Also the printer seems to go through a lot of ink, printed about ten discs and two of the ink cartridges were near empty. Of the 10 printed 2 were good, 4 were alright, 2 were at least legible, and 2 were coasters. I also tried to print to CD/DVD labels not much better results there.

I love the DVD/CD printing capability that delivers a pretty good professional like label for my wedding customers. What I find vexing, is the fickleness of operations. Once you get it set up, the printer is steady and reliable. If it hiccups, loses power or needs a new cartridge, then it could be down for hours and could require a few calls to Epson tech support. The tech support are great, but the process is tedious. But, all that said, it's only about 1x a year so for 3.5 years, dozens and dozens of DVD labels of success printed in the Epson Label software, I love this little hummer of a printer.

The R800 produced consistently great color renditions of what I wanted in my prints. On the other hand, the Artisan 50 worked really well for my custom greeting cards. Other than that, I could never get any Epson paper, matte or glossy, to reproduce good color. Far too often my prints looked too dark and muddy with the Artisan 50.\n\nPrior to using any printer, I calibrate my monitor and use that profile in Adobe Photoshop and also use that profile for my printers. Unfortunately, these days, not much in the ways of printers can match what I was able to get out of older printers.\n\nWhat I'm seeing is that there is always a race to manufacture or produce new products and applications, but hardly ever do they work well together. I believe that everyone needs to be on the same page when it comes to creating an app to work properly with new products like printers.\n\nIn the past, backwards compatibility went a long ways.

It has lasted longer, but some of the same problems are recurring which preceded the final breakdown of the first unit: When the ink needs to be replaced, all kinds of lights start flashing, not necessarily the ones described in the trouble-shooting guide and the unit does not always respond correctly to the button-pushing sequence given in the instruction manual, making it difficult, nerve wracking and time-consuming.

Finally, I gave up and took the last one to the recycler. Short of money, I bought about the least expensive Epson's I could find with good reviews for printing pictures. The Artison 50 was it. The setup went smoothly and the printer worked well right off the mark. Color pictures are beautiful, even on the other brand's leftover paper.\n\nThe only glitch was that I made the mistake of checking to see if there is an upgrade for the driver. This sent me into a never-never land and I had to reload from the disk. Someday I will learn to leave well enough alone. Nevertheless, I can't believe what a good job it does. I am very happy with it and gladly recommend it.","name":"I Can't Believe It!"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Home/Printers/Inkjet/Epson-Artisan-50-Inkjet-Printer/p/C11CA45201#review-26786512","datePublished":"2013-01-28","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"4","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"I bought the Artisan 50 primarily for printing CD/DVD labels, so I did not need the bells and whistles of an All-in One - besides, I have an All-in One from another company:(.\n\nI printed my first BEAUTIFUL label about 15 minutes after I opened the box.\n\nSince I will be printing mostly CD/DVD labels, I left the tray in position and I turned off the printer, ready for the next one. About 2 days later, tried to print another label. I kept getting an upper tray error and 2 flashing lights. I took the paper tray out and put it in the lower position and the error went away. When I re-positioned it to print the label, the error message came back.\n\nFinally, I figured out that if I closed the front cover, it somehow reset the printer and it worked GREAT!\n\nI hope this will help others who may be having a similar problem. It seems as though closing the front cover has a magic button that fixes certain errors.\n\nAs others have posted, Epson is a little lacking in their documentation, but with my knowledge of computers and peripherals, it is not a big problem for me.","name":"So far, so good"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Home/Printers/Inkjet/Epson-Artisan-50-Inkjet-Printer/p/C11CA45201#review-26730191","datePublished":"2013-01-25","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"I am very pleased with my printer and how easy it is to operate.
