Great deal for your money!

I've used Epson inkjet printers for many years and have always enjoyed the high quality of the product. As a professional photographer, I'm looking for a printer that renders exceptional quality and that can reproduce my images to my standards. Since the Epson Photo Stylus R800 was my primary photo printer, and is no longer available, I decided to give the Epson Artisan 50 printer a try. I wanted to see if all the boasting about quality really was true. After using the Epson Artisan 50 printer for a couple days, and picking the best settings to use in Adobe Photoshop and Apple's Pages, I wasted little ink and paper to come up with exceptional quality images. The Artisan 50 excelled beyond what I had expected. And since I calibrate my monitor, my prints are greatly accurate, rendering images so close to what I see. Color accuracy, tonal range, sharpness in detail, tonal separation, ink drying time, these qualities hit the mark! Epson has done an great job with this printer. The next thing is to see how long the ink cartridges last. Perhaps my next purchase will be the large capacity #77 inks.

second lemon! avoid this model

It might be just lousy luck, but even though Epson replaced my first Artisan 50, the second wasn't any better at basic printing. Photographs on both #1 and #2 printed with glitches--thin line-like gaps every inch or so. Well, I don't print photos that often, mostly just documents. But even them! Blotches of black ink often appear on the corners of perfectly smooth sheets of paper and I have to re-print. I'd asked Epson what model replaced my former printer, the Epson Stylus Photo 900, and they said this one. The old printer did everything well, but this one, nothing! I like the faster pace and dust cover, but print quality itself has taken a nose dive. Pay more and get a better model, I say, or just trust to luck on this model.

SOME SMUDGES

By CHASSY

from Boston, Ma

Comments about Epson Artisan 50 Inkjet Photo Printer:

I have owned the Artisan 50 for about 8 months. Lately, when printing photos, and especially on envelopes, there is sometimes "smudging" on the edges of the photo and along the sides of the envelopes. I was told the problem is the "sponges" (that collect extra sprayed ink) get saturated over time, and leak. The sponges cannot be replaced. So the printer has to be replaced. Not too good.

Epson Artisan 50

By Bigringbob

from Western Springs, Il.

Comments about Epson Artisan 50 Inkjet Photo Printer:

This is my third Epson printer over the years and I have been happy with all three. When my last one died last week after about six years of continual use I knew I wanted to replace it with another Epson. This printer is our home printer, meaning we use it for documents, homework and photos. I assumed it would be fine for documents but was truly amazed at the quality of the photos it has been producing. It's even better than my last two, and I was quite satisfied with them. What I like most is that the photos come out beautifully without all the tweaking many of my friends talk about with their printers. (Not Epsons) I could go on and on about the true colors and such but let's just say I know this will not be my last Epson.

Epson Artisan 50 Inkjet Printer

By Hami

from Ann Arbor, MI

Comments about Epson Artisan 50 Inkjet Photo Printer:

I recently became the happy owner of the above-referenced printer. Regrettably, my previous workhorse, the Epson Stylus Color 860, which I loved, bit the dust when a replacement printhead no longer was available. I was deeply saddened as I loved the quality. After consulting with Epson, the Artisan 50 was recommended. Although I have yet to put it through it's full paces, it appears to be better than comparable to my previous Epson. Set-up was quite easy and the quality of the output is excellent.

Artisan 50

By Ted

from Oak Park, MI

Comments about Epson Artisan 50 Inkjet Photo Printer:

I started out with and Epson R280 many years ago and I printed a lot of CDs and DVDs (thousands) and many HI Quality photos and the only reason it failed is because I spilled a noxious liquid into it and trashed the electronics. In looking for a worthy replacement, I found the Aritisan 50 is the replacement for the R280. I bought the 50 and was very pleased that it had the same specs and the actual output was every bit as good. Sometimes when a new model replaces an older one the quality suffers a bit. NOT in this case. I was surprised how accurate it was out of the box, of course it an Epson, so I should have expected as much. I was also able to print a 8 1/2 X 44 inch picture with it which seemed like a bonus. Great panorama printer. I crunch a lot of documentary videos onto DVD so this printer is a very important tool. Its colors are truely vibrant on paper and printable DVDs. I will start using the water resistant DVDs in the future though. The photos from this printer rival anything I have gotten from a lab. And don't even try talk to me about the competition. I have used them and in my opinion, give me the 50.

As of right now I'm waiting on my 2nd printer because the 1st one they sent me had issues. I couldn't get pass step 3 in the setup. The carriage that holds the ink would not slide over so that I could load the new ink cartriges. We'll see how the next one works...:-)

Quality Is Number 1

By JDW1

from Central Arkansas at this time

Comments about Epson Artisan 50 Inkjet Photo Printer:

Artisian 50 - One of the few printer that I have had no problems with before (this is my 4th printer from Epson) Had minor problem with this uinit and Epson stepped up and fixed it at once. The cd/dvd tray works every time and the print quality is the best I have ever had. Ease of use 5 stars, ease of setup 5 stars, the only down side that I could ever think about is the amount of ink that I use (I do a lot of printing), and there is no high capacity cartridges - would highly reccomend to anyone.

The Artisan 50

By GrannyMar

Comments about Epson Artisan 50 Inkjet Photo Printer:

I love this printer. I had an R260 for several years and loved that but alas it died so I replaced it with the A50. It is about the same but sleeker looking and does the same things, prinnts on disks (I love that part). This is a terrific printer.
