Summary: Outstanding with instant gratification!
Comment: I quickly rationalized this purchase when I grew disappointed with my local lab processing. I had asked that they not modify my digital photos and yet they continue to make their own corrections. If you own a digital SLR and a good image editing program you can pump out some outstanding prints that rival your local lab. Epson has announced a newer version of this printer that will allow for even larger prints than 8X10, if it performs as well as the R800, count me in!

Summary: Outstanding Quality
Comment: This may not be the best printer for you if you are primarily interested in quick and easy snapshot printing, and the print quality is mediocre (at best) for text. But with a color-calibrated monitor, Photoshop, and the right color profiles, this printer can produce amazing photgraphic prints that rival those from a photo lab. Third-party support is excellent, with a wide range of icc profiles available from paper manufactuers including Ilford, Red River, Moab, and others. Epson's pigment inks produce archival prints that will last for 100+ years without fading.

Summary: life-like reproduction
Comment: I have done a lot of research in determining my choice in photo printers. I looked at the Epson R800, Canon Pixma IP8500 and HP's 8450. I also tested those printers at the local stores. By and far, the Epson R800 produced the best fidelity of reproduction. Certainly the Canon produced nice prints, was fast, and inks are cheap, but the Epson had the best quality prints. The Epson's prints also seem to last the longest. The HP had a lot of extras but didn't do so well on the color reproduction.
So if you want quality, take the Epson. The best on-line review of the above printers will be found in Tom's Hardware guide, if you are interested.

Comment: This printer is every bit as good as most of the others say. But it is not a bonanza in a box. Yet. All by itself, the printer will quietly turn out workmanlike prints that are frankly pretty ho hum. However, extraordinary printer software such as Qimage (disclosure--no relationship whatsoever--just a rabid user) together with attention to color management will pay huge dividends in prints that truly jump out and grab you. Only with the two working together will the true potential of this printer really materialize. The proof of the pudding: my wife was sure I must have secretly bought a really expensive camera to obtain such dramatic improvements. You'll never, ever go back to film

Summary: Incredible print quality!
Comment: I have been using this printer with my Canon 20D camera. The results are amazing. They look just like a photographic print. Extemely sharp, excellent color reproduction.
This printer doesn't have some of the fancy features like being able to print directly from a memory card, but this is not what it is for; if you are serious about photography, have your own digital darkroom, and you want excellent quality prints, this is the printer for you.
