 - Amazing printer for serious photographersMy partner and I are professional artistic photographers, so the quality of our prints is extremely important to us. We recently purchased an R2400 and we've been THRILLED with the results. In the first four days of owning this printer, we printed a combination of over 100 prints (50+ @ 8.5x11, 40@ 4x6, 6 @ 11x14, 100 business cards, and several photo/text documents) on a variety of Epson papers (Ultra Premium Glossy, Premium Glossy, Premium Luster, Matte Presentation) and plain paper and we were universally delighted with the results, even when compared to images we've gotten from photo labs in the past. If you're serious about the quality of the prints you make, we strongly recommend the Epson R2400 and their line of 4 star and especially their 5 star papers. Results with a wide range of color and black and white prints were just fabulous. Strengths - true, rich, bright colors, archival prints (long lasting, no fading), fast (8.5x11 less than 2 minutes, 11x14 less than 4 minutes), easy to use, and more. Weaknesses - didn't include USB cable, but we already had spares ... perhaps they know most of us do, so that's why they don't include, but it does seem silly to sell a printer without the data cable. I'm not sure I'd recommend this printer to folks who aren't serious about their photography ... it's not cheap, neither are the inks and it helps to know what you're doing when matching papers to printers, etc. If you're more into snapshots than high quality photography, this printer is probably more than you need. But for us, it's JUST PERFECT. INKS - Yes, the inks aren't cheap, but we printed well over 100 prints and used only about 50% of the ink capacity of a single batch of cartridges, which seemed OK to us. And it's possible to purchase the inks for about half the typical price of fifteen dollars per cartridge if you look around a bit. Rating: - high quality printerThis is really a high quality printer. The reason why I bought this is because I am in college. What's more, I am deaf therefore I had to expect a communication breakdown with other students. So I ended up buying one for myself. They sent it and I got it the next day. It s so wonderful to print my homeworks! :) Doe Rating: - review of epson r2400i upgraded from the epson r800 to take advantage of the monochrome quality of the r2400. i was blown out by the quality of my first several mono prints and then the color prints. the color management scheme was very easy to implement.the print-out matched almost exactly with my monitor image.i'm very pleased. Rating: - Great for advanced photo printingI bought this printer more than a year ago and really like it. It is the next generation of Epson Stylus printer that uses pigments (not dyes) in their ink. While many pictures I used to print using the previous model (2200) look very similar when printed using R2400, it is easier and more convenient to use. And I saw improvements in certain colors. Not to mention faster speed. Which is even faster because in most cases I do not need to select highest printing quality settings to get the best print look. It takes only a few minutes to print a 13x19 inch picture. Of course, you still need to calibrate your display/computer to get the best results. I would highly recommend it. Rating:  - Epson 2400I bought this product a month ago. I was very excited to get it because I had heard so many good things about it. I began using it and I noticed I was having issues with the front loader smearing my pictures. Then the sheet feeder would not feed. THis all happened in a matter of using it only a few times. SInce I had a project due, I switched back to using my Epson R300. Mr. Reliable. Anyhow after my exhibit, I started using the R2400 again. It still wouldn't work. Having dealt with out sourced services groups before, I was reluctant to call but did. I do have to say that they were responsive. After a few questions and testing, they decided to send me a replacement. I received it within 4 days and immediately tested it out. So far so good. Although I do notice there is still a little smearing on the front loader but it may be the paper. I need to work with that more since I do a lot of work with canvas. Anyhow so far so good. I have loved my R300 so I am hoping that the new one will warm my heart as that one does. I haven't used everything on this so can only give a limited review. The colors are beautiful and vibrant. THe photos are breathtaking. Can't wait to use the black and white.
