Epson Stylus Photo R300 Ink-Jet Printer

I just read the only other review of this printer and was disappointed by it. The writer recommends avoiding this printer. While my experience hasn't driven me so far as to recommend it, I'm much happier than the other author seems to be with the... Read full review »

Pros memory card reader, prints cds/dvds, high quality photo printing, cheaper than comparable...
Cons heavy ink usage, small cartridges, cd/dvd loader loads improperly
Recommended it? Yes

Initially I bought this printer over the comparable HP version because of the price. The printer has some short comings but overall I've been happy with the purchase.

Memory Card Reader - One of the best features of this printer is the memory card read which can read SD, Mini SD, memory... Read full review »

Good idea, horribly executed.

Pros Prints nice color labels on CDs and DVDs.
Cons Doesn't do much of anything without major user interaction.
Recommended it? No

I've had the displeasure of owning three of these and they all had the same problems. I bought the printer for one purpose and only one purpose, to print on CDs and DVDs. Each and every one of them had suffered from the same problems, they cannot do the job without a major amount of babysitting... Read full review »

Durable, high quality, uses little ink

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Perfect output, uses ink up according to USER'S settings (paper type, etc),...
Cons Slow on the final draft. An 8X10 with optimal settings can take a whole minute.
Recommended it? Yes

I've had my R300 for years + I'm paying almost $150 parts+labor to have the rolling paper-grabber replaced because it's the first and only problem I've had and it still prints beautifully (when it takes the paper). I've probably printed 400,000 pages of text over the years, and the output looks as... Read full review »

Horrible Ink Guzzler

byerunia Jan 4, 2007
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Nice output for (super-expensive) photos
Cons Ink must cost its weight in gold/diamonds
Recommended it? No

It's very difficult to like Epson or its printer, even though it does a great job on pictures. The R300 guzzles so much ink, which is very expensive (almost as much as a cancer drug). Also, the settings are strange--even though I keep printing past all the 2-3 warning countdown messages until the... Read full review »

Very good light-duty cd-printer

byarc111 Sep 4, 2006
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Low cost,bulk ink compatible, beautiful photos, will print cd's, media-card reader,...
Cons Occasionally hangs, heavy paper feed problems, slow cd printing, wastes a lot of ink.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the refurbished printer online several months ago at a very low price ($60 delivered). The low price was due to there being no ink cartridges included. I had researched several printers and this Epson series will eventually have a near-cult following.

If you are savvy enough to... Read full review »

Stay away from this one!

Pros Text print quality is good.
Cons Useless for printing on CDs. Photo print quality is poor.
Recommended it? No

I bought this printer specifically for printing on CDs and DVDs. That was a big mistake. I paid over $200 for a substandard quality printer that only occasionally will actually print on a CD.

From day 1 it takes 5 to 10 attempts to get the printer to print on a CD. Either the Epson... Read full review »

Jury is still out

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros great to print on CDs and DVDs
Cons expensive ink -- but be careful about generic replacements
Recommended it? Yes

The R300 is one of the Stylus line with the added feature that it prints directly on "inkjet printable" CDs and DVDs. It does this through the use of a special "feeder tray" which is inserted into a manual flap which folks out of the front, so that the tray positions the CD or DVD beneath the print...
