Very Good

The Epson Stylus Photo R260 inkjet printer makes a lot of headway with speed, while sacrificing nothing of quality. With built-in ink conserving components, the Epson Stylus Photo R260 still produces one of the highest dpi (droplets per inch) ratios available at 5760x1440. With its Claria Hi-Definition Ink, the Epson Stylus Photo R260 exceeds inkjet standards in both quality and longevity. No longer will the convenience of a personal photo inkjet printer come at the expense of water and age resistance.


The DX5 printing technology generates 5 microscopically precise ink droplet sizes, allowing for the cleanest and smoothest treatment of color saturation, tone and color gradation and the overall graininess of the photo.


Experts praise the Epson Stylus Photo R260 for its quality and versatility. No longer will you have to use messy and costly labels for your personal DVDs and CDs, the Epson Stylus R260 prints directly onto their surface, producing clean, long-lasting graphics and text. Users like the Epson Stylus R260 for its efficiency. While the highest quality settings still require a large amount of ink, the moderate and low settings can extend ink cartridge use upwards of 100 prints.

Overall, the Epson Stylus Photo R260 is a great value, combing speed and quality with remarkable efficiency.

Except for its ability to print on CD and DVD media, Epson's Stylus Photo R260 might melt into a crowd of generic photo printers. For some users, however, this bonus will outweigh the unit's speed and print-quality shortcomings....

Only Epson makes printers that can print directly onto DVDs, and the R-260 is their current lowest-end product with this capability. Indeed, this printer is so low end that ink refill packages cost about three dollars more than the printer (which comes...

The ink is expensive, but it does let you change one color at a time so you don’t waste any. Sometimes the manual isn’t really clear on what the diagnostic lights mean. If you have the printer tray set for DVDs and you turn the power off, it won’t...
