Strengths: affordable, no ink spilling, no visible banding

Weaknesses: aligning cartridges is time consuming, not compatible with driver USB

The Epson R290 Photo Colour Printer has a decent speed and can deliver photo colour prints in just over a minute. While you’ll face the problem of “banding” in photo printouts with most of the printers in the market, the Epson R290 Photo Colour Printer delivers photo printouts with no visible banding. This gives it an edge over other printers in the market. This printer is good at handling gradients and delivers photo lab quality prints. If you are planning to buy a printer for use at home, you’ll be delighted at the idea of getting instant photos after every function at your home.

Take care to align the cartridge before you begin using the Epson R290 Photo Colour Printer. Otherwise you will get crisp and clear output. Cartridge installation is quite easy. You won’t have to deal with ink spillage apart from the first couple of prints. The driver CD-ROM comes with a bundle of applications. The Epson R290 Photo Colour Printer is a bit large, which is unnecessary given the fact that it does not come with a scanner. All in all, the quality of the printouts is acceptable when you take into consideration the cost of the printer.
