Excellent color printer

Strengths: Produce lab quality color prints, large format printing capability

Weakness: Expensive printer and ink tanks, printer head prone to clog if left idle for long time

If you don't print larger than 8x10 then go for R800 which uses same technology and costs less than half after rebate. Print made on premium glossy paper looks great, no chance to compare it with other brands though. Don't let it stand idle too long. Ink will dry up and clog the printer head. Head cleaning wastes a lot of expensive ink.

Excellent Printer

Strengths: Print Quality

Weakness: Consumption/Price

I love this printer, great quality in color and despite the opinion of some reviewers I think it produces also very good BW prints - provided to use the right setting and the right paper. Also the prints on CD/DVD are excellent. Printing speed is OK as well. The biggest disadvantage is the consumption; first for price, secondly for having to change cartridges very often (with 8 of them, you...

Professional photo printer for professional needs

Strengths: Fast, excellent color, No Postscript

Weakness: None

Colors and print quality are amazing. I went through the first two ink cartridges after about 25 (11x17) prints. Photo Black and Cyan. The gloss optimizer went pretty soon after. The prints look like C-prints from a lab and the overall quality difference from the 2200 is amazing. I would definately recommend this product to any aspiring photographer or graphic artist.

Epson R1800 excellent color pictures!!!!!!!!!!!

Strengths: novice user, easy to install, large print

Very nice printer especially for the budget minded buyer. The prints were extremely hi gloss print. It is very quiet compare to my HP laserjet. Now I managed to print large banner. Also it was very fast printing text and photo. Flawless I may added. So If you're looking for a printer check this one out. The price was significantly dropping. I guess the counterpart Epson r2400 was out already....

Great printer for a budget-minded

Strengths: CD and DVD printing, fast and excellent photo quality

Weakness: so-so Black and White print

I decided to replace my old canon and got an Epson this time. The quality of the print was superb and very lab quality. Although the BW print was just so-so, however I hardly use the BW print.

Amazing to say the least!

Strengths: Stunning CD/DVD printing, easy to install

Weakness: None

I bought my R1800 two weeks ago and it's fabulous! I've been doing quite a bit of photo retouching in PhotoShop and was anxious to see some of my work in large format. The resulting output totally exceeded my expectations! I was also surprised at the speed at which such fine output was generated. I was somewhat concerned about the cost of maintaining an 8-color system as the cost of replacement...

Great photo printer

Strengths: The prints! The size!

Weakness: The cost of new ink cartridges.

This printer is amazing! It blows any other consumer level inkjet away. If you are a photographer it is a must. The cartridges are expensive, like all other inkjets. But the joy of having fantastic prints? Priceless!

Mixed feelings about R1800

Strengths: Easy to set up, price was reasonable for 8-color printer that can handle a variety or papers.

Weakness: Does not have postscript capability

After months of research, I was convinced that the R1800 would be the best printer for my needs. I bought the R1800 to print out my digital photos and images of my artwork, expecting professional results. Having years of graphic design experience did not help much; the R1800's inability to print postscript is forcing me to figure out a totally different way to prepare my images & print set up....

Great color prints but terrible for BW

Strengths: Amazing color print just like the lab

Weakness: awful BW prints

I love this big machine, the print was fantastic especially when you enlarge the copy. It is quiet as it could be. The detail of each color is amazingly captured and transformed to any photo paper. I'll say this the best printer on the market at this time. will recommended to anybody.

Great Photo print, worthy to spend $$$$

Strengths: excellent multi glossy color print, quiet

Weakness: bulky poor BW print

I got this product a month ago. The quality of the print was excellent. Beautiful color print large or small pics. The connection was piece of cake. There is a usb calbe or firewire hook up. I tried to print a 8 1/2 by 11 photo paper today and I was very satisfied to the result. So far the only flaw was the BW print which was just OK. Other than that, I loved my R1800 printer.

Epson Stylus Photo R1800

The Epson Stylus Photo R1800 sets the standard for versatile, high-performance, large-format desktop photo printing. It’s speedy and it produces beautiful prints. It doesn’t get any better than this, and certainly not for this price.
