If Wi-Fi or roll paper printing is an important feature that you could use, the Epson Stylus Photo R2000 comes recommended (with the caveat that you'll have to cut the roll paper yourself). In other aspects it's an easy equal to other high-end photo printers like Canon's best PIXMA Pro models.

The Epson Stylus Photo R2000 ($499.99 direct) is, for the moment at least, the least expensive of Epson's high-end, near-dedicated photo printers, defined as printers that are meant primarily for photos and graphics, even though you could use them for office tasks if you had to.

Fast; Low price; Impressively high-quality photos and graphics; Prints on cut sheets up to 13 by 19 inches; Fine art papers available

Lack of a rated duty cycle makes it unclear how much you can print per month without shortening the printers' useful life

The Epson Stylus Photo R2000 is an A3+ photo printer with integrated 802.11n Wi-Fi and roll media printing. It's a great choice if you're interested in printing panoramas, but it's also adept at A3 and A4 photo printing as well.

I bought the R2000 last fall and love it. It prints equal to or better than the prints I was sending out to professional labs. The set up was very easy. Inks last a long time and when you do need to change them it's quite simple.

excellent buy I can't believe how cheap it was and how expensive the head print is.I bought this printer without the head print i have the head print from my previous printer. first i thought to take my printer to get it fix but i went to ebay and found that they were selling the whole printer brand...

I have two Epson R1800 printers, one of which is completely worn out from use. The R2000 is a replacement and will be used exclusively for printing high quality photos, mostly 8-1/2 x 11 size, until I wear out the second R1800 with other work.

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.

At the outset, let me highlight that I am not the worlds most technologically confident person, computers are way too complicated for me. However I needed to replace my expired office printer for a printer that would major on photograph printin;.

" The R2000 is a step up from the R1900 it seems to me ... even better, quieter, and faster. I thought I had a good one with the R1900, but with improvements in the software and in the printer and ink system, combined with Epson's papers, it is unimaginable that anyone could do better.
