bdickson 0 Posted December 20, 2004 My trusty old HP Photosmart P1000 is showing signs of age, and I'm in the market for a new printer. Does anyone have an opinion on the Epson R800? Or any other photo quality printer in the up to $400 price range? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davephdv 0 Posted December 21, 2004 I have an R800. When I make prints for people on it they rave about the quality. Certainly the best consumer level ink jet printer I've ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeaDogDiver 0 Posted December 30, 2004 I agree, the R800 performs very well for a modestly priced photo printer. I just happened to come across it at buydig.com for $369 Plus you can get a $100 rebate if you also happen to be in the market for a Nikon digital camera over 4MP.

waterdog 0 Posted January 2, 2005 About 9 months ago I bought a Canon i960 printer. It replaced my Epson Photo EX. You may want to look at Canon. I think my i960 was about $180. The large format Canon (i9000 or something) was about $400. My Canon is very fast, VERY quiet, and has 6 ink tanks. Truth be told I bought the Epson 2200 for myself this Xmas, but my experiences with the Canon are very happy. One drawback for sure is Epson prints last longer..

robmcmahon 0 Posted January 17, 2005 I was also looking at the R800 and the cheaper R200. Has anyone had any experience with the R200 ? I tend to send anything I want large off to the lab for printing so will tend to use it for 6x4 and 7x5. Just wondering if the R800 was worth the extra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
