I would suggest getting some lower end Epson papers - Premium Matte, Super Premium Matte (whatever they are called) - and starting with them until your skills and feel for the machine get up to speed. Run a nozzle check and move forward accordingly. Still have the 2200, but use it less and less.ДЇirst, make sure that everything is working properly, so that you aren't trying to resolve issues when printing. I have had/used a 2200 for probably 4/5 years I now have a 3800 also. Inkjet art is also a good place: : Welcome.Д®pson 2200 with Epson Exhibition Fiber? - Luminous Landscape Forum Felix's recomendation for Red River papers is a good one too, I've never used them, but they are well liked. There are so many paper choices out there, that you might want to look into getting a sampler pack and finding what you like best. For what it's worth, I preferred matte papers on the 2200. Can't comment on them yet but they're worth a look. The former similar to Epson Lustre but with a heavier base and the latter similar to Epson Exhibition Fiber, but substantially cheaper. I will be trying Ilford Gallerie Smooth Pearl and Ilford Gallerie Gold Fibre Silk.

It is a luster E-Surface similar to Fuji Crystal Archive Matte. Epson Ultra Premium Lustre is also very nice. It is similar to an f-surface if you have ever seen that. It is sharp, has very deep blacks, and has a huge color gamut, supposedly the largest of any paper made. It is kinda pricey, but I have never seen better print quality. I suggest getting QImage and look into Quadtone RIP for B&WДЄs far as paper choices I am in love with the new Epson Exhibition Fiber.

Make sure to soft proof your images in your printing software to prevent waste. Switching between them cost a lot of money in wasted ink, it needs to purge the lines each time. Pointers I can offer are to standardize on either matte or photo black. For comparison my cost with the 3800 are $1.18 per A4 Premium Lustre print including 25% ink overhead. I'd guess it'll cost you $2.00-3.50 per A4 sheet of paper printed. It is an excellent printer! The prints are rated to resist fading for a long time when using genuine epson inks and papers.Д«ecause of it's small ink cartridges, don't expect it to be a better value over sending out for chemical prints. I had a 2200 for a few years when they first came out(using a 3800Pro now). There is a learning curve where you will use a lot of ink and paper with bad output. It is probably a wash at 8X10 but the quality of the prints are actually better on the home printer. The 2200 uses pigment ink.ДЄs to cost, if you are printing 4X6, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Target, etc, will always be cheaper. I have a R280 which uses Claria dye based ink and wish I had a pigment printer for the longevity. If someone gave me one, I would certainly set it up and use it. From what I have found on the internet it must have been a decent photo printer in it's prime, is anyone still using it and is it worth setting up? how is it on cost per photo, I understand It can print up to 13 x19 prints with startleing quality, it may be slow but I do not intend to print many larger prints, also not sure of costs whith this printer as far as paper, ink etc.any input will be a big help, and thanks.It is pretty good printer but the ink carts are really small for a 13' wide printer. Someone gave me an epson 2200 printer and I do not really know much about it specifically.
