Purchased new almost two years ago, running on a Mac platform. Initial setup out of the box was not a problem, There were some driver issues but Epson professional staff was easily available by toll free number. Despite their claim to be Mac friendly, not so much. But the problem was finally resolved after much trial and error. Only complaint is that the ink cartridges run out fairly quickly when printing larger than 8X10, which is the whole point of a large carriage printer. 99% of my work is B&W, yet it consumes color cartridges, especially light cyan, despite the lack of any toning on my part. I have called Epson support and they have no explanation as to why the printer is using up color inks when printing B&W.

After having a 1280 and 2200, the 2880 proved to have better dynamic range than the previous products and hopefully has a longer life. The 2200 was workhorse and I expect to get that and more from the 2880.Prints have been very clean, clear and, depending on the print media, are brilliant.It would be nice to have the advantage of have both Photo Black and Matte Black loaded at the same time and being able to select which cartridge to use on a given job.The down side is the high ink cost and the lack of higher capacity cartridges. This is also a consideration when having to swap photo for matt black knowing that the printer will not accept the pulled cartridge - no matter what it capacity level is.

I use the printer only for final image printing and only occasionally. The quality of prints is exceptional and gives very rich, true colors and excellent resolution and clarity. The end product matches very closely to the screen image on my late 2012 iMac in Photoshop CS6. The ink usage is high and, with 8 cartridges, can be somewhat expensive for heavy use; but worth it for the high quality of product. The printer takes quite some time to prepare for printing, but with high speed choice, printing goes quite quickly once the machine is ready to go. I would rate the printer as an excellent value. I also enjoy being able to connect my iPhone images with the printer through wifi.

I purchased this printer about a year and a half ago. It's been an excellent printer. In all that time, I don't think I've had to use the cleaning mode to clean the print heads more than a few times. I do quite a bit of printing, so I'm using it every week. I print mostly matte, so do not have to switch between photo black and matte black. There's a newer model that allows you to switch between matte and photo black without changing out cartridges. This printer allows you to make up to 13 x 19" prints. The only downside is the cost of the ink which if you print a lot is considerable. But I'm not sure if this cost is any different from any of the other printer manufacturers.

With this printer, you can easily produce gorgeous lab-quality prints that are ready to frame and hang. The quality thankfully doesn't rely solely on using Epson papers, either - I got excellent results with a variety of brands, and found a good deal on Canon Plus Glossy II that won't break the bank. Thank goodness, since this printer chugs gallons (picoliters, really, but at these prices...) of incredibly expensive ink. The speed is good - it seems better than the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 mk. II that it replaced.Epson does have drivers for OSX, but be prepared to do some legwork getting them to work. The wireless printing is great, however, if your print server (like mine) is an inconsiderate Synology box that won't play nice with photo printers.

Listen, I've been printing with a $50.00 Canon printer for the last couple of years. At first I loved it, and most of the time the prints did look pretty good to my untrained eye. But on other occasions, my picture - which is usually a partially Photoshopped art/photo combination - would look fabulous on my MAC screen, and then I'd suffer deflation after the picture printed out. But. no. more! First let me say, the better the paper you print on, the better your print will come out. Now, I'm not in any financial position to regularly print with the best, say Ilford paper, but you'll certainly get the maximum out of this baby by doing that. First printed on matte photo paper, and it looked nice. But the maximum wow was on glossy. Fully fantastic!The set up for this was handled by my significant other. He's very tech savvy, and but the set up was pretty straight forward. The Wi fi capability of this printer is a huge plus. With a printer this large, you do want the flexibility of putting it anywhere you want. I live in a not too large apartment, so this feature was a strong incentive in choosing this. Also, second bonus feature - wide format. Being I'm a NYC apartment dweller (in the Bronx), I create all of my magic in a very tiny kitchen. I've been basically forced into small format by constriction. Certainly looking forward to exploring larger prints and pictures using this Epson R-2000, even if I have to get down on the floor to work 'em. Grovel I will. Both me and my partner are very into photography and the visual arts and, if karma has its way, this printer will help the pave the way to worldwide recognition. Kidding!Ok, the prints! Beautifully color saturated and dense. Just plain lovely. Yeah, this just might be the printer of my dreams. Hell, each time I print, it's like getting a gift.

