Ultra-Hi Definition prints

2.5" Color Screen

Unsurpassed Print QualityThe Artisan 700 features Ultra Hi-Definition printing for crisp text documents and photos with richness, depth and clarity that satisfy even the toughest customers — professional photographers. This is made possible through Epson’s exclusive MicroPiezo print head with DX5 technology which delivers up to 5 ink droplet sizes per nozzle, as small as 1.5 picoliters, to produce exceptionally smooth gradations, amazingly accurate skin tones and sharp, grain-free photos. And Artisan all-in-ones feature 6 color Claria inks for photos that resist smudges, scratches, water and best of all, fading--lasting up to 4 times longer than prints from the lab!

Wireless and Wired NetworkingWith built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet networking, it’s easy to share one Artisan with the entire household. Artisan products support 802.11 b/g, and they’re compatible with 802.11 n. You can also use a standard Ethernet cable (included) for wired networking.

Customer Reviews

I like the printer, and I would recommend it. My only real complaint is the total cost of ownership is high. Order a set of ink at $60 when you order the printer, because within a couple weeks of starting it up, you'll need to replace them.

Pros:

1. Instructions were great for wireless install.

2. Prints quality is good.

3. Machine looks great.

4. The printer has never failed to print.

Cons:

1. 6 individual ink cartridges at $10 each, or $15 each for high capacity.

2. The printer's initial startup uses about 1/2 of the ink that ships with the printer. This is explained in the manual.

3. There is no information on the difference between the high capacity ink cartridges and the standard.

4. I don't think you'll find aftermarket Epson ink like you can with some brands.

5. Sometimes the printing takes a couple minutes to get started.

6. I get a lot of error messages, mostly "The printer has detected some print head nozzles are clogged. To help with the nozzle recovery please wait 6 hours. Then try printing again." Helpdesk's suggestion was that I go into the menu and turn off the print nozzle check. That is an odd solution, but the printer continues to print fine.

7. With the number of print errors I get, and the time it takes to start printing (sometimes), I've never felt totally comfortable with the printer. But helpdesk was responsive, and I've got the box if I need to send it back to Epson.

I ordered this for what seemed to be the perfect mix of features that would be convenient for my family (occasional copying and scanning, printing color output for the kids, and printing photos). The wireless connection feature made it possible to not clutter the family room (already home to a laser printer and desktop).

OK, it's beautiful just sitting there - but it also works like a dream. Setting it up to add it to my secured pre-N network was a breeze. Printing over the wireless network worked fine (even with my printer being 2 rooms away from my router). The output is quick, and the prints on ultra- or premium photo paper are beautiful. The included tray lets you load regular and photo paper (and just select the one you want) for printing.

The unit has a card reader, that lets you print directly from a card. A cool feature is that you can also scan directly to a card as well. For some reason, I thought it could scan across the network, but a call to (very polite) tech support confirmed that this cannot be done. The scanner seems to be a bit slower (in auto mode) than my Epson Perfection 3170, but I haven't compared it systematically.

This is perfect for a home office, and for a family with kids.
