What our customer's say!

"Good for a short time only before nozzles clog ", The Epson Stylus C82, C84, and C86 are good for a short time only, maybe one year tops when purchased new. Then, the nozzles clog, the printer becomes useless junk. Epson no longer will repair these old models.
This creates a problem for those of us using older computers like my Apple imac OS 8.6, as there are no longer any printers available that work with these old computers.

"Piece of Junk Printer", This price is WAY too much for this printer...I paid $200 brand new and it broke within 6 months. What a piece of junk.

"This model is a lemon", I agree with the previous reviews. I never liked the way the paper fed into the printer but it gave quick sharp print jobs...until I had to replace the ink. After that it was all down hill. Thought it might be the ink so bought more. Nothing. Had a friend who works with and repairs printers look at it. After he tried everything he could he admitted defeat. THEN I looked up these reviews.....a lesson learned!

"Read Ian Madfed's Review - Same here!!!", To the letter, my review matches up with Ian's and I had the same thing happen with my C82 which I got Epson to replace with the C86. I don't normally take the time to write reviews, but unless you want a disposable ink vaccum, I recommend that you look elsewhere for an inkjet printer.

"Great Until It Just Dies", AVOID THIS EPSON PRINTER. It works well until you need to replace ink cartridge. Then it fails. And when it fails, it is not just a minor problem... you get nothing but blank sheets, as ink tubes clog up. Epson recommends buying new ink, which does not work. No solution except Trash Bin or Epson repair service that costs more than buying a new printer. In fact, when you call their help line, the operator recommends purchasing another as a cheaper solution... and they will give you a $10 "loyalty discount". All the other reviews are right. This is a great printer if you want something that lasts only a few months. If you want it to work past warranty... choose another.

"What an awful printer!", I print out maybe 10 pages a month and in the year or so that I've owned this printer, I've already changed the printer cartridge twice. Since cartridges are expensive it's not worth my while to continue using this printer. It also has this awful habit of printing out every other line when the ink cartridge is running low. It's so frustrating because the print quality is quite good when it does work. But such a high-maintenance printer causes nothing but headaches in the long run.


"C82 - 1.5 yrs. C86 - 1.5 yrs. I see a pattern.", DO NOT BUY EPSON PRODUCTS. That's what I learned. Here's why: I agree. Epson? Greedy company. I used to have the C82, for 1.5 yrs. Then I used non-Epson ink once. Boom, printer stops printing. Channels dried out. Junkyard. Epson was so kind to send me a C86 for free instead, so I was quite pleased. Only drawbacks at the time were offline time, $60 I had just invested in new (generic) cartridges (to see if I could get the printer working again with the EPSON brand ink but no) and of course the costly customer support phone (they charge you big $$$ for it). Anyway, the C82 was not available any more at the time (I now know why), so they got me the C86. I learned from the past and NEVER used non-Epson ink. Same result. Printer quits after 1.5 yrs. Only Cyan and Yellow still worked somewhat, Black and Magenta stopped. So now what? I read all the reviews here and thought 'Hey, I got an idea, I will buy another C86 at the local store, then return the new box with the old printer in it after 2 weeks for a full refund. Then Epson shall deal with their crappy product.' Not morally 100% correct, but selling such a product to me and millions of others isn't either, now is it? So guess what, the C86 (hmmmm, just like the C82 at the time) wasn't available anymore. Instead they had the C88+. Nah, I thought, not again. I'm an engineer, so why not try to fix it myself and then if necessary switch to an HP (LIKE 117 OTHERS THAT WROTE A REVIEW HERE!). So I popped off all the panels of the C86 until I got to the core. Two side panels, main panel, rear panels, all got easily removed. Snap in/snap out design, so that's good. A bit more tricky was getting to the actual print head. But I managed. That thing is cast together with a electronic chip, some ICs and whatnot, but I could already see it was all cluttered up with old ink. I cleaned everything, and put it back together as good as possible. Took me overall 3 hrs. Result: it got worse. Lost Yellow and Blue too. Guess what my reaction was? Ever seen OFFICE SPACE?? Today I got myself an HP Deskjet 3940. What's good about it, it cost me only $15 at my local Meijer store (somebody had returned it without the ink and USB cable) and the ink cartridges come with the print head. The print head is not part of the printer. So each time you get new cartridges (where the HPs are even cheaper than the EPSONs), you get new printheads too. With the EPSON, once the printhead is cluttered up with old ink, you're done. I guess this happens after roughly 1.5 yrs with every EPSON. I will try to post an image of the disassembled printer to the photos here, let's see if it goes through. Have fun with your C86! Enjoy it, as long as it still works...

"I will never buy another epson printer", I got the c86 to replace a c82(?) that bit the dust after 14 months or so. This one lasted longer, and I always replace with "Epson brand inks" but the last 2 times I changed the black ink, I had to do the clean print heads 10 or 15 times to get black, and today, I can't get any black ink to come out at all. I give up, Epson. Canon, here I come.

"Great until it stopped working at 14 months", And labor is so expensive, most shops want $50 just to open it up! My Stylus 740 never had this problem, although the 740 is not a photo printer. At ~$200 it needs to perform better, longer.

"AVOID AT ALL COSTS!", We bought 8 Epson C86 printers because the color reproduction was highly rated.
It does print decent color photos--while it still works. We had 1 at home and 7 for our office, all with light to medium usage and mostly in black and white. Each printer, on cue, failed within a year and a half, by first printing poorly, by not improving through cleaning or cartridge replacement and then by not printing at all. It sounds like it's printing, but no ink is transferred to paper. To fix these would cost as much as a new one. This is NOT a good value--they ALL break quickly....
