I bought the EPSON R320 30 days ago for just under $200, it is now is selling for $20 less in the same store. I took it back because it is a stupid printer, the default settings baffle me, if you swap between 8x11.5 paper and 4x6 photos you never know how your printout is going look. The printer seemed to go into lala land while using it, had to shut it off and re-power on to get it going again (then I had to reset the settings for the type of print I was doing). The software supplied with the printer "FILM FACTORY" is worse then useless; it seems it was designed to use ink uselessly. I got better prints just using MSWORD or the Camedia program that came with my camera. The store (FRYS) took it back and I bought a bubble jet at same price, which so far is working fine.

I purchased the R300 as a floor model at a discount. Got some great full sized borderless prints of my scanned paintings using Photoshop 6 on my MAC G4, system 9. When I connected the R300 to my MAC G5 I had to use the older USB 1 cable rather than the shorter USB 2 which I had just purchased for use with this printer, because the USB 2 was too short to reach G5 cpu. I got those terrible lines, must have cleaned the print heads 20 times, downloaded the newest drivers, no change. I turned the R300 in and got a new R320 and a USB 2 cable. No more streaks! If you buy this printer be sure to get the USB 2 (backwards compatible) cable.
I was also able to import my Illustrator (8) created logo and paste (special) it into the CD label software and print onto the CD. Really a great printer for an artist who has to run a business to promot my art!

I've created an audio book and instead of paying someone else to imprint the CDs, I wanted to be able to do them myself, at my convenience, and/or upon the sale of a CD.

When I first set up the printer, the disc printed fine but I had a hard time with the case wrapper which was full color. The colors were streaking and seemed over-saturated with too much magenta. But, alas, it WASN'T THE PRINTER's fault. I did clean the heads, however, and then I changed my print settings from CMYK to RGB. This great little desktop printer then polished the job off accurately.

I'm impressed that for such a small amount of money I can have the ability to create my own labeling right here beside me and they look so professional!! And the CD case wrappers? Wow!

I have two other printers, both HP - a B&W laser and an oversized tabloid-sized printer. The last little desktop printer was a Canon and it's been in the closet (I'm sure all dried up and obsolete) for many years. The electronic features on the Stylus R320 amazed me. With an LCD screen onboard, it's so easy to program. And, the separate ink cartridges are a plus. I just spent $58 for a color combination cartridge for the oversized printer, but now when this one runs low on one particular color, I can replace it for only $13 at the computer store.

Hats off to Epson for this model. I hope to enjoy it through many many customers. Yipppeeee.

I purchased this printer primarily to print my digital photos. I am amazed at the quality of the prints when done on Epson's photo paper. Directions for the installation were very easily understood and went without a hitch. I definetely recommend this printer.

I just purchased this photo printer a few days ago. I am blown away by the quality, speed, and ease of use. I am a previous owner of an Epson Stylus 925 ( I do not recommend buying this one, problems with the paper feed), but decided to buy the Epson R320 photo printer when I saw the reviews from this site and other sites. This printer is so much faster than my other Epson and the quality of the images are a world of a difference. I highly recommend this printer. Don't waste your money on other printers. This printer is definitely worth every penny. The best bang for the buck. Epson does not consider this a high end printer, but I surely do. I have been into digital photography for three years and have never seen anything like what this printer can do. I have a hard time giving products five starts because I usually find something wrong, but this time is an exception. Keep up the great work Epson.
