The front of the R1900 is dominated by the front paper tray, where the paper ends up after it has been printed. Above this is the cover that goes over the special paper feed slot for the CD/DVD guide tray.

Front the side, you can see how big the R1900 is and how much space it needs; with all of the paper trays extended, it is over 27 inches deep and over 15 inches high. Below the rear paper tray is the single sheet guide, which allows for odd-sized bits of paper to be fed into the printer.

The back of the printer affords a view of the paper tray (in the closed position in this shot) and the single sheet guide. This can be replaced with rollers for printing from a long roll of paper for producing banner-sized prints. Also worth noting is the two USB ports, which allows the printer to be connected to two computers at once.
Ink Cartridges
The R1900 uses 8 separate ink cartridges, all of which can be swapped individually. They contain Yellow, Magenta, Matte Black, Red, Orange, Photo Back, Gloss Overcoat and Cyan. The gloss overcoat cartridge is used to create an extra glossy layer on the top of prints to avoid the slightly bumpy look that you sometimes see on glossy prints, where the gloss coating has expanded with the ink, but hasn't expanded in the ink-free areas. The gloss enhancer is a clear ink that is sprayed into white areas to make them expand in the same way.

In the Box
You don't get an awful lot of extras with the R1900, but the basics are in there. In the box, you get the following
• Quick Start guide
• Set of inks
• Extra Gloss Overcoat cartridge
• CD/DVD guide tray
• Roll paper holder
• CD-ROM with drivers and software
Conspicuously absent from here is the USB cable; you'll need to bring your own. There is also no included image editing application; Epson is obviously assuming that you have your own.
