Awesome upgrade from HP - Apple IOS users READ THIS!!
By Drew
TRUE AIRPRINT COMPATIBILITY:
Bought this
printer today. So far so GREAT! Opened the box to find a yellow sheet titled:
"Attention AirPrint Users". It then explains that to enable AirPrint capability
install the latest firmware available from Epson's website. My first though was
"WOW", I thought only HP printers had this capability. So OK, I'll bite. I
installed the printer on MAC OSX Lion without any problems at all. Flawless. So
then the firmware upgrade. This part always makes me a little nervous but the
Epson step-by-step instructions were very clear. Firmware upgrade take about
10-15 minutes and remember DON'T turn it off or unplug it during this process.
Once the firmware was upgraded I went to an email on my iPhone, clicked the
AirPrint button, then Print, and EPSON Airtisan 730 shows up, along with a
selector for the number of copies, and single/double sided (on/off). I hit Print
and sure enough out comes my complete email. I then check Safari and iBooks and
yes, it will print from those natively as well. No EPSON or third party app
required. So, you ask what's the big deal? Well the deal is that nowhere on the
Epson website or on the box does it mention printing compatibility with
AirPrint. I even went to Apple's official list of AirPrint printers and it's not
yet listed there either, just HP.
Artisan 725 VS 730
I had been
looking at the Artisan 725 and couldn't find much product information on the
differences on this newer model. Here's what I've come up with so far:
1.
Very slightly high print speeds, but not enough for anyone to notice.
2.
Difference in droplet size. Fixed size on the 725, 5 sizes on the 730.
3.
Front panel. 725 has a bit of a clunky button arrangement to hold/release the
front panel up at an angle. The 730 does away with that and replaces it with a
nice, smooth friction-type design.
4. Appearance. 725 is all black. 730 has
some dark blue accents around the top.
Printing
I've printed a few
pages and a few photos. So far, faster than my old HP C6380 and better quality.
Scanning
Nice, high resolution at much higher speeds than my old HP
as well.
I'll update this review as I get more time on this printer. But
until then it gets two thumbs up.

Swiss Army Knife Family Printer
By A.
Thompson
I've had Epson printers for about 10 years. They can provide
years of brilliant photo quality prints, but can also be painfully frustrating.
Time will tell how this new printer fits on that continuum.
This thing is
huge. It takes up almost twice as much real estate as my Brother 2270 laser. The
duplexer hanging off the back adds about 4 inches to the depth.
It has lots
of surprising bells and whistles. Whether you need all that is up to you. More
on that later.
The wireless setup was the best I've seen. Turn it on, it
detects the network. Enter your SSID right on the panel, and your done. After
that, setup on both XP and W7 machines went without a hitch.
The color
printing by Epson is excellent. It makes Dye Sub printers just about obsolete.
These'Claria' inks are dye based, but are supposed to have great UV resistance.
I'll leave a photo in the Sun and let you know in 20 years.
Initial tests on
photo printing are astounding. I use Kirkland Glossy Photo paper, best photo
print mode, high-speed turned off. I compared it with a print (same photo) from
Winkflash on Fuji paper. It was as sharp, or sharper. The blacks are blacker
with more pop. It could use a little more saturation in the yellow and magenta.
But without any tweaking, the profile is pretty much dead on.
I haven't
said anything bad yet. What's not to like?
The only negative specific to
this printer so far is the paper tray. It seems flimsy and complex. There
appears to be no way to manually feed paper, so card stock probably won't work.
Also, if you want to run a couple of sheets of full size photo paper, you have
to replace all the paper. Or, put in 1 more sheet than you need on top of your
regular stock. Otherwise it will snag on the last one and double feed, with
disastrous results.
My general beef with Epson is their notorious ink
costs. Epson has spent a lot of time and money in courts trying to make sure you
can only buy their ink cartridges, with limited success. Instead of selling at
competitive prices, they would rather sue. To me that's like Ford saying you can
only buy Ford gasoline.
If you do a lot of printing, you can spend a lot on
ink. However, I've found inksupply.com to be a great source to ease that pain.
