Epson Stylus Photo R300M Color Inkjet Printer (Epson-C11C536011M)

Color photos showed excellent detail. Faint yellow bands marred gray-scale photos. Small text looked slightly blurry.

The bread-box-size Epson Stylus R300M measures 19.6 inches by 10.4 inches by 8.6 inches (W, D, H) and looks like many other inkjets on the market today, with its input tray in the back and its output tray at the bottom. The R300M includes a 2.5-inch...

"Ink Jet Cartridges dry up with non-use"

 

While the photo quality is superb, I'm now in the market for a new photo printer. I tend to print out my pictures about once a quarter and unfortunately, Epson inks tend to dry up within 3-4 weeks of non-use, creating a very, very expensive printer.

Great picture quality, easy to use

Automatically determines when ink jet cartirdges require replacement, whether they need it or not. Ink dries up quickly if you don't use your printer often
