This is fine if you are upgrading from a R2400 or older consumer printer, and of course it beats no roll support at all. However, it’s definitely consumer grade roll printing from an ergonomics standpoint. So at the end of the day, yes it does roll paper and the prints are just fine. Finally I found the flimsy roll holders on the back with the paper exposed to the elements as a bit of an after thought design rather than one I’d really want to use.

I was also disappointed that when I ejected my roll there wasn’t a way for the printer to mark the roll with a code so that I could reload easier next time and know how much paper was left (a 4900 feature). The reason why I was disappointed was because you get used to features like built-in cutting on the 4900 which doesn’t exist on the R3000 (you have to cut it yourself using a cut line that the R3000 will print). Yes, it’s true that the R3000 does print on 13” wide rolls, but if you are spoiled with roll printing from larger printers like the 4900 and up then you might be disappointed. If you don’t need to do cut sheets bigger than 13” wide then the R3000 makes more sense than the 3880 for many reasons, so don’t mistake this for a lesser product. It just works as expected without having to jump into any special printable area dialogs. Speaking of the 4900, I’m also pleased to report that I haven’t had any challenges printing even margins with my R3000 (or 3880) like I did with the 4900. I also prefer its larger ink cartridges which save money in the long run. With this in mind, I still wouldn’t give up my 3880 because I still enjoy its ability to handle larger 17x22” sheets which I feel it does better than even the 4900 (especially since the 4900 can’t do borderless on cut sheet media). To be fair, I’ve taken a break from printing over the summer so my eyes aren’t as attuned to noticing print differences as they were during my printing series, but I certainly think that the average person would say the prints are identical and I’d say that’s a good thing. However, in my testing everything that I printed from both the 3880 and R3000 appeared identical to my eyes. With an identical ink sets, but better screening technology (found in the 4900), smaller droplet size, and a greater resolution I expected that the R3000 might even have better print results.

The strength of Epson is certainly accurate color that matches what you have on a calibrated display (like my NEC PA Series), and despite this printer lacking the “Pro” moniker, it certainly prints pro quality prints. One thing I was very pleased with is that the included paper profiles from Epson were very well done to match the 3880 as really it’s the paper profile more than anything that gets you accurate color. As of the time of this article I haven’t done any Matte Black Ink comparisons, but if I notice any differences I’ll be sure to add them here – I don’t expect any based on my printing experience. Visually I can see the difference in image quality in both color and black and white prints printed with Photo Black Ink. I won’t jump into all of the stats as you can do that elsewhere online, but I’ll say at a high level I’ve been impressed with how this printer matches the quality of my trusty Epson Stylus Pro 3880. This coupled with its roll support, smaller droplet size, and overall user-friendliness – I’m seeing why this printer has been so well reviewed – it’s pretty awesome! Compared to the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 This printer features the same ink set as the legendary Epson Stylus® Pro 3880, but it is a higher resolution printer featuring the same AccuPhoto HD2 imaging technology as the 4900. This is how printers are supposed to work! In fact, I had no trouble printing 4圆”, 8.5x11” (Letter), or 13x19” prints and I even threw on a 13” roll of luster with no hassle for good measure. The Epson Ultra Premium Luster and Epson Premium Semi-Gloss are a great photo papers and great profiles are included with the printer to get you productive in a hurry.