If you don't use the colors regularly, the head can clog. They don't make
cleaning the print head easy for you. They could make it pop out for easy
cleaning and replacement, if they wanted to. A basic head cleaning cycle wastes
a lot of ink and doesn't always work. That's when you start looking for the 2 lb
sledge. I'm hoping these dye based inks are less likely to clog due to their
smaller particle size.
Now for all those features. They really designed
this printer as 'family-friendly'. They don't seem to be marketing it that way,
though.
Duplex: Pretty handy if you do a lot of plain text printing. It
is cool the way it prints the top side, then slurps the page back in to do the
other side.
Scanner: The scanner is very accurate, and I've always liked the
EpsonScan software. It's powerful, yet simple. You can mess with the settings,
or just pop it in and do a quick scan to your desktop.
Copier: Really
impressive copies. I couldn't distinguish between a print and a copy of the
print. Try copying something with colored tape or similar on the original.
You'll think you can peel the tape off the copy!
SD card slot: Print without
the computer. I would never want to do that, but you can.
Print from your
smart phone: There's an app for that. Reviews on the Android app are mixed so
far. I haven't tried it yet, but it will useful, I'm sure.
Now for the
family stuff:
CD printing: That could come in handy if your distributing
wedding photos or something. You can also print a jewel case for your bootleg
REM CD.
Coloring Book: Strange thing to build into a printer, instead of the
software. You can only do it from an SD card or the scanner. But it will be fun
for the kiddies.
Lines and Graphs: Make your own notebook paper and graph
paper. Why no built in 3 hole punch?
Greeting card: Again, it seems this
would be a sofware feature, but it's firmware on the printer.
I'm sure
there's more features too numerous to tell.
I can't give it 5 stars yet
until we see how it fares over time. But the engineering and design seem solid
(if a little weird as noted). This printer does a lot, and it does it extremely
well.
I will post some photos, and if I can find a way to make this
review even longer, I will at a later date.
Edit 10/22/11: I've done a
couple more full size photo prints. I'm almost out of 2 colors. But ohhh the
sweet reproduction of color. I did a collage of some old photos using the copier
function. One photo has a red ink mark. Another has a pushpin hole. For a second
I thought the copy had a hole in it! The red ink mark looks like someone just
swiped a pen across it. Also, I did borderless 8.5 x 11 and there was no
smearing at the edges. Amazing reproduction. I was also pleased at the speed
increase over the old EpsonScan software. Everything worked flawlessly.
Gotta go buy some ink...

Fantastic Photos, Easy Set-Up
By
Librarian
Advisory: I did not test every feature of this printer. I
will update review when I have tested printing from an SD card and a USB drive.
I do not have Smart Phone so will not be testing Airprint feature. Not sure if I
will be testing the CD printing feature.
Pros:
*Set-up was a piece
of cake. I had to use the printer's interface to set up the wireless as I did
not have the right size USB cable, but printer found my network without a
problem. I have a Netgear router & Dell Inspiron Laptop running Vista.)
Entering the password was somewhat like texting on my mobile phone but I had no
issues. I was printing within 30 minutes after I began opening the box.
*Black text printing looks good. Very fast.
*Scanner worked fine; no
problem.
*Photos were astounding!!! Printer uses 6 ink cartridges which
probably accounts for the vivid colors. I printed 3 photos right after set-up
using glossy photo paper. One photo was from a low-resolution file. All came out
great.
*Paper tray holds both regular paper & photo paper. You don't
have to change the paper out.
Cons:
*Depending on your needs, this
printer might be a bit bulky. It weighs more than 20 lbs. so will not fit where
my other printer was. However, it is geared for light commercial usage such as a
home business so bulk/wgt. is probably appropriate for that class.
*Will not
print at all if any one of the ink cartridges is empty. This, for me, is one of
the serious drawbacks to Epson printers. My other Epson is the same way &
it's really inconvenient as I do a lot more text printing than color printing.
*Unless you need high-quality color prints or other color materials like
brochures, six ink cartridges is hard on the budget. But, if money is not a
concern and you want to be able to print your photos when you want, then this
printer is top-drawer.
*Paper tray is light-weight plastic that feels
flimsy. You have to be very careful when pulling it out or in.
*No fax
capability. Not a problem for me but might be for some.
I will update
this review when I have had the printer a few more months and have tested the SD
& USB features.
