So, after years of strugglng with the old printer, this Epson is giving me PERFECT and jaw-dropping prints right out of the gate. I am incredibly impressed. You should need skill and finesse to take great images and fine tune them with software, but you shouldn't need the same level of skill or ability to get a great print. This r3000 is really impressive. I'll review it again after a few months of experience but thus far, everything I've thrown at it has printed just perfect - really professional quality.

Wether it is full color or B&W, this printer is fully up to the challenge. I like the feature of Advanced B&W (also on the 4800). This does a more professional job than the regular printing.

In some cases the gamut was too limited to get it right. After the 7010 went south I decided to step up to the R3000. They had great rebates on it and glowing reviews.\nThe R3000 is everything they said it was. After I re-profiled my monitor and did my first test print the color was nearly perfect. I also realized all the color and subtle detail I had been missing! I now print art and photos for other artists and the results have been fabulous.\nInk usage for prints has been reasonable but there is quite a bit used when switching blacks between photo and matte. Fortunately Epson and other retailers often have decent sales on ink (and paper). I tried to use 3rd party inks on the old printers but got widely varying results on color and they eventually ended up clogged beyond repair. I stick with Epson genuine now.\nI also decided to get an extended warranty because repairs can often exceed the entire price of the printer.

But the black ink nozzles clogged frequently and eventually deposited black blobs of ink on the edges of the paper. Because I liked the quality of the prints, I took the printer to an authorized repair shop, where they replaced the print head, at considerable expense. They (and I) thought that would take care of the problem. I got a number of additional prints out of it and then, in switching from photo black ink to matte black ink, the heads totally clogged up. After trying all of Epson's suggested home remedies, I took it back to the shop. They said it looked like the head needed to be replaced again. Rather than putting that much more money into the printer, I junked it. My understanding is that because the photo black and matte black inks share the same tube and nozzle, this is a frequent problem. Perhaps if I were a photographer who printed every day, it wouldn't have happened but I'm not. I wish Epson would fix this problem because I would love to be able to use their photo printers.","name":"Serious nozzle problem"},{"@type":"Review","@id":"https://epson.com/For-Home/Printers/Photo/Epson-Stylus-Photo-R3000-Inkjet-Printer/p/C11CA86201#review-38073957","datePublished":"2014-07-08","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"I have been very happy with the 3000.
