Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a
printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its
ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of
ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month)
times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge).
Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular
cartridge.
For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per
month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The
monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21
200 pages
Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the
original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of
remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits.

PCWORLD.com Editors' review:
The Epson Stylus Photo 870 is optimized for photo printing. It
prints with six colors, adding light cyan and light magenta to the
standard cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. It is a reasonable
choice for all-purpose printing. It is well worth considering.
If you have a USB connection, setup is identical for all four
printers: Connect the cable, then install the ink cartridges and
driver.
The 870 has a print engine, which should translate to identical
output quality and speed, although for the particular units we
had. In default mode, we saw well-formed text but subtle banding
in solid fills, visible dithering, and somewhat ragged lines in
graphics.
Photo printers are optimized for printing photos rather than text
and focus on quality rather than speed, so it's not surprising
that overall speed for these three is on the low side of average,
ranging from 0.9 to 1.0 ppm. Nor is it surprising that these
printers yielded their poorest performance on Word documents. The
software bundled with the 870 includes Adobe Photo Deluxe Home 3.1
(a photo-editing program that targets home users) and Epson
Software Film Factory (a photo management program).
