"I've been taking photographs for over 30 years now, and I have used Epson printers for as long as I can remember. I have always wanted to purchase a "large format" printer, but could never decide exactly which one to purchase. I recently read an article in Shutterbug magazine profiling the Epson R2000. I started to laugh when it hit me that the printer I was still using was an Epson ”R200". I've had this printer for longer than I care to remember, and it still performed amazing! The review gave the R2000 excellent results, and it stated that Epson was offering a $150.00 rebate....I figured now would be a great opportunity to upgrade from a printer that I purchased back when Moses was a cub scout; so I went to the B&H web-site and read more reviews, and almost 100% of them were positive. The price of the printer was not too bad, however I noticed that the rebate was now $100.00, instead of $150.00 as the article in Shutterbug had stated. Also, a few of the reviews commented on the fact that the $150.00 rebate was an incentive for them to purchase the printer. I'm not sure when, or why Epson decided to lower the rebate, but went ahead and purchased the printer anyway. A few days later it arrived and I "slid" the box into my house, (the box could have contained a small person). Epson did a pretty good job of packing the printer in the box, because it took me longer to unpack it and remove the "safety tape", than it did to install the software and set the printer up to use! Anyway, The installation process was a breeze, as I opted to install the printer for use with a USB, instead of Wi-Fi. After installing the 8 ink cartridges, and allowing them to charge for about 4
minutes, I printed a test page (which is only text), and everything looked good. I then printed several
8x10's and they looked amazing! I didn't have to do any tinkering with print profiles due to the fact that I was using Epson Premium Plus photo paper (5 star), and the drop down box allowed me to just check the one I was using. The one thing I did notice, is that you cannot print a borderless 8-1/2 x 11 print. (I can do this this with my other two printers) The printer apparently defaults to an 8x10 photo, even though I was printing on an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of photo paper. The manual stated that you can however print borderless photos on 11x14, and 13x19 sheets. Also, I would assume that if you used other papers from other manufacturers, you could download the print profile for that type of paper. At the time I tested the printer, I did not have any large format paper to test because I had not yet determined which type would best suit my needs. However, if the 8x10's are of any consequence, it shouldn't be a problem. The printer has a top feeder, and a rear feeder (for thick art board, etc) and it also handles roll paper, and will print panoramas up to 13"x44". It will also print to CD and DVD printable media. All in all, I am very satisfied with both the quality of the printer, and the ease of setting it up. I would recommend this printer to anyone that would occasionally like to "impress" their friends and family with a huge photo and not have to upload the file to a website, and wait a week to receive it.

Excellent Printer

I had purchased the Epson Stylus R1800 in 2004 and got more than 12,000 prints. After researching to replace it, I decided to try the R2000. This printer is incredible! The basic print setting prints better than the best on the R1800 which I found hard to believe. The addition of the Orange cartridge on the R2000 makes a huge difference in the richness of colors. Don't waste money on more expensive printers...This one beats them all.

Great color, paper handling a little iffy
on October 30, 2014

from Altadena, CA
I've had this printer only a few days, but I've printed about 20 prints on various papers, and I've come to a couple of conclusions: (1) this printer can produce beautiful prints with rich color and great detail. The colors are a little off, but that's because I have yet to calibrate it. (2) the paper handling is not super reliable, as I have had a couple of instances where the printer has grabbed multiple sheets of paper and jammed. This was using regular Epson Glossy Photo Paper. Feeding one sheet at a time is a workaround, but for this price, it should do better.

Love it!

Installation was a snap. I love having wireless built in since this printer is huge and I didn't have space near my PC. Prints are beautiful and look exactly like what you see on your monitor (as long as you calibrate your monitor).
For all you Lightroom users make sure you set the color management profile to "Managed by Printer".

Awesome Photo Printer

I recently purchased a professional camera and wanted a printer compatiable with the quality camaera I had purchased. After some research a friend of mine that works at a local photo store reccommended the Epson Stylus Photo R2000. A purchase I am very glad to have made. The printer is very easy to set up and very user friendly. I have printed approx. 30 8 x 10 pics and two 13 x 19 pics with amazing picture clearity and depth. The colors with the right photo paper jump right out at you. I have also printed about a hundred 5 x 7 pics and again the quality is as good as a professional photo lab. Friends cannot believe that I took these pictures and printed them myself. I highly reccommend this product for your home photo lab or even professionals.

GREAT QUALITY
on March 9, 2012

The quality from this printer is outstanding. It is also very quiet. Easy to set-up (for Windows). There is a slight learning curve for those using using MAC OS X 10.7.3 Lion. After a few trials, I worked out the kinks. I wish it could print 12 x 18" prints, but I can live with 13 x 19. Beware, this printer is a beast! Make sure you have a large area to set aside for it. Professional results on a smaller budget.

Great printer
on February 6, 2013

This printer was extremely easy to set up and add to my network. I am surprised and pleased by the color photo print speed. Paper feed trays are quick to change and the paper roll holder is a snap. My only complaint is not with the printer, but the complicated procedure for the mail in rebate, even when the purchase was directly from EPSON. Other companies provide documents in the carton.

R2000 Pro Photo Review
on October 21, 2011
Posted by: mphoebus
from Delaware
I use the r2000 for everything from brochures to large photo prints. That which would normally require an ink change weekly has not affected this printer. I print astro photos which are primarily black and graphic intensive brochures for my company. The only cartridge that seems to empty quickly is the gloss enhancing one. Over all this is a great printer.
