  Strengths: Great Photo Prints. Easy to Install.

  Weaknesses: BIG!!!!!

  Overall: I know I have only had it a short time, but this printer works like a charm. I have it installed on both my Pentium 4 computer (USB) and my Mac G4 ( Firewire). Set up on both machines was a snap and the 2200 makes great prints on both machines. Go get one.

  Strengths: An awesome tool fo creating art. Take a little time to tweak and get the benefits of excellent prints. If you know Photoshop well and want to do glicee prints, then great!

  Weaknesses: I've heard that it isn't a good mass production tool.

  Overall: I havn't tried glossy and will probably steer clear of that. On Epsons watercolor I get amazing prints. It's a must to calibrate your monitor with a hardware profiler. Idealy, you should be comfortable with Photoshop. With a strong knowledge of curves, you soft profile and adjust those curves and then you can avoid muddy, flat images. My prints look better than the original photo on the screen with very good shadow detail.

  Strengths: Long-lasting prints, high resolution.

  Weaknesses: Colors are dull compared to the Epson 1280, prints have a hazy appearance compared to the Epson 1280.

  Overall: I bought the Epson 2200 to have the best for selling prints and competing prints at my camera club. I had used an Epson 1280 for over a year. I was dismayed that the prints from the 2200 were duller and hazy when compared to the same files printed on the 1280. I would rather have a bright and clear print for 7 years than a relatively dull and hazy print for 80 years. I sold the 200, and use the 1280.

  Strengths: Great prints color and clarity excellent. I use as my photo printer for 5 megipixel camera. It does a great job.

  Weaknesses: You need to understand the paper requirements. There are a few brands that work well all others have roller lines. Once I researched the type of paper Epson and Ilford that work well.

  Overall: I enjoy my 2200 I does all I wanted it to do. I would like to see a 2200 quality capable of a larger than 13 by 19 print. Epson has done a great job if you want a photo printer.

  Strengths: Great Color, Roll Feed is great, good looking, package comes with several paper samples.

  Weaknesses: Would be nice to have roll and sheet feed possible simultaneously

  Overall: Set up was easy, and instructions clear. Automatic cutter works very well, sometimes it is a milimeter or two off, but beats scissors anyday. Included software has a pluggin for photoshop as well as the ICC profiles. I don't know if the prints really last 70-80 years, but the sure look great after a week.
