I never used those accessories and found most people did not, and so I guess Epson figured it was not worht equipping with any longer.Īfter firing it up and using it now for a couple of months, I can say that this latest entry into the world of fine art printing is everything it should and needed to be to improve upon the already great 2200. This new unit does not come with the paper cutter and fabric paper catch bin that the 2200 shipped with. It has a new paper catch tray that slides out with the touch of a finger similiar to a giant CD player tray. The machine is a rugged looking, handsome unit, silver and black in color. It sits in the same tight spot on my desk as the 2200, so the footprint is close to the same, however the 2400 looks to be a bit taller. Well, here comes the 2400 to finally replace the old industry workhorse. The only drawbacks were it's print speed and it's use of only two black inks which made printing in b&w less than ideal, but still acceptable. I had been using the Epson 2200 for about a year, and it has given me great prints and reliablity.
Nozzel Checks, Head Cleans, and new drivers downloaded, ICC Profiles Downloaded, and new inks ordered along with some paper (Inks are not available at stores anymore).īut between ebay and Staples (with ink rebates) I was good.ĭamn, I must of forgot to change the printer/paper settings.
(I had to wait a few days because I was out of town to start to work on it. Made a proposal and before I knew it the printer had arrived. So when the Opportunity to pick up the R2400 was there I jumped at it. Got it to print with Photoshop almost what I saw on the screen. It had 6 ink tanks which is the way to go, instead of 2 carts 1 CMY and the 1 K. Once I got into Digital Photography I purchased an Epson R200 (I still have it). I've only used Epson Printer since my first Computer purchase of a Dell CPU that cam with a printer (Color) back in 1997 (Epson 870) I was lucky enough to get this printer from a very Generous person for the price I paid.
