Introduction |
|
The Epson Stylus R1900 Photo Printer (or the R1900 to its friends) is a serious piece of printing equipment for the photographer who wants to produce large top quality prints. It can handle paper at up to 13 x 19 inches, and can produce even bigger 13 x 44 inch prints from a special roll of paper. And it does a great job; we found that the prints it produces were sharp, had accurate color and would grace even the most discerning photographer's walls. But it's a rather slow printer at the highest quality settings, and it's big and bulky. |
