At roughly $270 for a full set of cartridges, that's a blessing. In our tests, we managed to go through hundreds high-quality prints without running out of ink, so these should last you a while. Given that you're probably not going to use this printer for documents, it's not surprising that the quiver of cartridges is geared to printing high-quality photos with a slightly higher ink capacity.Įpson did not provide any information on how many prints you are likely to get from each paper size, but there's a good chance that largely has to do with the fact that this printer can handle many sizes, so your mileage may vary wildly. The R3000 uses 9 ink cartridges, 5 for color, 4 for blacks and shades thereof. Still, it's not perfect, as the forehead of the dog loses some detail, and the white angle suffers some loss of differentiation at its border.

Looking at the sample scans above, it seems that the R3000 managed to produce a very good amount of detail without too many errors or artifacts: the Alice is well-rendered, and the dog's handsome visage is unblemished. For more details on how we test the depth of blacks in prints, see here. In this test, the Epson R3000 has an absurdly good depth of blacks, with a Dmax measurement of 3.02, which is astoundingly good. The higher the print density, the darker and ultimately better the blacks will appear in terms of contrast between the ink of the printer and the white of the paper. When we test for depth of blacks, we're looking at the density of blacks produced by our units in print.

Details are well rendered, but some prints are rather too heavy on the black.

Detail Performance Detail Performance Summary For more details on how we measure color gamut, see here. It should be mentioned, however, that very few printers at all score above 50% here. Using the Adobe RGB color gamut as a reference point, we found that the Epson R3000 was able to produce only about 42.7% of the total Adobe RGB color gamut, which is a decent score for a low-end printer, much less so for a higher-end one. When we talk about color gamut, we're referring to the total range of colors the printer can output. The chart should be used to judge the relative color shift, not the exact printed colors. NOTE: Because of the way computer monitors reproduce colors, the images above may not match the results used for evaluating color accuracy. It doesn't seem to like to do that automatically unless it's after a particularly large print, but all things considered, it takes very little time at all for the printer to be turned on and printing. Surprisingly enough, the R3000 actually has a very short initialization time, though it will try to align itself and make sure it's working properly the first time you start it up. If you need something faster than this, there is a faster setting that will crank out pages at one page ever 12.2 seconds, or 4.92 pages per second, but at a significant reduction in detail and color. Still, it posts a fairly respectable speed of about 2.59 pages per minute, or a single document page every 23.16 seconds. The Epson R3000 isn't a speed demon printing documents, either. For more on how we test print speeds, see this page. It's not that speedy, but you probably won't waste away in anticipation either. We're not kidding: a 4 by 6 photo can take up to 1 minute and 36 seconds per print. In addition to this slow speed, there will always be a sizeable white border, turning your 8.5 by 11 photo into an 8.25 by 10.5.įor those who absolutely must have the best quality in their printed photos, prepare to wait. Not the worst we've seen, but it definitely isn't very fast.

The Epson R3000 doesn't set any speed records with its photo printing, but then again, if you want quality, what did you expect? For a 5 by 7 photo, it takes 8 minutes, 17 seconds to make one print, and for a 4 by 6 photo it takes 7 minutes 26 seconds.

The only additional software that Epson includes with its drivers is its Print CD utility, allowing users to print on compatible CDs and DVDs. You can then select these profiles in supported programs when you execute the print command. It's worthy of note that you can construct your own color profiles tailor-made to your needs, unlike on older Epson models (namely the R1900).

If you would like a more detailed version of the installation process, the included manual covers each step beautifully.

After running the setup utility, you should be all set to print after about 20 minutes, tops. The Epson R3000 was surprisingly very easy to set up: once you've unpackaged the unit, installed the ink cartridges, the only somewhat annoying step is to set up the wireless network (if you don't have the appropriate USB cable.
