Amazon.com Product Description

Great for printing both photos and text-based documents, Epson's Stylus C64 is affordable, fast, and engineered for quality. With Epson's water-resistant, light-resistant, and smudge-resistant DURABrite inks and 177 nozzles (monochrome plus color), the C64 can print black text at 17 pages per minute, color sheets at 9 ppm, and 8-by-10-inch color photos in under five minutes each. The printer's 5,760 optimized dpi ensures photo-quality clarity and detail for your bordered or borderless pictures, text, or graphics. Of course, higher-quality settings result in longer print times.

For photos, DURABrite photo paper gives amazing prints with vibrant color, fine detail in highlight and dark areas and smooth graduations. For everyday printing, you can enjoy the same exceptional quality on plain or recycled papers. Due to the special nature of Epson DURABrite inks, you can print on both sides of the paper without fear of leak-through or page wrinkle, and you can handle prints as soon as they're printed. Epson's Variable-sized Droplet Technology produces and controls ink-droplet size (with a 4-picoliter minimum) to maximize both quality and print speed.

The C64 supports several paper types, including plain paper, premium semi-gloss, and DURABrite photo paper, as well as large-format sizes up to 10 by 15 inches. Convenient individual ink cartridges make ink replacement simple and cost-effective, and USB connectivity facilitates quick setups on both Windows and Macintosh computers. Included Photo Quicker v3.4 software simplifies photo editing and print management, and the C64 is backed with a one-year warranty that includes the Epson exchange program.

1 out of 5 stars Stay away from this printer (Epson Stylus C64).......2007-01-01

The first Epson printer I owned (The Color Stylus Pro) ran like a champ and it sipped ink. Based on that record, I bought the Epson C64 to replace the Epson Color Stylus Pro after it died 8 years later.

The C64 lasted only two years before the black nozzled clogged up forever. And before that happened, the C64 used to run out of ink faster than I ran out of clean underwear. The print quality was decent, but it cost me a fortune in ink supplies. I paid more for ink supplies than I did for the printer.

2 out of 5 stars Disposable printer?.......2006-12-13

I purchased this printer because of it's separate ink cartridges, thinking it would save money in the long run. No such luck! If you change one cartridge, it goes thru the cleaning cycle and sucks another dry. Then if you don't use it for a while, you might as well throw it out, because you'll go thru a full set of cartridges trying to clear the clogged nozzle. And Epson just says 'take it to a service center' Cheaper to buy a new printer, just wish I had figured that out before blowing thru all that ink... Oh, and even when the cartridge is still half full, if the little counter chip says it's empty, you get to throw it out.
This is the second Epson printer I've had die from this problem, so I'm not falling for the hype again.

5 out of 5 stars Great quality.......2006-09-18

1 out of 5 stars Use it or Lose it.......2006-05-03

The print quality on this model is good - BUT - the nozzles dry out quickly if you don't use it frequently. The solution is to use the "clean print head" function, but that sucks up considerable ink and you'll be heading to the office supply store soon. Like other reviewers have said, the ink costs almost as much as the printer.

1 out of 5 stars TURN AROUND AND RUN AWAY.......2005-10-13

THIS PRINTER IS A MONSTER.
IT SUCKS INK
WHEN ONE INK GOES DRY - IT WILL NOT LET YOU PRINT WITH THE OTHER INKS. EVERYTHING STOPS TELL YOU GO SPEND A FORTUNE ON INK CARTRIDGES. EVEN WITH TEXT PRINTING THE THING SUCKS INK.
IF YOU ONLY PRINT A LITTLE BEWARE- THE INK SEEMS TO DRY UP.
THE FREE PRINTER I GOT FOR SIGNING UP FOR THE INTERNET DID A BETTER JOB AND LASTED LONGER.
ITS CHEAPER TO PRINT YOUR PHOTO'S AT A STORE.
EPSON IS USING THIS PRINTER LIKE THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES GIVING IT TO YOU CHEAP AND STICKING IT TO YOU IN THE CARTRIDGE END.