The R2000 is my fourth printer and my second Epson printer. Of all those, the R2000 was by far the easiest to setup. The Wi-Fi connection works from anywhere in my two story house. The ultra chrome inks produce the best colors I have ever seen from a home printer. Printing speed in color is average. Gray scale printing is very fast. I have not printed enough to determine the per print cost. However; my position has always been that once you decide to invest in a printer, the print quality far outweighs the print cost. If you need a wide format printer, the R2000 is superb!

I bought the Epson R2000 because it was rated one of the best photo printers.It is the worst. The pictures after a few are printed start getting line through the photo. I phoned customer service and they said I was using the wrong paper and they were a bit rude. I also ran the test page and cleaned it. Still not good. So I changed to the Epon photo paper and it still prints with lines through the picture after a while. I was stiffed on my rebate of $100.00 also! This printer was over $600.00!!! I will never buy an Epson again!!!! It makes a great table top.

I just installed the R2000 on my 2nd computer with the wifi set up and it works good so far. It nice to be able to print without hooking up the USB cable. I din't follow the directions at first and it stop in the middle some place. Then I followed the directions (that is - don't plug in the USB cable until you are told to) and it was installed in about 10 minutes or so.I print mostly "people" using the Epson icc profiles in Photoshop and the printer prints beautifully just like the R1900 I had. Super quiet. I wonder sometimes if it is even printing. The bigger ink cartridges are nice too.If you are wondering if this is good enough for you - I rest assure you that you will love the output from this printer. The gloss adds a nice clear coat to make the glossy photos something special. See if you can catch it on sale and save $100 or so.

The print quality is excellent. Loading media is a whole different game. I use Epson Satin Canvas cut to 8.5x11 rear loaded as instructed. There is no release mechanism to aid in loading and feeding limp canvas into the rear over the white feed wheels is very difficult. Surely this could be easily fixed with a simple spring and release lever. Also, I find that sometimes when it rejects the media as loaded, you can click eject and it works (about 50% of the time). Otherwise, when it rejects loading to print, it is a real hassle to get it working right.

I absolutely love the prints I get from this printer. I print both photos and graphic designs and the colors are sharp, vibrant, rich, deep and beautiful. It really looks best with Epson papers. I was extremely happy for about 8 months but then the printer started having paper feed problems. Thankfully it was still under warranty and Epson sent me a new replacement printer, which so far is working excellent. I use this printer as part of my business. I print heavily (about 100-200 prints per week) so perhaps this printer is not meant for such heavy use. It might be better for less use. Overall, I would definitely recommend it for it's print quality. If you are planning to use it commercially or for heavy use, you may want to look for a more qualified printer. I am happy though.

Professional Graphic Designer (retired) and amateur photographer. I've had my Epson R2000 about 2 months and already I'm longing to have my old Epson 1280 back, with its 2-cartridge system (compared to 8 cartridges with the 2000). While print quality and color usage with the R2000 seem reasonable, the printer drinks "Gloss Optimizer" at the rate of 4 or 5 cartridges to 1 color cartridge. As I prefer to print on matte paper, why do I need gloss optimizer and why does it use so much? Is there a way to bypass gloss optimizer? Bob D

This gargantuan printer prints incredible photos. There are endless color adjustments possible and the prints are sharp and clear. I find the Adobe RGB setting to be most realistic color for fleshtones. The downside for me, and the reason I have to return this printer, is that although the printer is wireless and is supposed to be one of the printers that is Epson iprint enabled, the ONLY things that I was able to print through the iprint app were JPEGs. The app brings up choices of photos, docs, cloud storage, etc. as selections for printing, but each and every file type except JPEG produces an "unsupported file type" error. The printer is also not (yet) compatible with Epson's email printing. To be clear, I was able to print all the file types I needed from my home computer/laptop. But much of what I want to print, I want to be able to do remotely from an android device.I contacted Epson about the JPEG only issue, as the types of projects I would be printing would include files other than JPEG and I regularly use andoid devices for at least parts of my projects. Epson's response was as follows: "At this time, the JPEG file type is all that is supported. They are always updating this so it will most likely have more support in the future." I wish they could have given me something more concrete - what additional remote printing options will be available and in what time frame. So I have to reluctantly return this printer, but will keep an eye on it to possibly purchase again in the future when updates to connectivity have been made.

