Epson R2000 Printer Review

The Epson Stylus Photo R2000 can be purchased for a low price tag, which is nice considering it's one of the best models in its class of dedicated photo printers. The device can print a single 8x10-inch photo in just over a minute, making it one of the quickest among comparable inkjet devices. This printer also wins top marks for its high-quality output and Stylus Photo R2000 printer ink system, as well as its ample connectivity and media handling options.

With its built-in iPrint technology, the R2000 provides users with the ability to print straight from compatible mobile device such as iPads, iPhones and tablets. The unit is also equipped with a front PictBridge port for direct printing from cameras, an ethernet interface for networking and Wi-Fi. The R2000 is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems and provides users with a rear USB port for connecting to their computers.

The printer can handle a range of different media types like glossy photo paper, luster photo paper, velvet fine art paper and canvas paper. The machine can feed a maximum cut paper size of 13x19 inches and support roll paper with a size of up to 13x44 inches. The R2000's two separate media paths will make it easy to switch between standard cut sheet paper and thick fine art paper. The main automatic sheet feeder can handle up to 120 pages of plain paper at a time and the rear feeder can accept a variety of media, including optical discs.

One setback to this device is its lack of a color LCD for previewing photos, which can be found on its more advanced and expensive series model the R3000. The device makes up for this with its lab-quality photo output, which was tested to print images that won't fade for decades with a resolution of 5760x1440 dpi using color Epson R2000 printer ink.

The unit operates with an 8-color Epson R2000 ink cartridge system that includes cyan, magenta, yellow, red, orange, black, photo black and matte black Stylus Photo R2000 ink. Experts noted that these individual Epson R2000 ink cartridges are some of the most cost-efficient supplies in its class.
