I purchased the R2000 to replace my defunct R800 and because I needed a printer that would reproduce A3 sized prints of my wife's artwork on various types of paper. The printer was very simple to set up and no problems were encountered linking it by wi-fi to my desktop Mac and Windows laptop.

If you're finding even the more advanced home photo printers are a bit lacking, the Epson Stylus Photo R2000 is a good step-up into the more advanced capabilities that a prosumer printer offers. Be prepared to tweak image settings, however.

Prints up to 13x19; Eight color inks provide wide color gamut; Roll paper capability at a reasonable price; Excellent media-handling options

Some of our test prints were noticeably light

This is the best printer I ever seen. The quality of the photos is so high that I can not believe it. I like it very much!

Compact Design; Durable construction; Easy To Set Up; Easy To Use; Fast Print Time; Low Ink Consumption; Reliable

Worked straight out of the box. The only set up required was to create the landscape and portrait settings that were in use on my previous Epson printer. The prints are stunning, particularly the A3+ versions. I am very impressed.

I prefer Epson printers for photos especially and this printer didn't disappoint. I like the wireless feature and it was easy to set up. Price was good, too.

surperb printing but I worry about the price of the epsom inks

Pigment inks, CD disc printing, and moderate cost have kept me a loyal user of Epson Stylus Photo printers. I attribute this to the different set of ink colors compared to what's found in Epson's professional pigment-ink printers.
