Good review I got the 1900 this week and agree with all that was said. I upgraded from the r-380 and no comparison at all. I use Paper from Red River out of Texas and have had no problems with their profiles.
Printers ink dries rapidly, only problem has been in border less printing . With current $100 rebate from Epson camera cost me $ 449

Your review does not mention that roll paper operations are lousy at best. The quality of the print is excellent, but the printer controls for rewinding the roll back don't work -- at least not the way the manual says they are supposed to. Instead you end up pushing the entire roll through the printer and having to re-roll it by hand.

I thought I saw somewhere 3d party drivers that corrected this, but I can't find anything about it now.

Thanks for the great detail and coverage in this review. Hunting for a new photo printer is incredibly intimidating. I presently own the Epson RX500. It did a great job for the last 5, (yes 5), years. I bypassed the ink pad overflow error 3 or 4 times and now it’s time to move up to a bigger paper and I’ve been reading and studying for the last 6 months. Your interview put me over the top. I’m primarily a ‘color man’ myself, (photo-artist), and I just want to let folks like yourself to know that your reviews and the extra mile you put in on them is what makes you all the real ‘hero’s’ of consumers! Thanks again.
