I recently bought a new laptop with Vista. When I bought my laptop, I took advantage of a promotion to receive a free Epson printer and bought the CX5000 which was free after the 79.99 rebate.
I gave my husband my old RX500 and used the new CX5000. Mistake. The CX5000 did not print pictures near as nice as my old RX500 and the pictures had a matte finish even when printed on glossy paper. I also noticed that the CX5000 used ink like crazy! I told my husband to bring my old printer home and gave him the CX5000. He only uses it for text copies anyway. However, I could not get my old RX500 to work with Vista and set out to find a new all in one that I would like as much as my old one. I'm very picky and expected this to be a hard task.
Before looking for a new printer, I did find out that the CX series only has 4 cartridges. The RX series has 6 cartridges. I read about this printer on Epson's site and read reviews of a few other Epson printers on Amazon and decided to give the RX595 a shot. It was on sale at Comp USA for $99 which is a pretty reasonable price. I took my SD card and some paper and went to try it out. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the prints straight from my card. The color was great, the picture did not look like it had a flat matte finish and they printed relatively fast and very quite too! I bought it and hoped that I would be just as satisfied once I got it home and unpacked.
I have not been disappointed. I find myself looking for things to print just so I can see how nice they look. I have also used the burn feature for printing labels to CD/DVD's a few times and am pleased with those results as well. My ink levels are still almost full and I've printed at least 20 4x6's and 2 8x10's plus printed a few text pages.
This is a really great printer! It's quite, fast, and prints beautiful pictures. The ability to burn a label on a CD/DVD is nice too. The only slight complaint that I have is that there does not seem to be a place to store the insert used to place the CD/DVD in when burning a label. Other than that, I could not be happier with this printer. It's the best replacement I could have picked for "Old Faithful" my RX500. |

We LOVE this printer!! I have not seen an inkjet printer yet that performs like this one. We have had 2 HPs and one Lexmark over the past 5 years, and had just bought a Canon MX700 that we returned within 30 days due to poor print quality and issues with the fax. This Epson printer far exceeded our expectations and blew us away. The photo prints are beautiful and are as good as professional prints, it is truly lightning fast, comes with software that doesn't crash or bog down your computer (pay attention, HP), is easy to install, robust, and intuitive to use. We are actually having a lot of fun with this and learning new things about it every day.
I recommend getting the Epson paper. We tried the Canon 4x6 glossy paper for photos and although it was OK, the Epson paper was noticibly better. We bought glossy and ultra-glossy 4 x 6 paper, and in the printer box they throw in some full size 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of Epson glossy. It may be that it is manufactured to optimize their particular printers, but it really does make a difference. The photos retain a really glossy, professional look to them.
There is a new kind of ink for this printer (Claria ink). It creates beautiful prints, dries immediately, and best of all, lasts a lot longer than the last generation of Epson ink (we also have a CX9400 with fax, which is also great, but it has the DuraBrite ink which does not last as long).
In addition to printing, it has great scanning software that allows you to scan to pdf, among other things. There is also a web-to-page print software feature you can install that lets you print web pages without getting the right border and bottom cut off, which frequently happens.
Tips: Turn off anti-virus software before installing it. The first few prints/photos will not have the best quality while the printer is being primed. We saw some faint banding streaks on the first photos. However after cleaning the nozzles and running through another 8 - 10 prints, everything looked great.
Exceptionally impressive printer for this price, and a great value. I don't think there's anything else out there that compares with this. |
Great Printer for the Money

I love this printer. It allows me to scan photos. Then I can take that same photo and make it as a cd cover. By being able to print directly onto cd-printable discs, I no longer lose my precious moments of my children and family. I now exactly what's on the disc using the provided software to create great cd covers. We make dvd covers too. It's the best printer for the price and you can print on cds or dvds that look professional. This photo printer also prints some amazing pictures too with the hidef claria ink. Installation was a breeze. Follow the directions and you can't go wrong.
I would definately recommend this printer to everyone who is looking for high quality photos and the added bonus of printing on cd or dvd that no other manufacturer can provide. |

| What an amazing printer! I was printing out high quality photos half hour after opening the box. Printed out a bunch of photos and some school projects, and it is still showing high levels of ink. Using the Epson Photo paper makes a huge difference. Tried to print one photo on Kodak paper and the ink wouldn't dry. That might be why some people are complaining about the Epson using so much ink. My only complaint is that the unit is slightly bigger than the Dell All-In-One I was replacing. But it is worth the extra space for the quality it gives. |
Great printer!

| I got this printer a couple weeks ago, and so far, I love it. Installation was very easy. I bought an all-in-one because I wanted to be able to scan documents into PDF form for easy emailing. But now that I have it, I also use it to scan old color photos that I no longer have the negative for. The scan quality is great. I love that it scans directly onto my photo memory card and I can use that to transfer the PDF or JPG file quickly to another computer. Printing is fast and terrific. The only thing that remains to be seen is how long the ink lasts. With my last Epson printer, the ink dried out very quickly. But so far, I am very satisfied! |
