Good Points

Ability to print directly on CD/DVD
6 individual inks so less waste
Photo quality on gloss/satin paper is excellent
Can connect directly to USB


Bad Points

You have to fiddle about with the CD/DVD drawer
If you don't use it regularly the ink nozzles tend to clog - you use a lot of ink cleaning the heads again


General Comments

This is my third Epson inkjet printer which I bought primarily for the printing on CD/DVD function. The best quality prints are obtained by using good quality coated, glossy or satin paper (not necessarily branded) - I have found that all the Epson inkjet printers perform better in this way. I only use compatible inks and this has been fine. The best photo quality prints do take a while to print but I feel they are worth it. I have owned the R200 for about 2 years and the only problems have been when the nozzles clog up through lack of use. However, just recently it does seem to be leaving smudges behind on the paper edges indicating that there might be a problem. The ink is easily changed, you just slot the new cartridge in and replace the hinged lid - you don't need to press down hard.

    I've started having the black smudge especially on CD's, small dots and smudges. I can't see anything mechanical wrong with it. So it must be the print head. I changed the black cartridge and it went away. Today I changed the cyan cartridge and it came back. This is my 4th printer in 13 years, my second Epson, none of them last. HP is the worst.
