--Has any body have an experience with Epson C82?
11 ppm in color and 5760x1440 dpi for $149 sound too good to be
true...
Please advice.
Thanks
Leon

Leon, you can do a search on this forum and find additional info.
I just bought a C82 5 days ago. I really like it. It is, as other
posts mention, really an all-around printer. It does photos well,
primarily on non-glossy photo paper but is not designed as a "photo
printer". I use it mainly for text and for photos on plain, matte
or bright white paper that are not "savers" or of really high
quality. I now use an Epson Stylus Photo 870 for my "real" photo
printing. It gives me really great, high quality prints.
Don't get me wrong, the C82 is everything I hoped it to be and
more. It prints good ++ photos but the depth and overall quality
for pictures is not as good as printers designed primarily as photo
printers. If you want a top-quality photo printer, you might want
to research the Epson Stylus Photo 960. It will be available
during the first part of next month but there is info about it in
this forum and elsewhere on the web. Look for the Epson Stylus
Photo 950, too. It is basically the same printer and is already
being sold in Europe. You can find reviews about it. Everything I
have read about this printer is really good. It will have a retail
price of $350. Hope this is of some value to you.

Thank you very much, Wayne.
You gave me great info.
Thanks a lot again.

I just got the C82 last night and a few observations so far:
1. Definite "bronzing" on glossy paper.
2. Much less colorful than the Epson 740 it replaces. (At least on
glossy.)
3. Paper "explodes" into the printer, but the printing process is
much faster and quieter than my old 740.
4. It prints color non-photos (web pages, etc) very nicely on
Epson's extra-white paper.
5. Photo quality other than color appears as good as or better than
the 740.
Remember, of course, the 740 is a couple of generations old by now
and wasn't a photo printer (just 4-ink), so doesn't set the bar
that high. On the other hand, I've had quite a few people who were
impressed with 8x10's from the 740, and the 740 used non-pigment
inks which I gather are brighter.
I will try this. I just got some Epson Matte Paper - Heavyweight and just love the look. I guess I've just been a fan of glossy because that's what looked best with the old 740. But matte has much more depth to the picture, I think. (I got it for $12 for 50 sheets at Microcenter.)If you want to use your C82 for glossy type prints, I strongly
recommend Epson Premium Semigloss. You'll get your best results
IMO on this paper if you want a glossy look to your prints.
Actually, with the matte paper, it does a very decent job. As I said, I had people who really liked the photos I did on the old 740 and put up on the wallwell. Does a decent job for the occasional photo you might print
(again, keep in mind it was NOT designed with photo printing in
mind).
Cool, so I stepped up to a higher pedigree while spending about half as much money as before. Sometimes the march of technology is good, eh?Btw, the C82 replaces the C80, which replaced the 880/980 which,
going back farther, replaced the 860 (model up from the 740). The
740 was replaced by the 777, then the C60 and now the C62.

I'll try the Premium Semigloss to see how that looks, too. Thanks!
