Rating: Summary: Always Epson Review: I have always bought Epson printers, they have always been reliable, with sharp colourful outputs, cartridges and papers have always been at affordable prices. I am in the graphics industry and i've had my Epson Stylus photo 2000P for about a year and i still love it. People have always asked me where I get my printing done:) I always say "I printed it at home" with a big smile on my face because I know I'm saving money This printer can do composites as well as postscript printing using a ripper. This printer is great for anyone doing professional desktop publishing of any kind. I also recommend purchasing Epson StylusRIP software for doing any postscript work or vector graphics (printers cannot print PS or vectors without a RIP and not all printers can understand RIP, but this one does so well!). The printer works on USB and the ripper works on parallel so switching between them is so easy. I also noticed this printer doesn't run out of ink as fast as others and with the extra colour it gives very realistic outputs. The only precaution is that you MUST use Epson paper with it. Epson has a different paper technology and using other papers with this printer tends to make the inks run.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic Photo Printer Review: I just purchased this Epson Photo 2000P and have to say that the quality is fabulous. I have to say that I do have the latest Nikon Coolpix 5000 (5 Megapixel) camera which I am sure also leads to great quality. I have had several HP Photo printers and was very pleased with them. But the difference between this printer, (which is expensive but well worth it) and the HP's is like comparing a Rolls Royce to a basic car. The basic car will do the job but won't provide the exquisite quality. The HP will print smaller prints very well. The Epson 2000P truly makes brilliant large prints This is a printer for someone who really wants fantastic high quality prints with beautiful detail. Ideally you will also want a high end camera to ultimately get the incredible prints.
Rating: Summary: Exceptional Archival Printer Review: I own this printer. It does beautiful archival prints. I know of some photographers who have gotten the Epson 2000P to use instead of Iris prints. They feel the Epson 2000P has better print quality and longevity than a ... ... Iris print. The only issue I have with the Epson 2000P is that there is some bronzing when printing on glossy photo papers. My favorite paper with this printer is the Epson archival matte. The prints are beautiful on this paper. If you are interested in archival printing and can handle only doing smaller prints (8.5 X 11), Epson has a new printer called an Epson Stylus C80.
Rating: Summary: A bit disappointing Review: I work with photography, and I do a lot of work on Photoshop and Fine Art printing. The results I got on Glossy and Premium Semigloss photo paper where really good,sharpness seems better than 1270. When it cames to color, things take a different shape, especially on Archival Mate Papers and Lumijet Fine Art Papers, the results doesn't impress that much, and the 1270 shows a large superiority. The software seems quite complete, but actually doesn't help much. You are probably better using it all on Automatic settings. I say this after spending weeks, lots of papers and ink, testing the configurations that lacks a good manual. I must say that for the kind of work I do, I was disappointed with the results. I Didn't get the feedback and professional results It was expected.
Rating: Summary: Very happy with the 2000P Review: I'm not a professional photographer, but I am a serious scrapbooker and photo enthusiast. I bought this printer for its archival ink and large format, and I'm very happy with the prints I'm getting. It is somewhat sensitive to matching the paper setting with the paper, but once you get the right combination you get fabulous prints reliably. I've used it a lot lately in printing pictures from a 4-week trip to Europe, and it does seem to go through color cartridges quickly but the quality is worth it.
Rating: Summary: Oh My Lord! Review: I've had mine for about two weeks. Before this, I was using a very expensive (20,000 dollars! with a 30,000 dollar print manager!) Canon laser printer that I've had access to. I can't believe it, but the prints from this Epson are better! Much better. I don't know what else to say. I suppose that if I were interested in printing speed, I would have to stay with the other thing. But I want perfect prints - and I have them with the Epson. Perfect! If you want large output (the 2000P prints 13x19 inch beauties, and up to 13x44), then go no further.

Rating: Summary: Epson Stylus Photo 2000P Inkjet Printer Review: Like new.Perfect shape and only 5 months old. All Epson papers work on with this printer. You can print from 8X10 to 13"X19" size prints.The color is spot on and the printer itself is very easy to use from turning it on to changing inks. I am selling it because I am a professional photographer that shoots and prints in black and white primarily and I have found a new black and white printer that was made exclusively for black and white printing only. I can also ship it in its original box.

Rating: Summary: Not a printer for professionals Review: The 2000P has far too noticeable a dot pattern on all the medias available. Watercolor paper prints the best, because it isn't as noticeable. But, for professional photographers and artists, the prints are too dotty and digital to make it into a quality exhibition, display, or any collection as Epson would have it. Phoning customer service and requesting a return only returned their boasts about archival quality. If it ain't broken, no returns, and how 'bout that archival quality. So what? If a print is sub-standard, who cares if it lasts for 160 years? This is not a true photographic quality printer. For that, stick to traditional photographic techniques. Additionally, the greenish cast is no joke, and ICC profiles don't work well at all. Stylus RIP software for Postscript printing only allows for EPS files to print. And it prints the file at one-half the resolution, so now the RIP files look like 360 dpi output. No good again for signage, etc. from Quark or Pagemaker. Inquiring with Epson about the RIP issues got back comments about perceived color vs. real color, and no comments about the resolution problems. Is a 1280 better? At least it would be cheaper. The 2000P burns through color cartridges.
