Advantages: Good quality, reasonably priced

Disadvantages: Not as fast as quoted

The Epson Stylus Color 740 was the not the most expensive preinter on the market nor was it the most expensive Epson printer on the market but it caught my eye because of its reletively low cost in comparison to some of the other brands and even some of the other Epsons.

I have not seen it print at the stated speed even at low Quality but the quality overall is very good, it can manage photos on photo quality paper that look really life like even though the printer is not part of its photo range.

Ink refils are not cheap but they aren't for any inkjet printer really, so you cant really call it a down side.

I have no problems with things sticking or the print quality dying, due to streaky ink or lines in the pictures. I do however use the cleaning utilites that come with the printer reguarly, so that may help alot.

It comes with Epson Stylus monitor 2 which checks the print staus and keeps track of how much ink is in the cartridge when you are printing.
