Epson Artisan- The Real Scoop
The Internet has been abuzz with reports of the greatness of the Epson Artisan printer. You may wonder what could be so great about this specific printer.
You wanna know the truth, the real truth?
Ok, because I love you, I will tell you.
The Epson Artisan has been to the moon!
Ok, maybe not, but it is wireless. When I am sitting on my porch with my trusty laptop watching the boys wrestle in the yard play football, I can still print. Did you hear me, Friends of Fussy? I print from my porch. Magically, the printer in the office has my papers all beautiful and ready when I come in! {swoon}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Epson Artisan helped in the Superbowl!
Ok, that was a stretch, but it does have a sweet scanner that lets me scan my jewelry and I can avoid pulling my hair out from trying to take a decent photo. I just put my jewelry on the scanner and presto! A sweet picture!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Epson Artisan stops global warming!
Or not, but, it makes really cool coloring book pages from anything. The kids scanned in their football cards & favorite picture book graphics to color and create little masterpieces. It prints so fast that my husband is buying one for his office. He can't handle how slow his office printer seems in comparison.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Epson Artisan bakes cakes!
Nah, even better, you can plug in your memory card or flash drive and edit photos on the fancy schamcy display. You can write text on them, too. I did all that before I even read the instructions! Straight outta the box!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Epson Artisan won a gold medal!
Sadly, it is not really waterproof and I do not endorse swimming with your Epson. But, you can put a CD in and it prints on it! Yes, right on the CD. Even I figured it out. Let me tell you, that is amazing. I first used this printer with out reading the manual. :)
More descriptions of the awesomeness of this little machine can be found here.
Epson has not only developed a sweet printer, but they treat the people they work with and their customers with respect and thoughtfulness. I think it is so important for us to support companies that "get it". Epson gets it!
We are soon giving away one of these awesome babies at Blissfully Domestic, and Epson has graciously given our readers a huge discount. $60 off instantly and an extra ink bundle. I love them. Click here!

ok, but can you print a photo with it without needing an advanced degree? I cannot print a photo on any of the three printers in my house. Yes, I read the books and tried all the tips.

Yes, I actually printed out really nice photos right off the bat before I read the directions.
That NEVER happens. LOL

Yes, but can it cure cancer? I've been meaning to look into this printer, I've heard great things about it. p.s. found your blog while blog-hopping :)

Okay I am buying one. TODAY. Based on this review and based on Epson's support of BD.
But there is a 700 model and an 800 model. Which one do you have? Which one should I order?
Most excited about wireless feature. I have 4 computers in my home. And only one hooked up to printer. So this causes problems around homework report time. SO EXCITED.

Alli,
You are the stinkingest cutest Epson reviewer I've seen to date. But I have to admit, reading all these reviews makes me a wee bit covetous (make that weeLOTS)...WHEN there's cash in the budget for a new printer, I know what we'll be looking at.
Unless I happened to win one.................;)

It also removes unwanted stains from contour sheets. But it still doesn't print $20 bills.
