Quite pleased
Date of Review: Oct 29, 2005
I purchased this printer when the ink for my Dell started to cost as much as a new printer. I am very pleased with the capabilities and quality of this printer. I scanned in an 8x10 portrait taken at a professional photo studio, reprinted it on the Epson R200, and can't help but believe the color on the reprinted version is better than the original, without any color correction.
The ability to print directly onto CD/DVD is a very cool option. The printable CD's and DVD's that are required, are hard to find.
The only downfall is that when you look at the overall cost of all 6 ink tanks, it can be very expensive. However, since you only replace the empty color, you are not spending all of that money at once.
While I am very happy with this printer for me. I am shopping for a printer for my 12-year old's computer with cheaper ink. He prints a lot of full-color, full-page images, which do not need to be photo-quality, which would be too costly with this printer.
