Summary:With all the weakness I would still use this printer but the Printer Stopped working for no reason, tells me all my ink cartridges are empty. After calling Epson, and doing all they said to do, I was told to take it to repair shop. from Mwave.com Pros: pretty nice print quality Cons: wastes a ton of ink with automatic head cleaning cycle ! If you buy the Epson R260 (or any other Epson printer) you better live close to the Ink Store and have a lot of money in your wallet. The ink costs about $80 for all 6 cartridges. from Yahoo.com While Epson printers have outstanding print resuts when used properly, I had a very negative experience when one of mine broke within 3 months of purchase. Epson would not back their product or even give telephone support without a hefty fee. from Amazon.com I bought this a few years ago because I thought it had decent reviews, but little did I know! The photo printing leaves something to be desired, it was grainy and ugly, I've seen better on cheaper printers (this was around $200 when I bought it). from Amazon.com On my way to the trash to throw this printer away, I thought to myself "I should write an amazon review to warn people about this thing." from Amazon.com Got a Tivo recently and archive my shows to DVD so generate a STACK of DVDs regularly. Tried all the standard transfer labels but just wasn't happy with the results; the white ones were "ok" but very pedestrian. from Amazon.com Worked out the box great, decent prints and fast. Then my nightmare began---with the blinking of the low ink light. I bought genuine Epson ink, replace all the tanks. Low ink light still comes on. from Amazon.com I have been using Epson printers for years now, and I find that the Epson R260 is my favorite. It never has conflicts with my old XP or new Vista computers. from Amazon.com I am now on my third R260 printer. The first one died a few weeks into ownership, after a whopping 30 or so prints (b/w homework, not photos). from Amazon.com I was in the desktop publishing business in the 1980s. Companies sent us their printers for evaluation. Since that time I have used or reviewed dozens of printers. Two years ago, a client gave me the Epson R260 so I could print on inkjet-printable DVDs that I was delivering to him. from Amazon.com
