The first thing worth saying about the R1900 is: wow – it’s fast. If speed is what you need, buy this printer. If absolute, professional quality is what you’re after, however, you might have to dig a little deeper into the old wallet. While the R1900...

Epson's Stylus Photo R1900 inkjet photo printer provides useful features for both amateur and professional photographers. It can print on directly onto CD/DVDs and can handle both A3+ media and roll-feed paper, making it a great all-purpose printer for the home studio. However, some banding issues mean that this is better for printing concepts and prototyping rather than the final product.Being an A3+ capable photo printer, it's no surprise that the Stylus Photo R1900 is bigger than your ave...

Excellent photo print quality, build, design, and features.
Slow set up and installation, slow print speeds, head cleaning uses a lot of ink, print heads need frequent cleaning.

Brilliant glossy prints. Great color accuracy. Quiet. Moderately fast. Reasonable ink cost per print.
Blackandwhite photos may show slight color casts on some papers. Basic photo setting does not put out quality prints.
