Back in January I became the recipient of my brother Stefan’s Epson Stylus Photo R300 color printer. He no longer used it because he had a better one and the R300 inks would run. The printer was discontinued and replaced with a newer version.
So I bought inks and premium glossy photo paper. The problems he had? I just don’t see it. I’m on vacation and I’m printing up a storm. In Photoshop Elements 8 I can even print edge to edge and the results look fantastic.
I used to be an avowed HP Inkjet fantastic but Epson’s R300 has converted me.
Glad you like it, your house is less humid than mine.
That might be the case but I have a feeling the ink formula was updated.
My prints look gorgeous. I had planned to replace the printer once the supplies are out but now I’m not so sure.
Sorry to say but I have just retired my Epson for a Canon. I found that the Epson used masses of ink so was expensive to run (I guess that’s what happens when one buys a cheap printer
. The canon is nice and fast and is far less expensive on ink!
I haven’t checked lately, but Epson’s strategy seems to be to sell the printer and make lots of money off the inks.
Originally I was planning on just getting a new Epson when this set of ink is done. But so far this printer hasn’t let me down.
