Epson R300 Printer
Discussion
That must be the cheapest they can drop to at the moment then as I got mine at £116 which included VAT.
Incase I didnt already say the R300 also doubles up as a memory card reader and takes 5 different cards. The memory cards can be read by the PC too.
Its also possible to print straight from a card or camera via USB or bluetooth (with adaptor).

Having had it a while I have only printed 3 things!
Ive used the memory card and USB extension more often!
The USB extension could be better. Have to re-boot printer to get it to recognise my USB drive.
I still need to get some good glossy paper to put it to a real test.
When I print something good I'll scan it and post it up and you can see the results.

I've just been given an R300 and an L400 digital camera. You can see why they supply a montior as an option - it's perfect for printing photos quickly without the hassle of going through the PC. Was shocked to see six cartridges, though... although I got given some of those, too.
I'm a big fan of traditional SLR photography but I;m slowly being converted.

DustyC,
Have you realised that there are two screens associated with the R300, the inbuilt LCD set up screen and an optional extra "video" screen that you can preview your photos (sounds expensive0 I have had my R300 for about 4 months and have used it primarily for Photos. The results are bl--dy good but you have to use top grade photo paper of 240g/m2 weight or above. To get the best result I use HP premium glossy photo paper which seems to suit the photos I'm printing. With regard to the seperate ink cartridges, my view is that it is a real step forward.
Good Luck.

thanks yella.
I had a choice of buying with the TFT preview screen for an extra £25 but didnt think it was worth buying a 2" when I have a 17" monitor next to the printer anyway!
I guess the TFT screens are really for people who want to print straight from digital cameras and dont have PCs.
