Epson Stylus Photo R2400 InkJet Printer

The r2400 will handle all types and sizes of paper, including canvas. And as in other Epson printers it uses the archival ink which is in my opinon the best out there. Due to its size, it is not a printer that will sit on your desk top and has a 16ft. cabel limitation. The reason for the purchase is I work in large format panaramic shots, and with the paper size varying from shot to shot and customer to customer the versitility of printing on sheet or roll paper is great. It also saved me money by reduce my printing cost in half. Now when printing a large shot , up to 13x44 inches , I have the control of the color and brightness of the photo start to finish, and do not have to rely on an outside vendor. I my opinion, after my camera, this is a must have for any serious digital photographer. Print Contol, size control and cost control are three good reasons to purchase this printer.

I paid for item on 12/6/06. I paid $651 including $40 in shipping. The seller never sent me the item. I can't get anyone to help me get the item from the seller....So, I can say my rating is poor.

The only thing that I and many others would like to see in this fantastic printer is LARGER ink cartridges. This printer has everything that a professional photographer likes and more. I read a lot of reviews, both user and professional, almost all say the same thing "fantastic printer". The size and weight is geared toward home use or small studio without giving up any quality in prints. I have used pro versions of Epson printers for eight years and this printer lives up to the same high quality and reasonable cost. I use the printer for art purposes, my photos are important, quality is a must. The Epson R2400 delivers, I upgraded from an Epson Pro 2200 (works perfect after over two years), I wanted the best available for Black & White photo printing and this machine is perfect for my needs. Set up is fast and easy, ten minutes from the box to producing the first print, easy instructions, I had no problems. The on screen menu is easy to read (much like the epson 2200), the difference is with the photo paper options that are available, more. The menu reflects which black cartridge is loaded, Photo or Matt black, an instant reminder of which papers you are recommended to use. Great printer, highly recommend.

Still getting used to the printer; but print quality is simply terrific - both color and monochromatic. Epson support did qualify for me that only USB cable will work with Vista - my only glitch in setup.

Very happy with this printer particularly because it has resolved the issue of black and white printing without color cast. It also does a beatiful job with color printing. It's my first foray into printing out of the old school black and white (wet) darkroom and I've been encouraged with the results.

The R2400 is very fast and it has awesome colors which are very brilliant and sharp. Very well worth the money even for me a novice photographer. I really enjoy this printer and think all should have two. Thanx ME

A great printer for the professional or serious amateur. It is a large footprint on the desk but the large format options more than make up for that.

Some of the best prints I have seen, especially when matched with Red River photo papers and processed through Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

Great printer. Has a bit of a learning curve. Beautiful prints. Looking to use it for digital negatives. I am concerned about ink cartridge capacity...though there are third party outfits that offer other solutions.

This is an entry level printer for advanced amatuers and professionals in the graphic arts especially photography for three reasons. First the K3 inks it uses are pigment-based. This provides levels of vibrance and permanance not possible with dye-based inks.

Second, every paper manufacturer, not just Epson, provides profiles for use with this printer and its inks. ICC profiles are an absolute requirement for accurate representations of colors in a color managed workflow.

Finally, it can handle larger prints than most printers--up to 13" x 44".

In short, if you are a photo enthusiast or seriously into the graphic arts then this is a printer for you. Printers in this price range from other manufacturers, though very capable, simple do not measure up in the three areas I mentioned above, especially in the area of available ICC profiles.

The price was good and the product was described correctly. That's what I liked. It was also shipped quickly and priority mail service was offered for faster service.

this printer makes excellent pictures on every photo paper out there. the price was great for this printer. i have not found any thing to dislike at this time. I like shopping on ebay because you can found everything yiu need here.
