Epson Stylus Colour 680

I tell you, you would not believe the amount of time I spent umming and arrging about which printer to buy myself. I have spent many a long hour browsing away at online shops, trying to find the best deal, and many miles walking around computer stores trying to find an elusive special offer. You'd think it would be easy for me to make a decision, as in my job you can't afford to be indecisive, but it has taken me about 4 months to finally decide which printer to buy! I'm normally very good at shopping and find spending money very, very easy indeed. But if I'm spending over £50 it takes me ages to decide what to buy. So how did I finally come ...  Read the complete review

I bought an Epson 680 inkjet printer recently to replace my Epson 440. I needed something that was quicker, quieter and gave higher quality prints. This printer is brilliant in these respects. These days you get a lot of printer performance for your money. This cost just £99.99 but has the best specification in it's class:- Up to 2880 dpi Up to 8 pages per minute output Near photo quality output Parallel port or usb connection I'm very impressed with the high speed and high quality of output. Up to 2880 dpi can be had when using coated photo paper. The printer is very easy to set up, the drivers and Epson printer monitor ...  Read the complete review

I initially ordered an Epson stylus color 4-something. Imagine my glee when, upon delivery, I tore open the boxes to discover that they had upgraded my printer to the 680 "at no extra cost" to me! WHOOPEEE! Apparently it printed faster. Great. Well the printer comes with a multi language manual. Fortunately it's the good kind, where all the English section is together, rather than spaced out. In addition to this, it comes with a clearly diagramed quick start up guide, which was very useful for me. The printout tray doubles up as a dust cover, and just three buttons control the lot, making it easy to use. But, there ...  Read the complete review

Having bought this now pretty old printer fundamentally due to its price, I have been really impressed with the actual quality. Printing in 'Econofast', '360dpi', '700dpi' or even '1400dpi', this printer is certainly very versatile. The top resolution, 1400dpi is greater than that of many more expensive models currently available, and is excellent for printing off photos etc. Having said that, sometimes the detail is a bit muddy, so for someone wanting to use it purely for high-res graphics a higher specification printer would be better. Speed is moderate - obviously with the photo-quality setting taking ...  Read the complete review

I decided to write this opinion after experiencing dissatisfaction from purchasing the Epson 680 inkjet printer. When buying my most recent pc, I wanted a printer as part of the bundle. I had, had an Epson 600 inkjet printer from some years now an had been very pleased with it, it was strong, reliable and gave a good print quality at acceptable speeds. So when asked what printer I would like, with no hesitation I chose the new Epson 680 thinking it was to generation above mine (640 and 680) I though that there would be an improvement, and if there wasn’t then as long as it was as good as my 600 then I would be happy. But no suck luck, I ...  Read the complete review
