  1. Best A3 Photo Printer: Epson Stylus Photo R1800

    Reviewer: Tipa
    28 March 2006

    The Epson R1800 ink-jet printer is highly significant for photographers because it combines the long durability of pigment-based inks while offering the possibility of a true, glossy finish. This is achieved with an extra ‘ink’ that performs as a varnish and does away with the bronzing effect that is all too common in pigment-based glossy prints. With its fast printing times and Super A3 output, the Epson R1800 is a superb printing solution for photographers, and a wo... Read more

    I intended to write a detailed review of the Epson-Stylus-Photo-R1800-Printer, but I don't foresee getting the time to properly write this review in the near future. I do want to answer the "Which printer are you using?" question and for that reason feel compelled to keep the page live. Read more

  3. Epson’s Stylus Photo R1800; A New 13” Wide UltraChrome Ink Consumer Printer

    Reviewer: Shutterbug
    01 October 2005

    Epson has been a very active company over the last few years, offering an abundance of new printer models that I am sure has been both confusing and a welcome support for photographers doing digital darkroom work. One of the great benefits for many has been the introduction and refinement of pigment inks, which provided much greater print longevity than dye inks. This was accomplished in Epson’s “professional” line of printers, first with the Stylus Photo 2000P and Ul... Read more

    The Epson Stylus Photo R1800 offers digital artists a wide selection of photo printing features, fast print speeds and a high level of enduring image quality up to 200 years. Based on the letter-size-format Stylus Photo R800, the Stylus Photo R1800 uses the same UltraChrome Hi-Gloss™ eight-color pigment inks and is capable of making photo quality prints up to 13 inches wide and 44 inches long. This is Epson’s fastest photo printer to date, capable of printing an 11”x... Read more

    In my review of Epson’s Stylus Photo R800 printer ( ; January 2005 ), my only complaint was that it wouldn’t print on paper larger than 8.5-by-11 inches. Voila! The R1800 is here and it will produce borderless prints up to 13-by-19 inches and panoramic prints up to 13-by-44 inches, which is very impressive for a desktop printer. Featuring the same eight-channel ink set and individual replacement cartridges as the R800, the R1800 is a steal at $549. Thanks ... Read more

  2. Printing inkjet negatives with transparency film

    ...0 for use as negatives in alternative photo processes. I did a series of prints in summer 2006 using this method, and had great success. I'm trying to resume this work, but am having difficulty printing on the transparency film. This is the same printer (Epson Stylus Photo R1800) and the same box of 13 X 19 transparency (BG-32 from Printersupplyshop.com) I used sucessfully last summer. It worked last year, but now I am getting banding on all my prints. I have been through every diagnostic I can think of-cleaning and aligning print h...

  3. My first gallary display

    ...g to B&W, mounted with glass. What I would like is: - Print up to A3 - Print archival quality, i.e be able to sell the prints - No need to print from memory card etc. - No need to print on CD's etc. - No need to be super fast What about something like: - Epson Stylus Photo R1800 - PIXMA Pro9000 Budget, would like something for USD400 or less, who would not. What is the running cost of something like this? Main reason for home printing is that the nearest lab for printing is hours away from were I'm going to live, I don't have much t...
