 DON'T BUY . . . if you don't print every day October 28, 2008
M. Janninck (Ashburn, VA)
It prints great. I have gotten very nice pictures and scrpabook pages -- 6 pages to be exact. The problem is that if you don't use it on a daily basis, you need to clean the print heads every time you want to use it. This wastes tons of ink. I have printed exactly 6 12 * 12 scrapbook pages before all my ink run out. This is an expensive proposition when you take into account the cost of the cartridges.
 Great on a PC, horrible on a Mac October 17, 2008

I've owned this printer for a few years. It worked great out of the box, with a PC and Windows XP. I printed out of Photoshop Elements 2, Olympus Camedia, Canon camera software, and Epson's software that comes with the printer. The printer seemed to handle all these software packages well. 4x6 prints were perfect. 13x19 were perfect. I even used some 10x7 scored cards, which fold in half to a nice 5x7 card with photo on the front of the card--with a little trickery in Photoshop. This is a great printer on a PC.
I've had horrible results on a Mac. Too dark, too saturated, inflexible paper sizes (specifically, I couldn't get the 10x7 --> 5x7 card option figured out). Works horribly if you let Aperture 1.5 control the driver. System managed color is better, but still way too dark. I could go on, but the web is littered with discussion forums of Mac users disappointed with the Epson R1800. It seems Epson never provided good drivers for the Mac platform. About all I got from their tech support is that I should buy Epson paper (which is ridiculous, since it worked flawlessly on a number of high-quality papers when driven by a PC).
If you own a Mac, or are even thinking of migrating to a Mac within 5 years, AVOID the Epson R1800.
