Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Cartridges

A typical color inkjet printer is good for a variety of printing tasks, but photo enthusiasts, designers, and professionals sometimes need something that can produce higher-quality output. This is where the Epson Stylus Photo R2000 comes in. It is an entry-level photo printer with professional results, but without the high price tag and bulky design. It can print a borderless 8x10 photo in a little over a minute, and the printer ink system uses 9 colors of Epson R2000 ink for more accurate color output.

The R2000 can still handle everyday printing tasks, and its paper tray holds up to 120 sheets of standard paper. There is also a single-sheet manual feeder slot for thick media, and a tray is included for printable CDs and DVDs. This is a good method for producing high-quality discs while avoiding the hassles of stick-on labels that can cause problems in some players.

Printer ink is affordable for a professional inkjet, and the nine Epson R2000 ink cartridges make it possible to reduce waste by only replacing the empty colors. This makes Stylus Photo R2000 ink cartridges some of the most cost-effective in its class, and users can even find compatible Stylus Photo R2000 ink for a reduced price.

PC Magazine gave the R2000 a rating of 4.5 out of 5, and made it an Editor's Choice. They liked the flexibility of being able to use the unit as a photo printer and a basic office printer, as well as its low price. They also found Epson R2000 ink to be affordable.

The R2000 will mainly appeal to buyers who want a dedicated photo printer that can do large borderless prints. The variety of media types and sizes supported is impressive, and the low upfront price will be appealing to those on a smaller budget.
