Epson Stylus Photo R3000

An outstanding high-end wireless photo printer

CD/DVD direct print ; Front panel Pictbridge socket ; Easy cartridge replacement

No memory card readers ; Slow on plain paper ; Multiple setups can be fiddly

Lift the top cover and a smaller internal cover and you have access to the nine ink cartridges. Yes, we did say nine, as this machine includes light cyan and magenta inks in addition to vivid shades and four blacks, with both photo and matte, plus...

Epson Stylus Photo R3000 review

We take a look at the latest Epson printer

Good print quality ; 2pl droplet size ; Up to A3 prints ; Convenient cartridge arrangement

Ink costs ; Not a massive improvement over the R2880

For many enthusiast photographers Epson's Stylus Photo R2880 is the printer they use, or aspire to using. Though it produces excellent prints, it suffers from two often cited problems, both of which the new R3000 addresses.

Epson Stylus Photo R3000 Printer Review

We have the Epson Stylus Photo R3000 A3+ printer in for review, who better to review it than someone who sells prints?

This printer is capable of stunning output and on the B&W output alone I would be tempted to buy it as a replacement for my existing machine when it finally fails.; Printing is very quiet and if using the normal photo-papers very fast.; Gloss prints...

I have some concerns about the latch mechanism for the front-loading path (but have no evidence to support this concern, it just seems unnecessarily complex for such a critical process when the consequence of failure would be to stop the printer working)

Epson Stylus Photo R3000

The Epson enthusiast A3+ printer has evolved with a new design, increased ink capacity and Wi-Fi connectivity.

This is a very impressive printer in many ways, with the print quality really standing out, especially the black & white printing. It’s great to also have new elements like Wi-Fi and the front art paper loading. The larger inks will certainly make life...

Epson Stylus Photo R3000

Epson's high-end photo printersthe ones that are aimed at professional photographers and graphic artists as well as serious amateursare universally acknowledged as among the best, so it's no surprise that the Epson Stylus Photo R3000 ($849.99 direct)...

Fast. Impressively high-quality photos and graphics. Prints on cut sheets up to 13 by 19 inches. Fine art papers available

Lack of a rated duty cycle makes it unclear how much you can print per month without shortening the printers' useful life

Gorgeous output at fast speed makes the Epson Stylus Photo R3000 of interest to both serious amateurs and professional photographers and graphic artists.
