Customer Reviews

Early Opinion 4.5 stars.
I only have the printer for a few days, but so far I am very pleased.
I was a bit nervous before buying because I had read a lot of complaints about an earlier model, Artisan 800, having a lot of paper jams. But the paper handling on my 810 has been flawless, if a tiny bit noisy while it pulls in the paper. The actual printing is quiet, and of great quality. The paper tray feels a bit flimsy, but is easy to remove or insert, and there's no fuss to loading your paper in it. It can expand to hold legal size paper, and has a separate area for smaller sized papers, usually for photo printing paper. The package comes with 3 sheets of Epson high quality 4x6 glossy photo paper, so I printed three photos as a test and I could not be more pleased with the photo print quality. I have been using an HP Wireless printer up until now (model 5850) and the print quality of the Artisan 810 far outstrips that HP, with much deeper blacks and dark tones, and more rich looking color, which is probably due to superior ink quality more than the printer quality. Also, they promise that their inks are acid-free and will last 3 or 4 times longer than drug-store prints. Another pre-purchase worry was that there were complaints about the Artisan 800 being a big ink-hog. Too early to tell, but I've printed those 3 photos and a fourth on plain paper, and about 25 pages of text (some with graphics) and the ink levels have not budged yet. So, so far so good on ink usage. I was surprised and pleased too that the 810 printer comes with an TWO black ink cartridges, so you'll have an extra one when it runs out. Nice! Additionally, the inks provided are the same capacity as the refills, whereas some printers I have seen came with ink cartridges that have a lower capacity. A nice feature is that when you plug in a camera memory card in the front slots, not only can you see and even crop the photos on the printer's screen, but the photos on the card can also be remotely viewed by your computer on the same wifi! Very neat. It warns on the box that this feature may not work with Mac computers, but it worked fine with my IMac. Haven't tried printing from the iPhone as they claim you can do, though I suspect I won't use that feature much. I love the big touch-screen operation too, it is pretty slick. Made a few copies of some simple pencil drawings and they were very good, and it was not obvious to tell which was the original or copy, but I haven't really tested the copier out enough as yet to give a good opinion about its copy qualities.

Almost Perfect!
When I saw the opportunity to review this Epson 810 All-in-One through the Amazon Vine program, I jumped at it. I've used All-in-ones for almost ten years, sampling a variety of printers from HP, Canon, Brother, etc. I find this printer excels in a number of areas and fails in only one.

Here's my take on it:

PROS:

1. Print quality is as good as Epson claims. Whether these prints will actually last four times longer than drugstore prints is still up for grabs -- who has years to check out this claim? Nevertheless, the text and photos are very nice indeed.

2. Although I may never use it again, the coloring book feature is fun. For families with small children, I'm sure this feature will be appreciated.

3. Being able to charge up my mp3 player from the port on the front of the printer is a nice little extra. Anytime I can avoid powering up the computer for such a small task, I'm happy. And now I have a quick way to do that.

4. I love the bright, easy to read control panel. The menu will easily take you where you need to go, such as a quick check of ink levels (again, without powering up the computer).

5. Ink usage appears to be very conservative. I've gone through a ream of paper without exhausting the standard (not high capacity) black cartridge.

6. This printer actually can use recycled paper. Over the years, I've been limited in my paper to 24 lb paper as 20 recycled paper caused repeated jams with my other printers. This feature alone will mean a reduction in my paper bills.

7. The printer includes an automatic duplexer. You do have to setup this function on printer preferences, but I enjoy using fewer sheets.

8. Included in the box was a single printable dvd. I tried making a color label, and it looks great. I'll be buying printable CDs and DVDs just for the pleasure of having nice looking disks.

9. The printer itself is good-looking and fits in well with the other equipment on my desk. No reason a printer should be ugly, is there?

CONS:

The scanner works only through a USB connection to my computer, although you can save a scan to a memory card. Why is that? Is there something special about wireless that prevents sending a scan to a computer?

UNKNOWN:

I have not used the fax because my VOIP phone service does not currently support faxing.

Overall, I'm a delighted user. This is a good printer for a family network.

Four stars!

UPDATE: November 25, 2009

I reinstalled the software, using the software downloaded from Epson. Voila! Epson Scan now appears on my desktop, and my problem is solved. If it were possible to change the number of stars, I would now award this printer five stars!

UPDATE: December 1, 2009

Here's the trick. You must start the Epson Scan from your computer, rather than from the printer (where you'll be standing when you put the photo on the scanner). Then you'll be able to receive the scan on your computer and without hitching it up to the printer directly.

Wonderful multi-function scanner/copier/printer/fax
I was looking for a quality unit to replace my old seperate laser printer and old laser fax machine. They were both just B&W, and seriously worn out, could only use one page at a time! As well, I just inheriteted a bunch of old photographs that I need to scan soon, which in turn creates the need to create custom CD's and DVD's. I finally settled on the Epson Artisan 810.

I noticed that some units are marketed as "All-In-One" but don't have fax, so buyer beware! Those have only scan, copy, and print. A true all-in-one should also include fax IMHO.

In general, I was looking for the following in a well rounded unit:
-High quality photo scanning
-Printing onto CD's directly (without a label) 4x6 and 8 1/2 x 11 photo paper
-Easy multi-page faxing
-Easily attached to a wireless network so our 6 computers can share
-Quick B&W letter printing
-Seperate ink tanks to reduce wasted cartridges
-Automatic 'duplex printing' to print out on both sides using half the psaper.
-An easy way to scan directly to email.
-Needed to look GOOD, and be usuable in seconds.
- AND to use very little electricity

The Epson 810 is a perfect match!!! It does everything we need, and does it simply and very little human input.

All funtions and interfaces are well conceived. You can be either 'PC Centric' and do everything from your PC, or you could be copier centric, and do almost everything just standing there at the copier, and get almost everything done. Very simpple controls. You even have the option to 'print' your document to the Epson FAX, which bypasses the paper and simply sends a high quality fax. Epson included a few iof these 'nicely done' features you will learn and love. There are only 2 buttons on the command panel, everything else is touch-screen as needed.

The quality is primo, the unit is simple to set up and use, and the breath of features you'll need are surprisingly complete. Well engineereed. Operating costs seem to be normal for ink-jets. The electricity is rated at $2 or less per year.

We're happy with the product.//JIM//
