Epson R200 photos

[psigna]

I finally broke down and bought the Epson R200 today. I have not printed a DVD yet, but I did print some photos. I have a 2.1 MP camera, and these photos were taken on the highest setting. I did not retouch them at all.

My previous printer was an Epson C62, which did a good job oh pictures, but this printer ROCKS. Excellent prints, and from a low MP camera. I can only imaging large prints from it with a higher MP camera.

Anyway, just thought I would share. Making a backup of Shark Tale right now, so I hope to print a DVD soon!!!!

psigma,
I have to agree with you that the R200 prints excellent pictures. I just bought the printer for the sole purpose of printing on DVDs/CDs because I already had a Canon printer that did my photos great (I thought). However, there is no comparison between the Canon and the Epson R200--the R200 is superior. That was the good news. The bad news is that the ink is more expensive and the printer uses a lot of it.

My solution is that if I need a few quick photos, I will use the Epson R200, but if I'm doing a large print (dozens or more), I'll take my memory card to the local WalMart and print them out on one of the self-help machines. They are much cheaper that way (when you consider the cost of photo paper and ink).

Has anyone tried generic ink for this printer?

This seller claims that the ink is the same durabright pigment as used by Epson.

I bought a set to try for 20 bucks. I don't print too many photos, but I might now with this great printer. I may look into the CIS system later.
