Editorial Reviews :
Epson combines brilliant color with 2,880 x 720 dpi resolution in the Stylus Photo 820. Epson's PRINT Image Matching technology oversees six separate fast-drying color photo inks that are formed into superfine 4-picoliter droplets, resulting in bright, accurate, true-to-life color. The 820's prints are frequently indistinguishable from standard photographs, making this an ideal printer for professional applications as well as the home office.
Print speed is a respectable 12 ppm for black-and-white prints, while a 4-by-6-inch photo takes roughly 48 seconds. The 820 supports a wide variety of media types, including standard letter-size paper; greeting cards; banners up to 44 inches; and 4-by-6-inch, 5-by-7-inch, and 8-by-10-inch borderless papers. The input tray holds 100 sheets or 10 envelopes, and the output tray holds 30 sheets.
The Software bundle includes Epson Software Film Factory with Print Image Matching support, Arcsoft PhotoImpression 3.0, and QBeo PhotoGenetics 2.0 TE. Installation and connectivity are easy, with both USB and parallel ports provided. Compatible with both Windows and Macintosh, the Photo 820 comes with a one-year warranty and is backed by the Epson Exchange program.
Buyer Reviews :
I started with an HP 882C last year thinking that I had a printer that could print 'photo quality.' Unfortunately, it didn't. After a year of dissappointment, I talked to my photographer brother after seeing some prints that I'd assumed had come from his office. Not so! He had used an Epson printer.
I didn't want to buy one at first, because of all of the $$ I'd likely spend making prints. Well, it hasn't been so bad. Unlike the other review here, I think that the cartridges are reasonable (compared to the HP that I had) and the paper is reasonable for the quality.
With other brands, paying more means better quality images. However, with Epson, paying more means faster printing speeds. This printer is basically at the bottom of the Epson line, with great quality, especially with the best papers. The black and white is crisp and clean.
Get ready though, because the prining is SLOW! That goes for color, photo, B&W print, all of it! Anything that's not draft quality is slow, slow, slow!
If you are getting ready to make a purchase, check to see how much money you have, then compare to how much time you have. I have left the printer to print out a two page resume, 25 copies, for a total of 50 pages. It's been quite a while...longer than an hour! That's the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars.
However, if you have other things to do, and a negative scanner or a high quality digital camera, this could be just the thing for you. Made plenty of Christmas presents this year!
