At school I've been using an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 and have gotten kind of addicted to printing my photos. The R3000 is half the cost and almost exactly the same except for it's narrower 13" maximum print width (vs the 17" 3880). Both use the "UltraChrome K3 with Vivid Magenta" ink set which is the same one used by almost all of Epson's "Pro" line of printers. Honestly, I don't know why the R3000 isn't in their "Pro" line since it could reasonably be used by a pro who never needed to print anything wider than 13".

I printed some color test charts at the Sam's Club photo lab (which should be reasonable quality since they actually calibrate their printers at least once a day and when they change paper rolls) and on my R3000, then compared them to an actual X-Rite produced ColorChecker chart, and the output from the R3000 significantly beats the output from Sam's Fuji Frontier minilab photo printer. The Fuji Frontier print is noticeably duller with generally darker colors and a narrower range of saturated color reproduction. You don't have to be a color expert to see the difference.

For the R3000 the ink cost is about $1/ml which comes out to about $0.01 per square inch if you get it at a discount (search for "red river Cost of Inkjet Printing Epson R3000"). That makes a borderless 8x10 cost about $0.80 in ink, and a borderless 8.5x11" cost about $1 in ink. A sheet of Epson Ultra Premium Photo paper costs as little as $0.60 if you get it at a discount, so printing a borderless 8.5x11" ends up costing as little as $1.60 in supplies.

I've been a long-time user of the Epson R2880, but after several years of very heavy use, it was getting to be time to replace the print head. Since this is an expensive repair on my trusty old R2880, I decided it might be more cost efficient to go with an entirely new printer, and this led me to look at the R3000.

While I was replacing my printer, I figured I'd also take a look at the competing HP and Canon products. Side by side against the HP and Canon products, I found the Epson to be a shade better, especially with black-and-white prints. It's not a dramatic difference, and maybe because I'm so used to the older R2880, I'm just biased towards Epson. Still, for me, it was enough to confirm my decision to go with the Epson R3000.

Compared to my R2880, it's hard to see any obvious differences on the R3000 in terms of print quality. B&W mode seems very slightly better on the R3000, and at magnification, small details seem slightly sharper. Otherwise, colors and so-called "bronzing" are about the same to my eye. Not that this is a bad thing, since the R2880 is a very fine printer in its own right. The R3000 uses essentially the same ink technology as the R2880, so I suppose not seeing a dramatic difference is to be expected.

While I'm comparing to the R2880, physically, the R3000 is about an inch deeper, weighs slightly more and has more of a squarish look. Still, even though there are marginal print quality improvements at best, there are several features I found worthwhile compared to the earlier generation. Some little touches - the removable power cord, for example, are helpful. The larger ink capacity is a significant boost to me...I'm getting many times more prints per ink change, and that's a good thing.

I am a serious amateur photographer. Recently my Epson R1800 printer died. Based on my experience with two previous Epson printers and my research, I decided to purchase the R3000. I have had the printer for a couple months now and I am quite happy with my purchase. A quick summary of my observations are as follows: 1) it was very easy to set up; 2) the print speed is so much faster than my R1800 even at the quality setting; 3) having choices for quality settings is great, but I notice little difference between the speed, quality and maximum quality settings; 4) the automatic changing of the black inks works quite well; 5)I have printed up to 11 x 14 size prints and they are excellent; 6) the larger ink cartridges are much more convenient to use; and 7) the on screen menus and the user manual are prepared in an intuitive fashion. The bottom line is you can't go wrong with this printer.

I am an advanced amateur photographer, been shooting most of my life. [...] Due to budgetary constrictions, translation my sweet wife, I have been making a gradual move towards perfect color for the past 3-4 years. Perfection being unattainable of course, things you MUST have to get close to perfection include:

1) A good camera, tons of good stuff on the market from Nikon and Canon. I use a Nikon D300. Shoot RAW files btw, take my word for it, Google it, end of the day its like having a time machine for things like white balance, exposure compensation, saturation levels, black levels, fill light, recovery, vibrance and on and on and on. With lossy jpg files...good luck. You can always export jpgs from your RAW files, so shoot RAW.

2) A good monitor (doesn't have to be a $2,500 - $5,000 Eizo save your money for things that will get you closer to perfection with more bang for your buck). I'm using a 27" HD Viewsonic VX2739wm that is calibrated which leads me to #3.

3) A way to calibrate your monitor and printer (with Epson pro papers, the ICC profiles they provide via download work exceptionally well, but you still MUST calibrate your monitor) take my word for it; get the Color Munki Photo (under $500 now) and it works amazingly well. Better than devices costing 5 - 7 times more just a few short years ago.

4) Good photo editing software; I use Lightroom 3.3 and Photoshop CS5 but I have to tell you I spend 95% of my time in Lightroom so most bang for your buck is there. I use PS for retouching or being creative primarily, I never print from Photoshop. I always print from Lightroom, it has the best printing interface of anything on the market. If you are thinking yeah but I can't softproof in lightroom, that leads me to #5.
