Epson Artisan 50 Ink Cartridges

Epson 50 Printer Review

As a personal inkjet printer, the Epson Artisan 50 doesn't have all the bells and whistles typically seen in comparable models, but it achieves what it is designed to do: produce quality color projects at fast rates. 4x6 inch pictures can print in as fast as 11 seconds. Color graphics can print at a speed of up to 38 pages per minutes and monochrome text prints at rates of 37 pages per minute.

In terms of its missing features, its lack of multifunction capabilities and minimal connectivity options are noted by expert reviews. However, the ability to perform unique tasks such as print on CDs and automatically remove red eye are fair compensations. The unit also makes up for its shortcomings with excellent quality, by using drop-on-demand technology and Epson 50 printer ink to produce photos that look professionally made.

Its Ultra High-Definition print technology uses Artisan 50 printer ink to produce documents with excellent fade resistance and a maximum resolution of 5760x1440 dpi. The unit incorporates flexible paper handling to support the assortment of media accepted, including a 120-sheet standard input tray and 20-sheet tray for specialty image media like photo glossy, luster photo and Premium Bright white paper. Epson provides software to further enhance images including features like one-touch photo restoration that can optimize faded photos, as well as face-detection and red-eye removal.

With a print system that includes 6 separate Epson 50 ink cartridges in the colors of cyan, magenta, light cyan, light magenta, yellow and black, users can get the most out of each supply by replacing them individually, reducing waste. Each color and black Artisan 50 ink supply can yield as many as 515 pages. By using Claria Epson 50 ink cartridges, projects finish with superior color definition.

As a do-it-yourself printer with its lab-quality photo printing and extras like the ability to create individualized CDs, the 50 provides a solid set of features for a home inkjet printer, and excellent print quality. Creative users looking for a personal printer with consistent and accurate color printing will benefit from the 50.
