The glossy paper always draws attention because of the higher contrast.

Best you never compare glossy and matte papers directly. Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper (prints with Matte Black) We would like the surface to be a bit more matte.Ģ. Good universal printing paper with a satin like surface. Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster (prints with Photo Black) But having the option is nice and for some panorama prints even essential.ĭ) Printing to CDs: We hardly ever used this feature in the pastĭuring our tests we used some Epson but also 3rd party papers.ġ. Still a bit on the tedious side though but much better than before.Ĭ) Roll Paper: We hardly ever use roll paper because we don't like the curl we get. We also have "High Speed" enabled.Įpson recommends "SuperPhoto" for canvas printing though.Ī) Sheet Feeder: So far it works just fine with multiple sheets in the trayī) Fine Art Paper front loading: This process is very much improved over previous 13" Epson models and seems to work well in our tests. In the R3000 printer driver we use the "SuperFine - 1440dpi" setting as in our experience this creates excellent image quality with most media. Printing from Lightroom is overall more convenient and works as expected with the R3000. If the print looks slightly softer than on screen we welcome this softer representation as a slightly more analog look.

One of the early prints will be of our Printer Evaluation Image (for each paper we use). When we get a new printer we first use some Luster Paper (Epson or 3rd party equivalent papers). Still the WiFi option is nice to have if you plan to share the R3000 in a workgroup. Unfortunately the speed of printing came down to a crawl and we gave up the idea to print using WiFi.

Later we installed the WiFi network and it was technically working fine.

Sometimes later the Mac OS requested to install an update.

We got used to a simple software installations with all the previous Epson printers and also this time it just worked.

We then installed the R3000 on our Mac Pro (Mac OS X Lion) using the USB port. We feature the R3000 as we experienced it so far.Īssembling the R3000 was a breeze and done in less than 10 minutes (without the time for priming). It seems that the new R3000 printer is addressing some if not all of these issues. The heads were not featuring the latest Epson head technology (although the difference is likely not that easy to see).The capacity of the ink cartridges was very low.Switching Photo Black and Matte Black inks was not really user friendly.Feeding is often the week point with many printers. Paper feeding was not very reliable and for fine art papers very quirky.Unfortunately there were some issues we did not like that much: The Epson Stylus Photo R2880 could print at about the same level if it comes to pure print quality. But up until now the 17" Pro printers were more robust and more fun to use on a daily basis. Smaller prints are really nice unless you plan to cover huge walls. Especially if you don't have the space for a larger printer (although the Epson 3880 is quite compact for a 17" printer). Most of the time we are just happy to use 13" wide printers. We think the last couple of iterations by Epson were more incremental because the print quality of their inkjet printers has been excellent for some generations now.įor fine art photographers there are actually three main segments of printers: 13", 17", 24" and wider. We use Epson pigment based fine art printers for over nine years (our first was the P2000) and had them from 13" to 24" wide.
