Promised that it “works perfect” — it does not work at all. I have owned two of these same printers and loved them; this one is a disaster. I have been through all the proper drills for cleaning print heads, put in fresh ink cartridges, etc. without success. The best it gives me is a print in light cyan and black. A waste of money, time, ink… and hope — a huge disappointment, especially since I have projects for which I was depending on it. My first major problem with an eBay purchase. —MF

As a Self Representing Artist, I create my own Giclee prints for sale on Ebay and my website. Without the Epson Stylus Photo 2200 Inkjet Printer, I would be lost. This printer puts out the finest quality Giclees I've ever seen. Epson offers different types of paper for this printer so you can print on Watercolor paper, Glossy and even Canvas! The colors are true and do not run. There just isn't anything out there that can even compare to this little beauty and definitely not at the normal going price. It's a worthwhile investment for any Artist wanting to make their own prints. The ink in this printer is archival for 80+ years as long as you keep replacing it with the Epson ink. It has seven ink cartridges: Black, Light Black, Cyan, Light Cyan, Magenta, Light Magenta and Yellow. When you run out of ink in one, you only need to replace that one, not all the rest. I consider that to be very economical! This printer also comes with an automatic paper cutter that works with the rolled paper you can use with this amazing printer. This saves so much time when you are printing a dozen new prints that need to go out in the mail TODAY! Though this printer is larger than most desktop printers, it was very easily incorporated into my office setup in my home. If I can do it, you can to! If you are an Artist and are looking for THE printer that will make you comfortable with the prints you offer to the public, then this is the one to choose. I've had mine for almost two years now without any maintenance problems whatsoever. I hope this review has helped you in some small way. Thanks for reading!Read full review
It does a great job of printing my photos, wonderful color. I wish there was more instruction on using the ICC printer profiles as well as information in the manual on printing black and white photos. There is a lot of tweaking to get rid of color casts but I understand that happens with most ink jet printers. Overall it is an excellent printer, gets good reviews and has proven itself over time. The printer has been around since about 2002 so if you can come across a new or slightly used 2200 and you need a good printer at a good price, get it!
I have used plenty of Cannon and HP printers and have found Epson to be the best in terms of being true to color. If there is a purplish cast when you print, chances are it is not the printer. To print with Adobe you need to first print with preview, and let photoshop determine color. When the next screen comes up there is a drop down menu, on that there is a color settings option, click that and then select No Color Management, and print. If you do not click the no color management option YOU WILL GET THE PURPLE/ MAGENTA HUE! Learned this the hard way. Also if you change the color management and then the print settings and then print, you will also get the purple hue because the color management changes back to the wrong setting. Other than the pain in the but you have to go through to make sure it prints the right color, this printer is great, if you change the color management like I described above the prints are exactly like what you seen on the screen and is also pretty fast. Love the way you can check the ink levels and make it do head and nozzle cleaning. I will also repeat everyone's enthusiasm with the multiple ink cartridges, it saves a lot of money!Read full review
