Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Pro Reviews

If you’re finding even the more advanced home photo printers are a bit lacking, the Epson Stylus Photo R2000 is a good step-up into the more advanced capabilities that a prosumer printer offers. The eight colors of inks provide a wider color gamut than the typical four colors of a home printer, and can reproduce more subtle shades resulting in better looking prints. In addition, the roll paper holder at the rear of the printer provides the opportunity to use a wide range of specialty media types, some of which are easier to obtain in roll format. We were a bit disappointed, however, that we had to tweak the image file to get a great print from the printer with default settings. This hasn’t been necessary with other Epson printers we tested, and brought our overall rating down somewhat.

Despite potentially high print costs, this is the best-value pigment-based A3+ printer around

If you're looking to take your at-home photo printing up a notch in terms of quality or print size, the Epson Stylus Photo R2000 produces great looking color photos on a wide variety of paper types and even CD/DVD printable media.

This is another excellent, medium format printer from Epson. It has very versatile paper handling, including direct CD/DVD print, doesn't cost that much to run and benefits from the improved gamut provided by extra colour inks; it produces impressive photos right up to A3 . It's not cheap to buy, but if you need quality print on larger page sizes, it should certainly be on your shortlist.

The Epson Stylus Photo R2000 offers speed and output quality suitable for professional photographers and graphic artists at a price suitable for serious amateurs.

Looking to step up to wide-carriage printing? This $499 model is an economical way to big, excellent-quality output.

If Wi-Fi or roll paper printing is an important feature that you could use, the Epson Stylus Photo R2000 comes recommended (with the caveat that you'll have to cut the roll paper yourself). In other aspects it's an easy equal to other high-end photo printers like Canon's best PIXMA Pro models.
