Epson Stylus Photo R200

Given my families obsession with photography it only seemed natural that we at least attempt printing out our own work rather than paying excessive shop charges on images. The Epson Stylus Photo R220 was recommended to us and so being the trusting people that we are decided to give it a go, this of course was several years ago now when Christopher was still a wriggling, gurgling baby, he's 3 now so you can certainly say we've had a fair amount of experience with the printer. Epson R220- The Epson R220 is designed to give a high quality of print, suitable for printing out highly detailed photographic images that can equal that of the professional printers. ...  Read the complete review

My girlfriend bought this for me as a gift and I honestly have to say its definately one of the best Inkjet printers on the market. I have used a number of Epson printers including the C62, CX3200 etc and I honestly can hold my hands up and say they are in my opinion the best printers for value of money. The R200 is one of the first printers to allow you to print directly to a printable DVD or CD, this in itself is a great concept and makes the standard DVD or CD look that much more professional. Use it for creating your own CD or DVD make it stand out from the crowd! Print Quality ```````````````` The quality of pictures ...  Read the complete review

The Epson R200 is the R300's little brother. It uses the same six colour printing technology but lacks the built in card reader. As such, it cannot be used as a standalone photo printer. The technical aspects, print quality, features, etc., have been adequately covered elsewhere in reviews of the R300, so I'll confine my comments to a few personal experiences and printing tips. I settled on this machine after becoming increasingly disillusioned (not to say utterly p*ssed off) with my aging Kodak PPM200, which had the most annoying habit of running out of one colour - generally around 90% through printing a photo - without warning. Original PPM200 ink cartridges are ...  Read the complete review

The Epson Stylus Photo R200 is quite new and modern.There are now six ink cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, light cyan, light magenta and yellow), rather that two (black and colour). I find it a real hassle. Not only are there more cardridges, but they also cost more. Normally I would have been paying £21.50 for each cartridge but now I'm having to fork over £150 for all 6 (£25 each). There are three buttons on the actual printer itself. The first is the power button. It's main function is to turn the printer on but it can also be used to turn off the printer. Next to that is the paper button which has to be pressed when you are loading paper or if you are ejecting ...  Read the complete review

Epson as you may or may not know are one of the best producers of mass printers and are on par with Canon, HP, Lexmark and other big name brands. I personally bought one of these printers for some very good reasons. Having just binned a Canon as it started playing up as it was a bit too cheap and no longer chearful i decided to go for a more solid so at about the £50 range (so i didn't just get the cheapest one on the market). In addition to this limit i also decided to rule out all HP instantly due there stupidly high price of cartidges due to there poor design of having expensive chips in them. Finally decided to buy the R200 as it was one of the cheaper ones, has ...  Read the complete review
