"After much research and reading expert and customer reviews, I bought the Epson R1900. I am very pleased with the quality of the color prints. The colors, especially the reds, are very sharp and vibrant on the best photo setting. The facial tones are absolutly beautiful. I have an old scanner without all of the bells and whistles found in newer photo scanners. I scanned older photos with poor quality and was very pleased with the capabities of this printer with the end result being a beautiful photo. I found Epson's technical support team to be very helpful. It is my opinion that the quality of photos printed with the Epson R1900 far exceeds those printed from photo labs."
"I dumped an Epson 925 which was a great printer, but clogged quickly, for an R1900. The Best decision I made. From the start, the pictures were gorgeous and I am a rank amateur. I was put off at first at the separate tanks, but quickly saw the logic of only replacing the needed color. Having two types of black and the Gloss Optimizer is a convenience. I love this printer!"
"I had been using Epson Stylus Photo 870 for several years and it finally gave up the ghost, banding and bad color, etc. After vascillating for a few months I decided on the R1900 and have not regretted my decision. The photos are fantastic, what you see on the monitor will be tranferred to photo paper. Cons: Cartriges are small and not readily available locally(have to order directly from Epson) and I like to keep two extras of each color on hand. I'm not a professional, just take a lot of photos with my digital SLR of grandkids, scenery and wildlife.
"We had a 1800 and it died. Gosh that was the worse day ever in my life!! I haven't been able to print a decent print on matte since that day. This printer has no idea what a decent green is!! OMG if I could just get my 1800 back!!! Oh and it sucks ink down like it's gulping down a milk shake!!! If anyone has an 1800 that works.. let me know.
Normally I would recommend Epson but not this make and model"
