I would be very interested to know how this printer would now compare to a more current printer such as the Pixma 100s. When The R1800 was released it was considered fairly good hobbiest photo printer and retailed for quite a lot of money.

I've just been gifted a 2005 Epson R1800 Photo Printer as the previous owner knew i was interested in buying the "new-ish" Canon Pixma Pro 100s. I would not waste more than the cost of one set of ink cartridges if you see clogging issues in the printer output. I had mine serviced locally to try to overcome that but clogging problems progressively worsened. The gamut of new high end Epson printers is reported to be much wider than what the R1800 could deliver but that hardly is an issue for creating nicely colored prints.Īs I recall there was a built in "kill switch" having to do with saturation of the ink pad that rendered the printer obsolete after a certain amount of use. I really like the color from this printer and its ink set but I have given up on it due to head clogging.
I have made many hundreds of prints, if not thousands, with the thing. It still sort of works but it takes almost an entire set of increasingly hard to get ink cartridges to unclog it to make a few prints.Įven in its prime head clogging was a pain in the print carriage and I used it then at least once a week for several years. It doesn’t get any better than this, and certainly not for this price.I have one of these sitting in my garage. It’s speedy and it produces beautiful prints. The Epson Stylus Photo R1800 sets the standard for versatile, high-performance, large-format desktop photo printing. Unlike the R800, which prints slightly faster with the FireWire port, the R1800 has identical print speeds with both ports.

The back panel of the R1800 has a USB 2.0 port and a FireWire port, which makes it easy to share the printer with another computer, even a Windows system. I used Epson’s Premium Glossy and Enhanced Matte paper to produce the test prints. Macworld’s 22MB, 8.5-by-11-inch test print took one minute to print in Photo mode and three minutes in Photo RPM mode, the same as the R800. It took about 10 minutes to print the same image in Photo RPM mode, the highest quality setting.

It took 4 minutes and 5 seconds to complete a 13-by-19-inch borderless print on the Photo setting (second-best quality mode), using a 1.42GHz Mac Mini. The CD image quality is very good, and you won’t have to wait long it takes one minute to print a CD on the highest-quality setting and three minutes to dry. For added versatility, the R1800 will print on 4.3-inch, 8-inch, and 13-inch paper rolls and, with the enclosed adapter tray, on printable CDs and DVDs.
