Epson Stylus Photo 2000P Inkjet Printer description
The Epson Stylus Photo 2000P inkjet printer was specifically designed with the professional photographer in mind. Providing quality printing for archival photo reproduction, it prints borderless, edge-to-edge images on sizes up to 13 x 44 inches. You can print in six rich colors using drop-on-demand Micro Piezo inkjet technology, and Epson's archival ink with MicroCrystal Encapsulation keeps colors long lasting and fade-resistant. Plus, you won't be caught dry, thanks to automatic low-ink detection.

This printer has an optimum resolution of 1,440 x 720 dpi for both black and color pages. Completed images arrive in under four minutes when printed on matte paper, and under six minutes when using semi-gloss sheets. While it can handle plain bond paper, it functions best when used with professional photo papers, including archival, glossy, watercolor, and radiant white matte. Maximum paper capacity is 100 sheets or ten envelopes.

The Photo 2000P printer is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh operating systems, which it accesses via either USB or parallel connections. It measures 21 by 30.3 by 16.3 inches and weighs just 18.5 pounds. A standard one-year limited warranty is included and supplemented by the Epson Exchange Program.

♥♥♥♥♥ Well, seven years later (2007). . . .
Actually, I bought this printer in 2002, and so it has only been five years for me. This is still (2007) a fine printer. There are two claims made by one or two reviewers: (1) that resolution is so poor that you can see the dots; (2) that the color is different if viewed under different lighting.

First of all, if the prints show visible dots, you are doing something wrong. This prints are as smooth as silk if the files are big enough--but you have to print at the correct settings. Second, of course there is going to be a difference in color if viewed under different lighting condition. That is the nature of pigments. That is why photos made inside without a flash often have a "tungsten cast." Our eyes can correct for that, of course, but the printer cannot. It can only print what we send it.

As for the "green cast" issue, I solved that accidentally a long time ago: simply load your black and white files but PRINT IN COLOR. For some reason you will get neutral black and white pictures with no color cast. I have no idea why, but it works. Print it as "Black and White" on the settings and you will get the color cast. I have seen no one else notice this, but it is absolutely true, and I assume that there is some glitch in the software somewhere that is responsible for this anomaly.

I doubt that anyone is still reading about this printer these many years later, but I looked at some prints today and realized that we have not really come so far from where this printer was in 2000--and how much more resolution can the eye detect? I am thus very skeptical of resolution claims made for more modern printers. I do not doubt that luminescence can be higher, and that the range of tones has improved (not to mention the color gamut), but, unless prints are help up side by side, one will not notice the difference. I am going to have to try to load some of today's huge digital files and see what happens. One thing is certain: the resolution will not decrease.
