Epson-Stylus-Photo-R1800-Printer Review

I intended to write a detailed review of the Epson-Stylus-Photo-R1800-Printer, but I don't foresee getting the time to properly write this review in the near future. I do want to answer the "Which printer are you using?" question and for that reason feel compelled to keep the page live.

I will leave you with a short summary of my experience with the Epson-Stylus-Photo-R1800-Printer ...

This is not your local-superstore-cheap-inkjet-printer. It is heavy (25.8 lbs) and somewhat large - but it is a somewhat-wide format workhorse that rather-quietly produces excellent lab-quality prints with a very long 100-200 year rated life. Eight separate ink cartridges (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Red, Blue, Black (matte/gloss), Gloss Optimizer) are a cost-effective design as you are not throwing away unused ink.

I am using Epson's Premium Paper for photo printing. Epson's paper costs less than some other printer manufacturer's paper - be sure to figure paper cost into your long term investment. The Epson-Stylus-Photo-R1800-Printer will print on paper sizes up to 13"x 44" (requires roll paper) and prints on CDs/DVDs as well.

While photo printing output is excellent, business printing (letters, ...) output from the Epson-Stylus-Photo-R1800-Printer is only OK - certainly not fast. Aside from that, I don't have any complaints. I have had prints hanging unprotected since I bought the printer and notice no sign of fading (even with the sun shining directly on them at times of the day/year).

I would buy this printer again.
