epson 835 vs epson 840? What's the difference?
329608
The 840 is a Workforce version aimed at Businesses and has two 250 sheet paper trays, is a lot taller, has only 4 color inks (but extra high capacity cartridges are available) and the best picoliter drops are 3 Picoliters instead of the 835 1 picoliter drops.

I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same. That's the major upgrade from the 8600 as far as I can tell. The deciding factor was poor software reviews for the Epson bundle. My profession is end-user software development. There's no way I want to deal with someone's poor UI or feature set or compatibility issues. I just want to scan my family photos. I own the full Photoshop CS so I can basically clean up anything. My guess is for the average user there should be no marked difference between the scratch and dust removal capabilities or the scan densities or lightbar output. Ease of use pays off every time you start the thing up. Hope this helps. I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same.

For me, the trapezoidal top of the MX860 appears especially unaesthetic. The MX850 is by far sleeker. As they say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Among all the printers currently out on the market, the new Epson printers (Workforce 600 and Artisan 800) are perhaps the most attractively and ingeniously designed. Their tops fold inward to become ADF input and output trays. Both offer WiFi. Unfortunately, their text printing quality leaves much to be desired compared to Canon's printers.

Kathleen, I have no experience with the Epson. However, I have had remarkable success with the 9000F including its predecessor, the 9050F. The resolution of scans can be changed to fit your needs. The 9000F does not print. It sends the scans to whichever photo program you designate on your computer. You can then correct any flaws, crop, adjust color, etc. with your photo program. Hope this helps. Fritz

I have the 3010e but the 3D did not work. There were ghost images and I had to buy the Epson brand to utilize the 3D features.

In the product description below it says that it is the HC8000D-BL. I would recommend getting one of the new Sony VPL HW40ES/B or even the Epson 5030 projector. I'm not really impressed with the 8000. I've installed dozens of the 7800's and a couple 8000's. The 8000's had issues right out of the box, but the Sony's and Epson's have been perfect right out of the box.

Go Canon's site and select Products. Next select Printers. http://consumer.usa.canon.com/Place check marks next to both printers and select "Compare Now". You will see the features of each. (I tried to insert a link to the page but Amazon cut it off.)I purchased the 830 due to the print resolution in color. 9600x2480 DPI - That is double the resolution of the 780. If printing in B and W the resolutions are the same. The price is 50 dollars more for the 830. Canon will make more money from the sale of ink.

Well, as of June 2008, there is a post in the CanoScan 8600 vs. 8800 discussion by CM-Monkey (I believe is his moniker) where he reports buying the V500 and the 8800 and his side by side comparison ends with Epson V500 the winner! So, where do we go now with this discussion? I'd rather not have to buy both scanners to do a side by side comparison myself.

I have no way to compare them, but the Epson is plenty fast for my very casual light use.

MME says:Epson V 500, versus V 700 or V 750. I have a large number of photos from the late 1800, some very faded, others in quite good condition. Also size of photos varies a lot, from small to quite large. Have some slides as well. My main goal is to save and upgrade quality of old photographs, many of which I will be using in a book. My question, is the Epson V500 sufficient, or should I go for the V 700 or V750?

Thanks, Michele. I'm surprised, too by your comments about the colours. After being advised that the cartridges for the MX860 were very expensive and that the MX850 had problems connecting wirelessly, I ended up buying an Epson TX800FW. The few photos I've printed look ok to me. (I'm not a pro). It's been great to have a fax. One if its drawbacks is only one full-sized paper tray. I've yet to fully test out the machine.

Does the 820 use the same epson brand (OEM) cartridges as any of the models listed?

It's not compatible for a 610, so I would suspect it isn't for an 810, either.....as to the other answer about the Epson asking you if you want to use them anyway, my printer never asked me that

I have a 2530 and they work just fine. It tells me it is a non Epson product and I have to confirm that I want to use it.

I have the same problem with this printer. Compared to the HP I used to have, it runs through ink, but otherwise I really like the printer. In the end, though, it's going to cost me a lot more to keep using this printer and buying all the ink I'll need to. So does anyone have a recommendation for a different all-in-one printer that doesn't use ink as fast as the 830?

I have both this model and the 8300. My experience is that the toner level warning is tied to page counts, but as long as you keep igorning the warning, you can keep printing. One note though, the printer comes with cartridges that are only about 1/4 full. If you are a heavy user, you might want to plan on buying a full set shortly after you get the printer.
