I bought the Epson Photo R320 mostly because I need to print onto CDs for my business. It does a great job of that, although a bit slow at 2.5 minutes per CD. I only printed one photo so far. It is absolutely spectacular at printing photos with it's Print Image Matching technology.But, one issue with any Epson is the ink cost. It goes through ink fast. I heard other people saying things like the ink cartridges are so expensive, it is like buying a new printer every time they need ink. Here is a tip, I found a lot of continuous ink feed systems available for Epson printers on the web that will allow you to print over 1000 4x6 prints for very little. I found some nice kits on eBay for around $80, with refill ink prices of $40 per set to refill their large tanks. There is also a lot of people selling sponge-free refillable ink tanks, which is what I bought. So, ink prices are no longer an issue to keep anyone away from Epson printers.I now printed 300 CDs and am still using the ink cartridges that came with the printer. Some irritating things that I noticed so far: Loading the CDs has some software errors sometimes. When you load the CD, the machine pushes the CD carrier out by about a 0.25 inch. This action sometimes throws the machine for a loop and sends the carrier right out the back of the machine. No harm, but irritating to have to reload it sometimes and have the carrier hit the wall unexpectedly. Another issue is that the CD carrier sometimes has issues loading and requires a slight push to get it through some rollers. The issues don't happen very often, and it still prints the CDs with perfection each time so far.Now, searching the Internet yeilded some interesting information. I heard the unit has an waste ink reservior monitor that disables the printer with a service lock in about a year of service. Epson does this to make you return the unit for a service replacement waste sponge. Excessive ink can cause a fire when if hits the power supply. It costs over $100 to repair. You can disable the use of the sponge by configuring an external collection bottle. There is information on the Internet on how to clear the service lock, and how to connect the external collection bottle.
