Epson R200 Printer Review

With its easy-to-use design and quick setup, the Epson Stylus Photo R200 can provide a simple solution for home printing. Buyers with minimal day-to-day projects will benefit the best from this inkjet printer due to slow and inconsistent maximum speeds of only 15 pages per minute for color and monochrome projects. Speeds aside, the R200 is a cost-efficient option for those looking to buy a printer that can support creative projects like personalized photos and graphic designs.

The ability to print on media like CDs and DVDs and produce border-free photos allows the device to meet the varied needs of personal users. The unit's versatile media handling can accept up to 120 sheets at once and also supports glossy photo paper, high-quality banner paper and double-sided matte paper. While it delivers vivid color from Stylus Photo R200 printer ink management technology for superior photos, expert reviews note that monochrome text output is poor for what's expected of an inkjet.

With the ability to easily snap in the provided Stylus Photo R200 printer ink and quickly adjust the input tray to fit multiple media sizes, and a special slot is available for CDs and DVDs. The unit also comes with useful features like Film Factory software, which allows users to enhance and organize their personal photos for projects like holiday greeting cards and photo albums. Images print with true, lab-quality detail and a resolution of 5760x1400 dpi using color Epson R200 ink.

Each black, cyan, magenta, yellow, light cyan and light magenta Epson R200 ink cartridge can be replaced separately. Color replacements have a maximum capacity of 430 pages each and the black Epson R200 ink cartridge has a yield of 630 pages.

While the printer suffers from some of the slowest speeds in its class, buyers can expect a consistent output quality for all their artistic projects and a host of helpful software. Those interested in a basic, but affordable, lab-quality home photo printer should consider the R200.
