Perfect photos, every time

Now you don’t have to discard poorly exposed photos. Thanks to smart photo enhancement features from Epson, you can make your pictures look the way you intended them to look. Built–in Auto Photo Correction automatically evaluates and corrects digital images — better than the competition. It even includes advanced face detection, which distinguishes people from scenery, correcting the color accordingly to ensure beautiful, natural skin tones. With the Artisan 50, you can also remove red eye. It’s like having your own photo lab right at home.

Versatile paper handling

It’s never been easier to get what you want, when you want it. With the Artisan 50’s adjustable paper tray, you can print a variety of things, from 4x6 photos to legal–size documents. And, it’s just as easy to print on both sides of the paper. With manual, two–sided printing¹, you’ll save money and paper. ¹

Worry–free handling of photos

With the Artisan 50, you get professional quality photos that are smudge, scratch, water and fade resistant, so you can handle them right after printing. Place them in an album or share them with family and friends, worry–free.

 

 

Prints that outlast photo lab prints

Six–color Claria Hi–Definition Ink, together with Epson premium photo papers, offers the ultimate combination of photo quality and longevity. Prints made with Claria ink last up to four times longer than those from a traditional photo lab². Photos last up to 98 years on display under glass and over 200 years in an album. Photos from the leading competitor last only 65 years on display under glass. With Epson, you can feel confident in sharing your prints for generations to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Epson Artisan 50, July 12, 2009

By	AT "gadgetgal" (NYC) - See all my reviews

This is my first Epson printer. I've always owned HP but I was particularly interested in being able to print CD/DVD labels. I've owned this printer now for a couple of days and am totally pleased. The directions for getting started were easy, and I was able to begin use immediately. The quality of the labels are excellent, good color, looks professional and it prints quickly. I am not one to usually review products but this one, I found well worth the money, value, and am happy that I made the purchase. The only thing I'd change would be for the software that comes with the CD/DVD printer format, I wish it did more but I find it sufficient. I'd definitely recommend. Does well with documents as well.\\

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!!!, July 24, 2009

By	DramaQueenBean "DQB" (USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this printer to replace my dymo discpainter that has been nothing but trouble, and I'm thrilled with the quality of the direct print DVDs. The software isn't the best, but I can export my designs from my other software as a photo file and the epson print disc software prints it beautifully. I tried photo printing for the first time today and LOVE IT! I love the 5 ink concept - the images are so crisp. I've only had the printer for a week now, but so far I'm completely happy with it. The price was great too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Quailty - Fast, June 26, 2009

By	Digby In FL (Cape Coral, FL) - See all my reviews

It prints magazine quality pics - faster than my old Ink Jet. I like the fact that i can replace individual a color and not waist a whole cartridge because i ran out on just one color.
