Epson Stylus Photo R2400

 

Class-leading black-and-white printing; extremely flexible paper handling; long-lived prints.

Expensive; large footprint; requires that you swap matte-black and photo-black cartridges.

The Epson Stylus Photo R2400 printer's excellent monochrome printing further solidifies company's hegemony of the enthusiast and professional photo printer markets.

Epson America Stylus Color 880 2880X720 12ppm

 

WHAT'S HOT: The Stylus Color 880 offers snappy 4.5-pages-per-minute text speed. And printers that rival the 880's graphics performance typically cost $100 more. The software Epson packs with the 880 could encourage you to spread lots of ink--the bundle...

A good choice if you want a speedy workhorse, but graphics lack quality.

This might be a good inexpensive printer for simple jobs that need to be turned out quickly, but other choices produce better graphics.

Epson Stylus Photo R2400

 

At $849.99 (direct), the Epson Stylus Photo R2400 obviously isn't for everyone. But if you're a serious photographer who isn't satisfied with anything less than an SLR camera and a collection of bayonet-mount lenses for taking your photos, you probably...

Photos are superb, with sizes of up to 13 by 44 inches. Photos are smudgeproof and long lived, with a claimed lightfastness of more than 100 years

Different black ink cartridges for different types of paper mean you may have to change cartridges repeatedly

The Epson Stylus Photo R2400 is the first printer to use Epson's new UltraChrome K3 ink technology. With the right paper, the K3 inks yield superb photos that are also waterproof, smudgeproof, and of archival quality.

The Stylus Photo R2400 resonates with style, featuring a matte silver and glossy black frame. The majority of the printer's frame is significantly minimalistic, with all buttons and controls located along the right side of the front panel. The Stylus...

Review: Epson Stylus Photo R2400

 

Are you in the market for a 13" x 19" photo printer? See how Epson's new eight-color model complicates your shopping experience.

If an archival span of thirty to forty years is long enough for you, then either the Canon or HP products are excellent choices for the photographer on a budget. The quality differences between these two models and the R2400 is slight. (For example,...
