Epson Stylus 2200 Inkjet Printer Review

The Epson Stylus 2200 photo printer is an inkjet printer designed to service a professional photographer or a keen amateur, who is willing to pay $600. At this price the Epson Stylus 2200 is leaving the realms of inkjet printers and beginning to square up to the cheaper color laser printers. Of course if you are looking for a printer just to print out high quality photographs as wide as 13 inches you could do a lot worse than buying a Epson Stylus 2200 photo printer.

The Epson Stylus 2200 will not win any races for the speed in which it prints, of course it is far behind any laser printer for the money. Epson claim the Stylus 220 will print a semi-gloss eight by ten in a little under four minutes, our own tests came in twice that, there are faster and cheaper inkjet printers out there, the The Canon i9100 inkjet for one.

Color and The Epson Stylus 2200 Printer

So the cannon is cheaper and faster, and when you are dealing with the resolutions of printers as good as the Espon Stylus 2200 and the i9100 the human eye cannot possibly see anyway, hue, particularly with the Epson Stylus 2200 becomes a great selling point. Not only do the photos the 2200 produce look just stunning, the new 7-color UltraChrome™ are designed to last 90 years, and in 'simulated ageing' tests have confirmed this. This is a great feature for someone that wants to take and print quality photographs.

Our Conclusion on the Epson Stylus 2200

Many would argue that for this sort of money you would always be better off with a color laser printer, but this is not true for either the Epson Stylus 2200 or the Canon i9100. The Epson Stylus 2200 prints photographs, and high quality color documents and multiple copies of school projects will cost you. The 2200 is a professionals printer, but it is a little expensive.
