expensive. the 6 cartridge is more expensive them the printer itself.what I'm doing is buying a new printer for less them the price of the ink, open the box, remove the 6 cartridge, and
I bought this expressly for printing on CDs. It works well and produces a nice-looking end product, but the ink cartridge longevity (as noted in many other reviews) is utterly pitiful. In addition, since it doesn't use black, magenta, blue, yellow li
I just ordered this printer today, so I haven't tried it. Hence the middle-of-the-road rating.HOWEVER, instead of being scared off by the horror stories of the printer being thirsty for very expensive ink, I did a little research on Google and eBay.W
I wanted to print on Cd's so there are not many choices of printers that can do that. This printer was to replace an Epson r220 which had gone bad in about a year. When you open the package there is a warning that says that the first ink cartridges w
Overall, the printer is good. Color printing is excellent, the speed and noise are good, but printing a black & white photo has been a problem. It is more sepia than true B&W. I removed all color from the picture using Photoshop and made sure the
II like Epson printers and have had many over the years and this is the first time I have not been able to give a BIG thumbs up. I am giving it three stars because the CDs look great, but the ink consumption is way more than expected. I would give 5 stars
Compair HP D5160 with Epson R260 The HP software suck but you get so much more for less.
I did not buy this on Newegg.
I love the quality of this printer. I have had so much fun printing Cd labels. Unlike the other reviewers, I was actually surprised that the ink lasted as long as it did. I don't know if I just don't do as much printing as others but I was surpr
I purchased the Epson R220 for $80 at Best Buy. I got it exclusively for printing direct to DVDs and it does this task very well. First I printed about 15 full face discs and lo it drained the ink cartridges down below the half point. Then I checked the i
Tray rejections with the R-200 is part of the design flaw of the early models. While tech support says that the tray is warped and you need to buy a new one-or two, it usually is just worn. Try this: First check the lip for warping, if it is warped, heat
The one and only pro:Picture quality excellentLots of cons:NoisyLarge sizeUses ink up FAST!!Ink expensive $80+ direct from Epson (cheapest source I could find).(You can buy a re-conditioned R260 for $59 shipped free from Epson, ink included -saves you $21
Prints well.. but runs out of ink tooo fast!!! ALL my ink cartridges were empty after a month of moderate use! It actually cost more to replace the ink then to buy an entirely new printer!!!
The good: Prints great on inkjet DVDs (Taiyo Yuden + Verbatim).The bad: Everything else. Takes forever to initialize and will prime the cartridges every chance it gets. I almost don't mind the wa$ted ink... just let me print today! The software sucks
