What Reviews say about 'Epson 3800' ?



accurate color prints

Epson Stylus Pro 3800:CNet

The bottom line: Epson's least expensive pro-series printer yet, the Stylus Pro 3800 is sure to dominate among pros, prosumers, and big-spending amateurs alike.

great printer

Epson Stylus Pro 3800 large-format photo printer:pcadvisor

Setup is quick and easy: the cartridges snap into place, and the driver installation is simple. Colours are rich and vibrant, even on glossy paper, which often presents a problem for pigment inks. The Epson Stylus Pro 3800's black and white prints were exceptional - and exhibited no color shifts (or metameric failure) - when printed on fibre and fine art papers. *

great product

Epson Stylus Pro 3800 large-format printer:macworld

Colors are rich and vibrant, even on glossy paper, which often presents a problem for pigment inks. Long-lasting prints. Setup is quick and easy: the cartridges snap into place, and the driver installation is simple. Large-capacity ink cartridges.. Switching between matte and photo papers wastes ink.. *

flexible printer driver

Epson Stylus Photo R800:CNet

The bottom line:
This excellent printer cedes its Editors' Choice crown to the Canon iP8500 but remains a great choice for photo enthusiasts despite some finicky printhead behavior.

What Reviews say about 'Samsung CLP-315 ' ?



this printer is compact and easy to fit into a small office.

Samsung CLP-315:CNet

The Samsung CLP-315 is relatively light on dimensions and rather pleasing to look at. Compared to other color lasers on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $200.. *

reasonably good output quality

Samsung CLP-315:PCMAG

Graphics output is more than good enough for any business need, with crisp edges and vibrant color. *

Higher cost per page

Samsung CLP-315W:CNet.com

The Samsung CLP-315W is a fancy looking wireless laser printer with a clean design and small footprint, but the output quality is unacceptable and the blisteringly slow speeds will have you searching for other options.

smallest and lightest color laser

All of which makes it excellent for printing marketing documents with a mix of text, graphics, and photos. *

What Reviews say about 'HP K550' ?



The 250-sheet paper tray is low for business use

Hewlett-Packard Officejet Pro K550 color ink jet printer:howstuffworks

Output quality is excellent for text, line art, and grayscale images. Photo quality is average to slightly above average. The four ink cartridges and two print heads are easy to install, even if the illustrations in the set-up guide are a little confusing. Four buttons on the left front side of the printer let you know when an individual ink cartridge is getting low, so you won't run out in the middle of a print job. *