Contrary to some reviews the ink consumption is not bad at all. I have printed a 13" x 8ft panaroma, a 8.3" x 15ft panaroma and over 30 8.5 x 11 prints on the first set of ink cartridges. I did have to replace the gloss cartridge, but that is a small price to pay for the outstanding quality. The color,IQ and clarity is amazing. Everyone thinks I had prints made it is so good. There was no drying out even after a 2 week trip to China. I highly recommend this printer. For the price is is a bargain considering what you get.

I received my printer yesterday and have spent the last 14 hours trying to get it set up and running. The instructions are incomplete and inadequate. I still have not got it right. I saw no information in the instructions regarding how changing black ink cartridges will alter the icc paper profiles available so I spent 4 your trying to figure what happened to my glossy paper choices. I now think I have it operating but at about 20% capability. I would not suggest anyone purchase this or any other epson printer if you are running an IMAC.

When the 2880 works it makes great photos. It rarely works. The sheet feeder works about 1 in 20 attempts (more often not at all). Once in a while an unplug reboot works to get me one or two prints (before again refusing to feed). I'm just waiting to use the hundreds of dollars of ink I have before getting replacing the printer. Not only would I not recommend to a friend I would give to an enemy. Hint: To change black inks you have to un-install and re-install the printer.

As a composer I use the printer primarily to make enlarged copies of complex music scores.It took a while until I found the correct paper to use , but once I did I found that it was perfect.I also use it quite often to print unique labels right on to my CD's jand it is excellent for that purpose and quite easy to use. the ink does tend to be a bit pricey, however if you use the Epson inks they're quite good.I highly recommend this printer.

This printer is a terrific. I have been taking college courses in photography. Other students ask me "where did you have that printed" I say "at home". Then they say " I wish I had a printer like that".The printer is easy to use. I do a fair amount of black and white printing the three shades of black helps to get better black and white prints.Color prints are also very good quality. It is best to use Epson paper.

Excellent printer for someone just beginning to print large format photos. Good and true color reproduction. Accepts most papers but is difficult to adjust to some sizes, takes persistence to determine just how to fit a digital photo to some paper sizes. Reasonable ink conservation depending on type of paper used. You learn a lot from this before stepping up in printer quality if you are doing art studio work.

I was quite disappointed with this printer. It is slow, for one thing, and rather complicated in terms of the manipulation of its capabilities. The most egregious condition is with the inks. When one of the cartridges runs out, the printer will not print, so you must get a whole new set. The expense of this is unacceptable.I had this printer for 4-5 months, then sold it for less than half of its original cost.

I have used Canon and HP printers in the past. They were in the $ 200 - $ 350 range. At this time I have been able to devote much more of my time to photography. So I tried the Epson R2000, money well spent. When I print a photo now it looks just like the one that I took with my camera. There is a learning curve with this printer which I lived through and was worth it. I paid a little more but I'm happy with the qaulity of the finished product. At this time I use Epson paper which I like very much and has a good selection.

I've had my Epson R2000 for about 2 months now and I really love it. Setting up the printer was a breeze and I'm not the best with this type of thing. But I set it up myself without any problems.This is the first photo printer I've owned (that isn't an all-in-one) and I'm really enjoying printing with it. I'm learning about ICC profiles, color management and this printer makes it all very easy to use.Except for a few prints that did not come out well (could be my settings, not sure yet) every thing else came out very nice- color prints as well as black and white.I also don't fully agree with the comments about the ink usage. I've only had to replace 2 cartridges so far and I've printed over 50 8.5x11 prints, as well as a few 13x19. This doesn't seem too bad to me.Overall I'm very happy with this printer.

Pros:Excellent print quality, reasonably fast.Cons:Single sheet feed failed after three prints, small tank capacity and high ink consumption on high quality setting means frequent purchase of cartriges.I can live without the single sheet feed, but it's failure is disappointing. This is an expensive printer and quality control should be better.
