Epson Artisan 800 Review

The Epson Artisan 800 is a great printer.  Of all the printers I've had, this is definately the best one by far.  The quality and speed of the printer is extremely good, and it prints/scans fast.  What's great is that it is also a wireless device, so the laptops of my house can access it too.  It has a card reader for direct printing and is able to be used as a faxing device as well.

I like how the tray is able to be pushed in or pulled out, and how the paper loader is also on the inside of the machine.  It keeps the paper from getting wrinkled or used up in school projects because it's out there in plain sight.

Another great feature is that it has a touch screen.  So it's really easy to change things on the printer as well.

One thing I'm not sure about is how fast the ink runs out.  It seems to last a moderate amount of time; we aren't major printers here at our house, but we do have papers, invitations to birthdays, maps etc to print out.  Our ink lasted about 5 months before we had to buy more; we bought new stuff at Best Buy for about $50.

Lastly, the printer itself is rather big, and takes up a good spot on the desktop, but its high quality, multiple functions and speed more than make up for that.
