Epson Stylus Photo R260 Review

by Melissa Riofrio

- Except for its ability to print on CD and DVD media, Epson's Stylus Photo R260 might melt into a crowd of generic photo printers. For some users, however, this bonus will outweigh the unit's speed and print-quality shortcomings.

    Strengths: Image Quality is outstanding.

    Weaknesses: None really. Have printed a couple hundred 8 by 10's. Ink costs run a little more than my R200.

    Overall Evaluation: I have the R200 and R260 setup side by side. My old R200 is excellent, but the prints from the R260 are outstanding. As far as operation goes, it functions pretty much exactly like the R200. I use it strictly as a photo printer. Once you have the right parameters and profiles, coupled with the highest quality paper, the prints are stunning.
