 Probably good if you can get it up and running! January 8, 2009

This is the most difficult printer we have ever set up. We are used to epson, but this one is another story. After removing all the packaging and turning it on, we set the date and time etc. After installing the ink cartridges it made a horrific clicking noise as if something was jammed and asked us to restart. After experiencing this problem numerous times it finally moved on. We thought we were successful... then installing the printer.
Now I am very competent with computers and installations but this one was something else. The printer software would not detect the printer even when it was plugged in directly... let alone wirelessly. We spent at least 10 hours straining over different ways and trying it on both Vista and XP to see if it made any difference. I was so looking forward to using this printer with all it's features... but by far, probably the most difficult to use printer Epson has ever made.
My RX585 Epson I got last year is really great... it has never jammed until a few days ago when a pen fell in it. I bought this as an addition to that, esp. for the fax function. It is an amazing concept and looks really good with its touchscreen panel, but only if it worked.
This company has been really good so far... 4.25 for next day delivery... LEGENDS!
Get this printer only if you are competent enough to set it up.

Photos printed out better than lab, very please with it. The printer look good too when not in use. I'd recommence this printer for anyone want a very good photo printer. Set up wireless is a bit trouble but I'd succesful set it up manually by enter your router code in the lcd panel and the connection never fail again. Overal 5 stars scores, epson inks are expensive and came in small packet but it worth when you see your photos come out at the end
Fantastic all rounder. December 16, 2008

I bought this to replace a rather old Epson Stylus Photo 810 that had become damaged in a house move. My main requirements for a printer were that it could print reasonable photographs, print onto CD/DVD Media and had the ability to connect to a network. Fortunately, the PX800FW fitted the bill perfectly.
I ordered it and it arrived the next day (thanks Amazon) and the box was huge! Setup was joyously easy. Normally I just setup without reading the instructions, but they seemed so easy from Epson's literature i followed them and I was printing within 10-15 minutes of opening the box.
Configuration with the network was a breeze, although to fit with my wireless network, I did manually enter the IP Address and DNS server etc., so I can't comment on how easy it is to attach to a standard home network.
I was able to connect it to my Vista desktop via USB (just to make things easier and take a load off the wireless network) and connect to it wirelessly from my XP Laptop.
Print quality on Epson media is positively astounding, so much so I rushed out to buy more Epson media, and I am not disappointed. Print quality on standard paper is okay, not amazing, but if you want amazing photo prints, you should be using photo paper anyway!
Speed is pretty good - it seems to be finished printing by the time I've walked from the other room on the laptop. However, switching on can be a little noisy and time consuming. The integrated CD/DVD tray is useful, although a little tricky to access and it feels like it could be a little flimsy, but again, I can't say that i've had any real problems.
Scanning is good - up to Epson's usual high quality - with the option to scan to various formats, including PDF. The ADF is a useful feature for scanning multi-page documents, although it can only really scan A4 sheets - it would have been much more useful if I could have used it for my old 7x5 and 6x4 photo collection rather than having to manually scan it.
Overall, a fantastic product that I would highly recommend. I wouldn't pay 300 for it, but the price I paid made it worth every penny.

I purchased this printer to replace my HP3310 which was of a similar spec, but just wasn't producing good enough photo prints after 3 years of (good) service. I have only ever owned HP printers, so changing to Epson was quite a big deal for me. At around 250, it isn't cheap either considering you can get a wireless enabled printer for less than 100 these days.
Firstly, this printer is aesthetically very pleasing to look at and compact in its nature, with no odd parts sticking out here or there. It has a big touch panel display, which is very intuitive to use. Note however that when viewing your photos and scans on the display, it will only use up the middle portion. Still big though. It has 2 paper trays, one for A4 size paper and the other for 5x7 or lower size photo paper, which saves you having to fiddle about changing paper depending on your activity. Operation is very quiet, prints come out quickly, even photos.
Now as I mentioned earlier, the quality of photo printing is awesome. The same picture printed in a professional lab doesn't look as good as the output on this. This is definitely a printer for photo enthusiasts. Ordinary printing looks no better or worse than any other printer to be honest. The scans come in at respectable times. Photocopying works as expected. I don't use fax so I can't comment. There are a few other bits and pieces which may appeal to certain people like being able to print ruled/graph/note paper straight from the printer (filofax anyone?) and something called colouring book mode (for kids). The direct to CD/DVD printing is welcome and the tray is built in and automated. A memory card reader is built in, as is a pictbridge USB port. On the back you have your ethernet, USB, power and fax inputs. On the top is an auto document feeder. Changing the ink is as simple as lifting the scanner lid.
The printer is supposed to be energy efficient which is a bonus in this day and age. I do have some concerns about this printer though. I've read on the net that epson print heads tend to break down just out of warranty, only time will tell. The ink cartridges appear to be quite small, so it may not be the cheapest price/print ratio. The paper output tray is a little flimsy, as is the flap that covers the paper trays. Bluetooth is not standard, you will need a bluetooth dongle to enable this feature. Disappointing on a printer this expensive. As is the lack of duplexing, on top of the fact that the duplexing unit (at around 30) is seemingly impossible to get hold of at the time of writing this review.
A note about setup on a OSX Leopard. The included setup is straightforward. It has a step by step configuration for using wirelessly. Again pretty easy to setup because it pulls your routers settings off the router via an ethernet cable (you must connect the ethernet cable to the router before setting up the wireless), all you need is your WEP password or similar. I believe the printer has 'N' specification wireless which is plus for most recent mac hardware purchasers. The drivers and colour profiles are installed via the setup CD and of course you get a small suite of applications to use but most people will be using iPhoto or Aperture to print their pictures. Using the printer in Aperture is alot easier than the HP because when you select for example borderless 4x6 the printer knows to use paper in the photo tray automatically (unlike the HP). The epson software is alot less bloated than the HP software for macs (anyone who has had to download software updates from HP knows what I mean). Overall, I feel the mac support from epson is alot better than HP, which is one thing that did worry me with the switch.
Overall I would recommend this printer for the quality of photo prints and the way in which features are implemented. It is a quick, quiet, attractive and easy to use. If its within your budget, go for it.
