- BUYER BEWARE!
This printer is terrible. I am a graphic designer. I've had the printer for about 3 years. I have hated it since I got it. Hate isn't the word... Abhor, is more like it.
It's big, SLOW, clunky, jams, misfeeds, print quality is poor, impossible to service, if you require a RIP software, the printer isn't compatible with XP, ME or 2000.
To those of you who gave it a good review: Check your head...
I don't know what you are using it for.

- Don't let anyone give you one for free
This is quite possibly the worst printer ever made in all printer history. The color is horrible, it jams the paper every other print, slow as mollasses, impossible to service, and just generally looks bad. The roller-arms are spaced so that they never take its own specially priced paper straight into the feeder. Ink Cleanings usually last for two prints on most minimal print settings, then degrade into splotchy lined garbage. Makes the most horrible noises when printing and death rattles when jammed or confused. Don't let anyone give you one even for free. and for heavan's sake, don't actually spend money on one. I have two, one for parts, and the other for parts backup, as both are equally on their way to a trash heap in South America where orphan childern can beat the living daylights from its horrible plastic casing. If negative stars were available for review, this product would deserve them.

- 2 words: Garbage
2 words: Feeder Failure.
May take 10 or more tries to get the very expensive paper to feed correctly. Then, it might just decide that it doesn't want to print any more and eject halfway. MANY wasted sheets!

2 words: Broken Brain
The software for this thing is awful.
The MAC RIP software is, without a doubt, the worst software ever unleashed on the public. Can't even begin to explain, it just doesn't work and crashes constantly.

2 words: No Support.
Where are the fixes???

2 words: Don't Buy!!!

I have owned and used my Epson 3000 printer for nearly two years now with great results. At the time of purchase, it was the only printer available in its size range, which was its selling point for me. After recently converting it over to archival pigmented inks (Generations ProPhoto Inks from mediastreet.com) and creating a custom profile for the new inks, I can honestly say that I get better color from this printer than from my Epson 2000P. I do use the 3000 with an old PC with Windows 98 since there isn't a suitable driver for Windows XP. For those having trouble getting paper to feed in correctly, try feeding it in from the back. This works especially well with glossy photo paper, which does tend to misfeed from the front. This printer is regularly used to make 16x24 inch display prints originating from a Canon EOS-1Ds, and the results are amazing with vibrant, realistic colors and sharp detail. The only real problem I've ever had is occasional very slight banding, but this really isn't noticeable 95% of the time. Hopefully the new Epson 4000 will do an even better job, but the drawback there will be having to buy seven or even eight colors of ink instead of the four used by the 3000.

- Printer won't work with Windows XP!
As a graphics designer this has been a good printer for me. It makes beautiful prints. The only drawback is that Epson has not decided to join the rest of us in the 21st Century. If you would like an expensive nice desktop printer, this is the one for you. However, if you do graphic design and require a StylusRIP Adobe Level 2 Postscript Driver...here's a newsflash...This printer is NOT XP compatible. In fact it's not Windows ME, or Windows 2000 compatible. There are no postscript drivers for anything higher than Windows 95/98. After several days of trying to speak to a human at Epson's Tech Support, I finally spoke to someone, and gleaned that they are in no hurry to advance with the times. At some point in the future they plan to develop an XP compatible StylusRIP driver. After a great expense and effort, I upgraded my office system and software to Windows XP. Because I had to have a RIP, I was forced to revert everything back to Windows 98. My bad! I should have checked, but I assumed that a company as large as Epson would be as progressive as the rest of us. All in all, I still like this printer. I am hoping that they will get on the ball soon.
