Summary: Fabulous Printer
Comment: I have used a number of printers over the years and had pretty good luck with most of them whether Epson Canon or HP. But when I got got the R2400 I was blown away. The richness and detail I was able to get from my prints was staggering. I've been using the matt black and matt papers with a great deal of success. The fact that you have to swap out ink cartridges to use glossy papers is a drag plus you end up losing ink in the change over. I use a 1280 for glossies. It's not the printer this is but its a workable compromise for the time being. I found it worked perfectly running OSX Tiger as long as I used a direct cable (rather than through a hub). It works fine with Leopard except the printer utility to check ink level etc doesn't work in Leopard. So tracking ink levels is more guess work than science. Hoping for an update from epson or apple. That aside the results from printing from photoshop, lightroom or iPhoto have been gallery worthy.

Summary: Epson R2400 right out of the box
Comment: As a long time Epson user, I am quite pleased with the R2400 so far. Just recently finishing some work on the 1280 (which the R2400 replaces) I am very glad that the new printer produced very well-matched results right out of the box.
The printer arrived in good physical condition and has worked properly from the start. No problems loading the inks and initializing the cartridges. There were no problems loading the drivers or the special profiles. The test page happened as it should on the first try.
At this point there have only been about 25 pictures run through the R2400 and the impact on the ink supply seems reasonable. None have reached the half way mark. For the initial tests I started out using glossy and lustre papers but switched to matte to see how the ink cartridge swap out went. My worries about that proved unfounded: so far so good.
The system is PC running Intel core duo with 4gb RAM. My message to prospective buyers is not to fear...the R2400 operates as advertised. I look forward to many satisfying images from this one and am glad to have the K3 inkset rather than the pigment inks used in the 1280 (the main reason to change.)

Summary: amazing prints
Comment: This printer is simply amazing. Assuming you have paper profiles, accurate monitor calibration and know how to set up photoshop's printer dialogue, you will have faultless prints. Truly impressive. And the Advanced b/w settings make for wonderful black and white prints. If the print speed were a bit better, and the cost to print was more reasonable, I'd give the R2400 5 stars. If your output warrants it, for an almost immediately better cost/print go for the 3800.

Comment: Probably a great printer, but who knew that the latest print drivers don't work with OS 10.5? I sure wish I would have known before I bought this worthless junk.
