Epson or Canon -- Which Printer is Best? Which one can be recommended best?

Well being in the same boat as you. I have found out a couple of things about each of the printers. I own an older Epson, so most of the problems I have had have been Ink (drying/clogging) issues. So from the reviews that is still a problem with newer Epson, however If you print more than one picture a month it is probably not a problem. The Canon (again reading the reviews) seems to be very good, but has some quality issues (may break within a couple of weeks). That being said, I would still go with the Canon, only I would buy it from Best Buy with their electronics agreement (repair or replace with new). The Canon and Epson warranties will also repair or replace with a refurbished unit. My 2 pennies. Of course the Best Buy thing would work for the Epson as well.

It seems to work well on all I have tried to print thus far. I use other printers for printing my professional work for clients. I use a Canon iPF 6100 for large prints. This uses archival inks in tanks--expensive but last longer than Epson inks!

I have a Canon MG5220 inkjet printer and the image quality is fine. However, if you're looking for stunning photo-quality prints, I'd suggest picking up actual photo paper (my preference is glossy).

sorry，i dont know other two except Epson Pro 3880，this one is my professor recommended us to buy，lots of my classmates use this one， maybe this one's colors are vivid， and also big enough， can print more size paper. I hope my answer will help you.

I am afraid you will never get close to photo quality using an inkjet on plain paper. The Epson is a spectacular performing inkjet + all in one machine, but no inkjet I am aware of is going to give you super color and especially blacks on plain paper. In fact you are just going to saturate the paper making a big mess. I would try to find some inexpensive photo paper. Don't forget you are going to pay quite a lot for ink............don't skimp too much on the paper or you'll be unhappy.

No longer available, Epson 700 has disc printing capability for $ 100. Plus it prints and scans too

James,I am trying to decide between the canon 830 AiO and the epson artisian 800. If you look at the negative comments both printers receive high marks for being ink pigs!have you tried more pages with the epson? is it still using as much ink? I wish thw=ere was some way to tell which printer is worse.

Not really, but at the time I bought the Epson, I did a lot of on line research and it had the beat reviews and Consumer Reports liked it the best of the "picture printing only" copiers. I have had mine two or three years with no problems and still like it. Hope this helps.

I have used 2 Epson Artisan 50 Printers & they work great on CD's or DVD's. I will probably purchase another Epson Artisan 50 when the one I have now stops working. It uses independent ink cartridges which are much less in cost. Thanks for your help

I am sorry that I cannot answer your question. I sold the Epson printer seven months ago, and all I can say now is that the printer's performance did not meet my expectations. Perhaps it works well for others. Good luck.

I just recently traded up to a HP Officejet, but my Epson served me well for years and yes, it will on default save your scanned photo as a JPG. You can also save it as a TIFF if you want to.

You can easily google to find the right model. But I would not recommend EPS brand even though it is cheap because it leaves black marks on paper. After the experience, I bought Brother brand and it prints with no problem. I do not want to save money to ruin the printer. Just wanted to share my experience.

I don't know what printer is recommended, but we use an HP Deskjet F4180 All-In-One, and haven't had any issues!

agreed 100 % about HP. They are said to be the "best printers out there" but a year 3 months later it is sitting in the trash. I just bought a canon so we will see how it goes. :)
