Setup is relatively quick and very straight-forward. Note that this is a review of a full-production version of the Epson R3000, not the early pre-production samples that several other websites have tested, and is therefore indicative of the final shipping quality. The older R2880 is still available as the next model down the range. The Epson Stylus Photo R3000 costs $849 / £699, with individual ink cartridges costing $25 / £25. The R3000's redesigned print head has a maximum resolution of 5670x1440 dpi and variable-sized droplets as small as 2 picoliters (versus the R2880's 3 picoliters), and there is also Ethernet and wireless-N connectivity in addition to USB 2.0. Thankfully the R3000 has both the Photo and Matte black inks installed at the same time, just one of the major enhancements that it offers, although they still share the same ink path and therefore require an automatic swap routine that flushes the ink out of the system (wasting up to 3ml of ink each time).Ĭhief amongst the R3000's other attractions are the much bigger 25.9ml ink cartridges, compared to the R2880's 11ml cartridges, and the greatly improved media handling for fine art media up to 1.3mm thick and roll paper up to 44 inches long. This led to a lot of swapping of black cartridges when going from one type to the other, and therefore a lot of wasted time and effort if you routinely printed on different media. The R2880 still didn't offer what a lot of photographers had been asking for, though, namely support for Photo and Matte Black inks being installed at the same time. This model offered a few improvements over the older 2400 printer that it replaced, thanks to new Vivid Magenta and Vivid Light Magenta inks which increased the color accuracy and gamut of the printer, and direct printing to CD/DVD media.
