The Epson R1900 Photo Printer is a great printer for the serious photographer; it produces big, beautiful prints with good color and can handle big prints. It can't, however, pint quickly and is rather slow at printing on plain paper.
Performance:
We saw good performance overall from the R1900; colors were accurate, the gamut of colors that the printer cold reproduce was wide and the blacks were dark. The level of detail the printer could represent was also very good; fine details in documents and photos were cleanly printed, especially in the Photo RPM mode. This was rather slow to print, though, so it's a trade off.
Inks & Media:
The R1900 uses 8 inks, which can be replaced individually. It can also handle a wide range of papers, from 4 x 6 inches p to 19 x 13 inches, and even bigger (up to 19 x 44 inches) from a roll of paper.
Other Features:
There are not other major features on the R1900; it can't scan, fax, copy or do the other things that many other printers can do. It was also rather slow at printing documents, making it a good pick only for those who want to print out big photos and who don't care so much about documents (or who have another printer that can handle these).
