This printer delivers pro quality results. The monochrome prints are superb. As with all printers of this quality, the ink is expensive. Color prints are also excellent.

I had difficulty getting the new iMac to recognize the printer. The problem was resolved when, at Apple's suggestion, I tried using a USB connector in place of the FireWire supplied with the printer. I have experienced no difficulties since making the connector change.

Fast print speed often produces lined prints. I have best results unchecking the fast print option. I am new to digital photography, and I found the interface with Adobe CS3 neither intuitive nor particularly well outlined in the printed materials or in Epson or Adobe help features. I have the good fortune to have a friend with considerable experience to guide my efforts. After about an hour of his help, I was able to produce good prints and even make use of a few special features. The black and white prints are as good or better than anyting I have been able to produce in a darkroom. I expect, however, I will spend many hours learning the basics of quality digital printing, and it will be some time before I will be sufficiently schooled to take advantage of this printer's capacity. In short, I believe this printer is capable of truly fine work provided the driving software is well understood.

I am a professional photographer and with this product I am able to print all of my own images and sell them to my customers with confidence. I know that I am providing them with a superior product.
The one downside to this printer is the high quanitity of ink it uses. That is true for most printers these days anyway. I can create prints up to 13X 19 with precut Epson papers or use the rolls which can also be cost-effective. I also use it for my fine art prints that I sell or show. I am very happy with this product!

Wonderful images. Rather expensive to use (paper and ink costs) and it took some time to learn to use properly. It seems to consume a lot of ink and with 8 cartriges, it is a hassle and costly, but worth it nonetheless.

I am not an every day printer but when I do I want a printer that I can use and depend on,
to give me the results that I want.

This printer when used with Epson inks and paper produce superior prints both color and black and white the rival anything that come out of a darkroom. I’m a disabled retried engineer taking an advanced photography course at the local community college and am the only student using a digital camera yet my work out put is judged against any of the other students taking this course. I use a Canon XTi camera (with various lenses depending on the assignment), Photoshop CS2 and the Epson R2400 printer. Our work is in black and white which is very demanding on a printer as color covers a lot of printer sins that black and white holds out in glaring relief. Needless to say I am extremely pleased [...]
