Great prints straight off. Hate Espon Ink prices so have gone for Lyson refillable, once profiled great prints, amazing skin tones, just waiting for the weather to break now to get out

Great Picture Quality

Ink cost; Trying to perfect BW

If you take your photography seriously, either as a semi-professional or an enthusiastic amateur, you may well want to print your photos larger than an A4 printer can manage.

High-quality photo prints; Three different paper feeds; Wireless connection

No memory card slots or LCD; Poor plain paper print speed; Wireless setup requires USB connection

Replacing the Stylus Photo R1900 in Epson's enthusiast's printer range, the Stylus Photo R2000 uses the same UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 pigment ink set. However, each ink cartridge contains 17 ml of ink, compared with 11.4ml in the R1900.

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

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.

This printer is my second EPSON, and the last. I bought it a few months ago, it printed OK after an initial phase where it seemed to always want to perform cleaning cycles without my permission. Then I moved - the printer refused to start in the new apartment. I thought ok, one victim of the move.

Good prints when it works

Clogs frequently; randomly refuses to start due to a QC failure (wifi bug

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.

T he one-hour 4x6 jumbo print may be no more than a memory but that doesn't mean the screen has replaced the print. Screens are lovely, but the ones that are handy are too small and the ones that are big enough aren't portable.

To be clear, the Epson Stylus Photo R2000 isn't a ground breaking product. It uses the same ink as the R1900 it replaces, but with the AccuPhoto HG technology, print quality is improved with better tonal gradations.
