all the epson printers use the same ink.
It really is water proof and fade resistant. I have had it in sun for over a year, no problemo. Same thing happens in the printer.
Ink will eventually turn levelheaded rendering the printer useless after about a year or so. Usually just after warranty period expires. Excellent luck. I only wish they could get this straight , but best thing is to just buy a new printer after the first set of cartridges you buy expire. SO buy printer, use in anticipation of ink goes out and throw away entire printer, hopefully in the face of your local epson rep if you can find such an animal. Buy cheapest printer you can. more expensive models aren’t any better, least not in inkjet land.
Buy a REAL camera, cheaper to BUY FILM and DEVELOP than pay for ink, and quality better. Better living through chemistry, NOT electronics.

I bought this printer for 1 yr. Since i don’t need to make color prints, i select to use “black ink only” model. But now, all the color ink catriages are out of ink.
This is how it happend. The printer starts to clean the 6 catriages head whenever you turn the printer’s power on. Meanwhile, the foam surrounded by of the printer absorbed the ink when the printer cleaning its ink heads. You can’t do nothing to this issue. It has involuntary cleaning cycle.
Now my printer stop print the black without purchasing the other 5 ink catriages. I am not going to buy the other 5 color catriages for $65, and to wait the ink to be absorbed. Such a Huge wast!!!!! I can buy a groundbreaking new, a better printer at this price.
I’ve sold it on ebay. And will never by Epson product again. They trick their consumers. So, please reckon twice and do some research before you hold this item.
You can search on google for this probelm. Key words: “epson stylus r200 ink problem”
There are bunches of review regard to this issue and other issue of this printer. Excellent luck!!

I bought this printer with high hopes, now I am returning it. It will NOT WORK if you have WinXP Service Pack 2 installed; unless you like terrible quality photos. I emailed Epson immediatley about this unacceptable issue and here’s what they said:
“Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
If you have recently installed Windows XP Service Pack 2, you may have issues printing from the Photo Printing Wizard due to changes made when Service Pack 2 was installed. Please follow the steps below to resolve your issue:
An updated driver to resolve this issue will be released shortly. It will be posted on http://www.epson.com as soon as it is available.”
A driver will be resleased shortly!?!?! I need this printer to work now! I also contacted tech support on the phone; still no help. They gave me the runaround, and said it was a Windows problem, not an Epson problelm. Take responsibility and do something to help your customers instead of passing the blame onto Microsoft.
Do not buy this printer; get the Canon i960 instead. That’s what I’m going to do after I return this garbage.

It’s splendid that you can print on a CD/DVD, but that’s all I can say nice about this printer.
Ink cost as much as the printer itself!
Let’s say you run out of ink and choose to hold only black ink, this way you can at least print some text documents… WRONG!
The printer will not print anything if one of your inks are low, or empty.
My suggestion is not to ever buy an Epson printer. A made a huge mix and bought two thought they were splendid. Now I have two new non-working printers that will cost the better part of $160. in ink.

Before you buy this printer, beware: if you run out of color ink, but just want to print black and colorless, too terrible! The “black ink only” gathering doesn’t work if there are any empty ink cartridges (the printer has 6 total). Epson says, “To keep the print head clear, the printer uses a tiny amount of ink from all the cartridges whenever it prints. Even if you set the printer software to print black only, some color ink is still being used.”
So, if you just want to print that text document, best run to the store and spend a further $50-$60 for color ink. Que ridiculo!
Reviewers, please BUY the product and USE it more than once or twice before writing a review.
