The Print Quality Is Ok When It Works, Bit The Eps
The print quality is OK when it works, bit the Epson Stylus C82 is exorbitantly expensive to run! When one cartridge goes, you have to replace all 4. Costs about 50 sterling to do so, which is the price of a new printer. I have had this printer for 2 years. It looks brand, new but it won't work. The ink gets clogged up and the print heads stop working. It's so disappointing to have to throw this printer away, especially after having spent another 50 sterling to buy the cartridges, because I thought this might have been the problem. It wasn't, and Epson should be ashamed of themselves.

The Epson C82 Is Very Poorly Designed And The Make
The Epson C82 is very poorly designed and the maker should know better. Epson also responds to problems by telling you to ring a premium rate telephone number.

This was my 2nd (and now last) Epson printer. The Epson C82 started out as a good printer but after about six months, its given me nothing but bad prints. Never again Epson!!!

Don't Buy An Epson C82. Spend Your Money On Someth
Don't buy an Epson C82. Spend your money on something else.The print heads clog up rendering it completely unsuable if not used very frequently. I have unblocked the heads more than 10 times and still it won't work. To unclog the black which is the problem, I have had to put a new colour cartridge in and having had it condemmed as unrepairable I am not best impressed. Expensive white elephant

My Epson C82 Inkjet Printer Worked Fine For The Fi
My Epson C82 inkjet printer worked fine for the first set of ink cartridges. Soon after changing them with new Epson cartridges, I started having problems. I have had to dismantle the printer and attach the ink tube 2 times (not exactly the easiest task), and now the latest problem is clogged print heads. This printer cannot sit not used for a week. You are forced to print something every week (maybe this is a marketing plan by Epson to increase their revenues) or else the print heads clog up. I am using Epson ink, so generic ink is not the issue. I have just brushed the dust off my old Canon printer and started using it. It had the old ink cartridge from a year ago and it worked without an issue.
I wouldn't recommend buying an Epson printer to anyone...

Just Don't Run Out Of Ink On Your Epson C82 Printe
Just don't run out of ink on your Epson C82 printer or it becomes a paper weight. Even after cleaning the print heads and spending $100.00 Canadian on ink cartridges it still didn't work. This is very disappointing considering how well my Epson Stylus 850 has performed over the last 6 years.

The Epson C82 Is Easy To Use, Prints Good Digital
The Epson C82 is easy to use, prints good digital images.
On the downside, expensive to replace ink and unless I'm missing something - all cartridges had to be replaced even to print in black and white.
Noisy when switched on but otherwise fairly quiet. Did it's job for the time it was working.

I Seem To Have Had The Same Experience As Other Re
I seem to have had the same experience as other reviewers.
I have had my Epson Stylus C82 printer for just over 2 years. I have found it noisy and expensive on ink. When I changed the magenta cartridge one day, it stopped printing in colour. Then when the black cartridge went, it stopped printing altogether. Technical support didn't seem at all surprised. The printer does not have heavy use by any means, and because of this I consider its lifespan has been very short.

Epson - The Disposable Printer Company. I Bought
Epson - the disposable printer company. I bought 3 Epsons 2 years ago - one CX5200 for home use, one C82 for school, and another C82 as a birthday gift for a friend. Now that school is starting and i really need at least one to work, they all print blank pages. Coincidence or junk? You be the judge. We'll switch to HP, or Canon, or Fisher Price...anything but Epson!
I too purchased two C82s and another All in one- (All Epson Brand). I too have had problems with the Epson C82s. It may have just been the model. One of the C82 was replaced under warranty. I later bought the R200 for home use. That works great! The all in one is still working. It came from HP printers. The reason why I switched to Epson was because of poor customer service on HP's end. Both companies will have printers that may have faults, but which company is the one to respond with better customer service? I got the run around with HP. Epson has been pretty good to me so far. I'm in the market today to replace one of the C82s. I called Epson to try to resolve the problem, but to no avail. However, I also called HP about a recall on my last HP printer, and the customer service rep was incomprehensible; not only could i not understand him, but he could not understand me! After frustration, I just told him that he didn't understand my question, and I hung up. I'm sticking with Epson.
I don't complain much, but man, I will never buy an Epson product again. The print quality on my C82 was quite good, even on photographs, but that's where my praise ends. The ink cartridges were expensive, and whether you used the ink or not, you had to replace the cartidges in 6 months or the ink dried and clogged the print heads. I bought my Epson in 10/03 and in 8/05, it stopped printing color. I had an extended warranty through Best Buy, so I brought it there and they sent it to Miami. Today is March 7, 2006 and I have not received the printer. The cartridges came back in the mail about a month ago, but the printer is "lost" according to Best Buy. My advice is go with HP, although I have also had pretty good luck with my black-and-white laser printer by Dell.

Epson C82 Printer. I Agree With Most
Epson C82 Printer.
I agree with most reviewers. Print costs are high.
My print heads have just clogged. Epson said to clean them six times, and in doing so, it has used up half of the ink, and still didn't fix the problem.
Don't buy one if you intend to use it infrequently.
