Epson Stylus Photo R800 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 8.50 (out of 10)
Epson's Stylus Photo R800 ink-jet printer features a new version of the company's popular UltraChrome ink, which uses red and blue in place of light magenta and light cyan to increase the gamut, or range, of color that it can reproduce. Test prints from the R800 had brighter primary colors than prints from my $699 Stylus Photo 2200 (October 2002) and $1,795 Stylus Pro 4000 (June 2004) printers.

| The Stylus Photo R800 is a 7 colour, 5760 x 1440 optimised dpi inkjet printer that offers borderless printing at print sizes up to A4 and is aimed at the professional and amateur photographer. It uses UltraChrome Hi-Gloss pigment inks, which have previously only been used in the Epson 2100/2200 A3 printer. These pigment inks are archival quality, offering print life of over 80 years on certain papers. As if that wasn't enough, Epson have also introduced Red and Blue inks, which create a colour gamut rivalling that of silver halide photos, and they have reduced the ink droplet size to just 1.5 picolitres. So is the Stylus Photo R800 the ultimate A4 photo printer? Read my review to find out. |

| The Epson Stylus Photo R800 is a new desktop printer that uses Epson's UltraChrome Hi-Gloss pigment inks. Designed to be resistant to light and moisture, it is estimated that prints made using these inks will resist fading up to 80 year - although Epson does not guarantee it. |

| Almost any ink jet printer today can print photos at something approaching photo quality. But for professional photographers and serious amateurs, nothing short of true photo quality will do. This is the group that the Epson Stylus Photo R800 takes aim at, and it does a good job of hitting the mark. |
