    PC WORLD.com Editors' review:

    The Stylus Photo R800 adds red and blue inks to the standard set of cyan, magenta, and yellow inks; but it omits light photo cyan and light photo magenta. Other cartridges supply photo black, matte black (for text), and a gloss overcoat. The matte black helped the R800 produce text that looked bold yet clean even at small sizes. While gray-scale photos exhibited punch that other printers' output lacked, they also displayed precise detail and realistic shading.

    Like other Epson inkjets, the R800 made a mess of narrow parallel lines. And when we tried to print our CMYK-format test photo with this model, we ran into the same problem that we did with Epson's Stylus Photo R200: The photo sometimes printed too dark and appeared severely underexposed. Even when it did print correctly, the image was a little duller than when output from other printers we tested. (CMYK is not typically used with PC printers, but most of our test models handled it without difficulty). Images printed on the R800 in the more-common RGB format looked gorgeous, with realistic textures, sharp detail, and strong, rich colors.

    The printer applies its gloss overcoat to photos in areas with light-colored ink to prevent dull patches. Epson's driver allows you to turn the gloss cartridge on or off; PC World's panel of judges could detect no difference in quality between prints that used the overcoat and those that did not. Epson says that prints made with the R800's pigment-based color inks won't fade for 80 years if placed behind glass.

    Based on tests conducted by the Rochester Institute of Technology for PC World, black ink pages cost 2.8 cents each, and pages of black plus the three standard colors (not photos) cost 11.1 cents each; both figures are somewhat lower than the average for recently tested photo printers.

    The R800 doesn't win any medals for speed: Text pages emerge at 2.1 ppm, a hair faster than the slowest rate we've seen lately, and photos take a more ordinary 0.4 ppm.

    UPSHOT: If you plan on printing a lot of snapshots, you'll appreciate the R800's roll feeder; and as long as you stick with RGB files, the R800 will reward you with great-looking photo prints.

    Important Printer Buying Tip:
    ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month) times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge). Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular cartridge.
    For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The monthly "cost of ownership" is
    (150 pages) x ($28) = $21
          200 pages

    Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits.

    PC MAGAZINE.com Editors' review:

    Versatile and intriguing, the Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer is sibling on opposite ends of the spectrum. The wide-format 1280 is clearly for prosumers.

    Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer scored in the middle of the pack on our photo performance tests. We noticed output problems on our high-quality photo test: Thin white lines seemed lost against a black background, possibly the result of overeager edge enhancement technology. This printer had decent output speeds on both our graphics and photo tests.

    CNET.com Editors' review:
    The Epson Stylus Photo R2400, a highly anticipated follow-up to the medium-format Stylus Photo 2200, offers some potentially stunning improvements to desktop photo printing. Though the enhancements are likely too subtle to impress spec watchers, keen-eyed photographers will definitely sit up and take note.

    Upside: Epson's new UltraChromeK3 ink set incorporates the traditional six photo primaries--CMYK plus light cyan and magenta--and supplements them with Light Black and Light Light Black inks, otherwise known to mere mortals as light gray and medium gray. Nothing revolutionary there, and irritatingly, you still have to physically swap the matte- and photo-black cartridges. But Epson claims to have resolved several notable problems it had with the SP2200's blacks on glossy paper, including a gloss deficit, bronzing, metamerism (colors appearing different under different light sources), and the tendency of all the inks to show scratches. Unlike the R800 and R1800, which apply a gloss overcoat for consistency, the R2400's UltraChromeK3 droplets are encapsulated in the glossy resin. The new inks are higher density than the old--Epson says they achieve a maximum density (Dmax) of 2.4D compared to 2.2D for the old inks. The company has also reworked the screening algorithms for black-and-white printing and, recognizing that great black-and-white has some color, created an advanced black-and-white print mode in the driver that allows you to tone your images with yellow, light-magenta, and light-cyan inks. Oh, yeah: it's supposedly a lot faster, too, and claims all its de rigueur, awe-inspiring, as-yet-unpublished longevity data from Wilhelm Imaging.

    Downside: By purposefully integrating the monochrome-challenged Ultrachrome ink set into the R1800 and excluding the R1800's red and blue inks from the UltrachromeK3 set, Epson seems to be creating an artificial distinction between the two: positioning one as a large-gamut color printer and the other as a tonally adept black-and-white device. Those of us who want both vibrant color prints and gallery-quality black-and-white output should be feeling justifiably peeved right about now. And even if you don't particularly care about color, the 3.5-picoliter droplets may dampen your spirits a bit when compared against the dots produced by Canon's 2pl i9900.

    Outlook: When it ships this month, the Epson R2400's high $849 estimated street price will probably drive all but the most dedicated black-and-white photographers toward capable competitors such as the Canon i9900. But we're still jonesing to test it--check back soon to see if it lives up to its droolworthy potential.

    PC MAGAZINE.com Editors' review:
    Epson seems to be on a crusade to make printing on CDs and DVDs a standard feature across all price ranges of ink jets. Witness the Epson Stylus Photo R200, a $100 (street) model with CD-printing features heretofore found only on $300 models. The R200 produces very good photos and prints from standard business applications well enough to serve as your only printer, as long as you don't demand too much speed.

    Physical setup is easy: Snap in each of the six ink cartridges and you're good to go. Printing on CDs is also a piece of cake: Flip the tray guide into place, load the CD tray into the guide, line up the arrows on the tray with the arrows on the guide, then print, using Epson's supplied software.

    Compared with the printers we looked at in our November 11, 2003 issue, the R200 is faster than most for files that include photos but slower than most for just about everything else. Still, its overall time of 25 minutes 43 seconds is about on a par with other $100 ink jets. Output quality was good to very good, with photos falling only a bit short of true photo quality.

    The Epson Photo Stylus R200 is one of the better choices for a tight budget. It's certainly the only one in this price range that lets you print directly to printable CDs.

    Important Printer Buying Tip:
    ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month) times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge). Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular cartridge.
    For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The monthly "cost of ownership" is
    (150 pages) x ($28) = $21
          200 pages

    Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits.
