Great printer
Date of Review: Aug 28, 2005
As a graphic designer I wanted to find the best quality printer for a reasonably low price. I bought the Epson R200 to replace my HP 1210 All-In-One (Printer, Scanner, Copier) which I only owned for 2 months (I only use the scanner and copier now). The Epson R200 printer is far superior! It's easier to manipulate the paper feed (regarding various sizes), sends a warning message when ink is running low, the cartridges can be purchased at most office supply stores or online through Epson and has a sleek, appealing design. The selling point for me regarding this model was the fact that it could print directly onto CDs (be aware that you'll have to purchase CDs that are made for this feature). I used the Epson R200 excessively while printing invitations, programs, CD labels and covers, breath mint labels, thank you cards and archived family photographs for my wedding. It worked wonderfully! Only have two complaints: it seems to go through ink quickly, but I usually print high quality output. It also tends to print text (especially script) a little grainy on card stock...not crisp quality.
