Skin tones were dead on, blues were wonderfully deep, and shots of green foliage were so vibrant they felt alive.

And when printed on glossy paper they have a natural shine very similar to traditional prints.Д¬olour prints look terrific as well, especially if you take the time to properly calibrate your production environment by using ICC profiles to ensure the colours seen on your monitor match those outputted by the printer (the printer comes with software that helps guide users in finding and installing appropriate profiles for various paper types).Д«ut even before colour management I was quite satisfied with the prints I was getting from the SP-R2400. All of the greyscale pictures I printed were truly neutral and high in contrast. The Glossy Black cartridge needs to be swapped with a Matte Black cartridge when printing on matte papers, which is a bit bothersome, but other than that one nuisance the ink system is top notch.Д«lack-and-white prints are the best I've seen in an inkjet printer. It employs a nine-ink palette composed of Epson's high-end UltraChrome K3 pigment inks, and uses five colour and three black cartridges: Glossy Black, Light Black, and Light Light Black. Prints generated by the SP-R2400 are as beautiful as any you'll see from a professional-consumer photo printer. Like all larger format printers, it's big and bulky it weighs more than 15 kilograms and will take up half your desk.Д«ut the space is worth it. Its simple silver and grey plastic case doesn't distinguish the SP-R2400 from the competition, though its myriad folding trays and covered compartments are smartly designed and easy to figure out. Ports exist for both USB 2.0 and FireWire, but there is no Ethernet network support. It has only four buttons: power, paper feed, call ink carriage, and spool feed. The printer itself is utilitarian in design. Professional photographers and studios will almost certainly find occasion to use these add-ons, but the average home user will probably leave them sitting in the box.

There are also several attachments meant to be used for specific printing situations, including spools for paper rolls (the SP-R2400 can print images up to 44 inches wide) as well as a couple of tray pieces meant to provide extra support for varying sizes and stocks of paper. I was ready to go in less than 15 minutes.

Just insert the ink cartridges, connect the printer to your PC, install the printer driver, and run either a manual or automatic alignment test. Setup is surprisingly simple for a professional grade printer. That said, if there's any way you can justify putting out $1,100 (Cdn.) for a personal, dedicated photo printer, this is the one to buy. It's big, expensive, and is at its best can spit out 13-inch by 19-inch prints to be displayed on gallery walls.

The Epson Stylus Photo 2400 is far more printer than 99 per cent of the photo producing population needs.

The Verdict: The leading inkjet contender for small fine art photography studios and serious amateur photographers.

The Bad: The cost of printing is high users have to swap glossy and matte black cartridges when switching paper types it's a space hog.

The Good: Dazzling print quality, especially in black-and-white surprisingly fast print speeds at high resolution settings on larger paper sizes very easy to set up.
