Review on the Epson R1900 Printer
By KRae Merk | April 29, 2010
Ok, I think I need to set the ground work on my experience with printers. For the last two years I’ve been using the Epson Stylus Pro R280, great little printer and very hardy, I’ve put that little printer through its paces since I do all my own prints, greeting cards, DVD labels and case inserts, plus everyday printing. It has held up wonderfully considering that I have been using it a little more than it was designed to do. Then my Aunt (a graphics designer) bought me the Epson Stylus Pro R1900 which I have been wanting for about a year now.
The first word out of my mouth when I printed some 4×6’s was, “WOW!” I’ve never had the luxury to use a printer bigger than my little R280 so for me, being able to use the R1900 is like driving a Honda Civic for years then suddenly getting a BMW 750Li.
Now for the review, software setup was a breeze. After printing a few test pages, I started printing a few photos for a few Mothers Day gifts and I was totally blown away by the printing quality. Then I started printing my greeting cards for Mothers Day, my brother’s birthday, and my parent’s anniversary. Again, totally blown away! (again, I’m transitioning from a Honda to a Beamer) I’m anxious to try out printing bigger prints than 4×6 on more high quality paper.
I’ve only had this printer a week now, but I am very impressed so far. But I’m looking forward to seeing how it holds up against what I call, “photographers abuse”, because my Aunt had the Epson R1800 and it didn’t hold up very well, she even replaced it during the years she had it and she isn’t near as hard on printers like I am.
Sorry, no dog photography tips this week, there will be another one next Thursday on morning light
