Superb, get it while you can !!
Right, before you read this, go and order one, as I write there are two left and this printer has a RRP of £200.

I never thought I would get excited about a printer, but this one is absolutely superb. I bought it mainly for printing DVD's and as a replacement for my R220. The setup is a doddle, and although I hate bloatware the applications installed with this unit are actually useful.

The very first thing I tried was printing a photo onto the supplied sample 6"x4" photo paper. The result was unbelievable, Epson actually boast that this printer produces better results than a photo labs machines.

It has a full colour, adjustable display for previewing etc and for using the printer direct ie. without a computer. It has USB/PICT input for direct connection of a suitable camera. It also has a choice of paper feeds from either the back (traditional) or from the front/underneath. You can keep paper in both (of different sizes if you wish) and just select the one to use as you print.

Ths scanner is fantastic also but the one thing I probably wont use too much, but handy to have all the same.

I have bought 'compatible' ink for £16 for a full set which isn't bad for the new V4 inks.

Ok it is a little mechanical sounding, and quite big (but not unattractive).

For this price (£89.99) you are stealing it.

Received today, set up and running within the hour.
Colour prints on plain paper ...... very good
Colour prints on inket photo paper ..... excellent
Colour prints on glossy paper ....... outstanding.
Noise level ... no problem other than a little clanking/whirring on initial setup which was hardly noticeable over the TV.
It would be extremely useful to have a 'save settings' to the pc as I find the printer screen a bit fiddly to use but apart from this minor gripe I recommend this printer wholeheartedly.
On a slight tangent, if you're familiar with SSC service utility there's no mention of the 685 yet but, fingers crossed!!!!

Epson Stylus Photo RX685
Next day delivery. Yes it is a bit noisey but only when paper is being fed prior to printing. It does rock and roll when printing but produces great photo prints. As long as it performs like this for a few years I`ll be happy. Had an Epson Stylus CX3600 prior to this and lasted about 4 years before photo paper refused to feed (6x4.) Everything else ok. So lets see what the next few years does to the RX685.
