Coming from a company with a well-earned reputation for high-quality photo printer output, the Stylus Photo R1900’s UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 Ink works in harmony with the LUT technology and Epson paper to deliver outstanding photo quality for advanced photographers - the level you’d expect from a photo lab for professionals rather than from your local high-street store. It’s not quite as good as Epson’s flagship Stylus Photo R2400, but for the price it’s a fantastic overall machine. The only gripes are perhaps the lack of an LCD and memory card slots for computer-independent printing, but the Stylus Photo R1900 isn’t really designed for quickly printing holiday snaps - it’s a serious printer for those who take their photography passionately. If you’re not in a hurry you should bear in mind that Epson’s new UltraChrome K3 ink printers are due to ship soon. The K3 ink set is a superior ink to the Hi-Gloss2 inks fitted in the Stylus Photo R1900, which is why they’re used in all of Epson’s Professional printer models. But if you need a good all-round printer today, take a closer look if you’re a serious amateur photographer or professional on a budget - along with Canon’s equally impressive Pixma Pro9000.
