I've had my C82 a couple of months, it does well with graphics and such and is pretty darn fast even with large photo files. While not specifically a "photo" printer I feel it does very well except on very low key black and white pictures with lots of black--there I can see an objectionable amount of banding.
One more thing it makes a horrible kerchunk noise when loading a sheet of paper, seems to be perfectly normal for this machine but it scared the crap out of me the first time it did it.

Subject: epson C82
does anyone have any experience with this printer? i'm contemplating purchasing it... since it recently dropped in price. i looked at a sample photo print out, which was only ok.. but looking at the other print samples, i started to wonder what the quality of the original photo/scan was.
i'll actually only be using it to print out complicated graphics which may include photo components.. using matte archival paper...
but i just wanted to see if anyone could offer some advice.

On a similar topic - I have an Epson 980 which has been an excellent four color printer for quad-black. It is also very fast for everyday work. It seems to be a more sturdy office printer than average cheapo models. Does anyone know which Epson printer replaced that model? The ol' 980's are nowhere to be found.
