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.

ProductDescription for Epson 2000P
(From the Manufacturer, Epson)
The Epson Stylus Photo 2000P inkjet printer was specifically
designed with the professional photographer in mind. Providing
quality printing for archival photo reproduction, it prints
borderless, edge-to-edge images on sizes up to 13 x 44 inches. You
can print in six rich colors using drop-on-demand Micro Piezo
inkjet technology, and Epson's archival ink with MicroCrystal
Encapsulation keeps colors long lasting and fade-resistant. Plus,
you won't be caught dry, thanks to automatic low-ink detection.
This printer has an optimum resolution of 1,440 x 720 dpi for both
black and color pages. Completed images arrive in under four
minutes when printed on matte paper, and under six minutes when
using semi-gloss sheets. While it can handle plain bond paper, it
functions best when used with professional photo papers, including
archival, glossy, watercolor, and radiant white matte. Maximum
paper capacity is 100 sheets or ten envelopes.
The Photo 2000P printer is compatible with both Windows and
Macintosh operating systems, which it accesses via either USB or
parallel connections. It measures 21 by 30.3 by 16.3 inches and
weighs just 18.5 pounds.
Street Price: $330.00
PC WORLD.com Editors' review:
Looking for a printer with image quality so good you'll never
again need to trudge to a photo lab for color prints or
enlargements? The $899 Stylus Photo 2000P from Epson doesn't just
produce lab-quality output: Epson says prints created with a
breakthrough, pigmented six-color ink technology could last up to
200 years.
In my tests of this shipping model, prints made on Epson's Premium
Semigloss paper stock rivaled photos developed by a photo lab.
Scanned photos printed on the printer looked as good as the
originals or even better. Color-image output was rich and clear,
with realistic colors and accurate flesh tones. Epson doesn't
recommend the unit for black-and-white photos.
The Stylus Photo 2000P can handle paper sizes from 3.5 by 3.5
inches to 13 by 44 inches; Epson itself sells a wide range of
custom resin-coated photographic papers and fine-art media.
This printer isn't appropriate for churning out text or routine
business graphics, but it raises the bar for ink jet printing of
photographs.
