The R300 from Epson gives you that little bit extra for the digital photographer than some other photo printers. The R300 takes your Digital camera's memory card and it can print directly from it. Meaning you don't have to download your pictures to your PC or set up any photo printing software in order to print your favourite pictures. It also prints on CD's and DVD's both on 8Cm and the 12Cm sizes. Plus the six separate ink cartridges keeps the quality extremely high and the cost of consumables down. The Epson R300 perfect for the home photo lab.

Lets elaborate a little on the main selling features of the Epson Stylus Photo R300. Firstly the direct printing from the digital camera. You can simply place your media card into the printer and browse the pictures you require to print and set them to print. No need for your PC to be on at the time, its all reliant on the printer and media card and nothing else. This is great for just printing off the odd photo quickly. And perfect if you don't even have a PC but want to print off your digital photo's at home.

The second of the main distinguishing features of the Epson Stylus Photo R300 is the separate ink cartridges, well 6 separate ink cartridges to be exact. You get a black, yellow, cyan, magenta, light cyan and light magenta cartridge. Not only does this give your colours a better sharpness and a much closer match to the real life picture. But it also cuts down on the ink usage. Not a much mixing of colours is required to achieve the shade required. With them all being in separate cartridges as well it means you only have to replace the colours that have run out not an entire multi-colour cartridge. This reduces the long term running cost of the R300.

Manufacturer's Description

Bypass your computer system and print photos directly from your digital camera's memory card, with the Epson R300. Just choose the photos you want from a proof sheet and press a couple of buttons, and then enjoy your borderless 4-by-6-inch photo in as little as 37 seconds. With clear border definition and colour separation, and genuinely realistic skin tones, the prints will be suitable for framing, as if they had come from a professional photo lab.

The R300 also does a splendid job on standard text documents, envelopes, labels or transparencies--you can even print on CDs and DVDs in both 8-cm and 12-cm sizes. When you're in a hurry, churn out draft-quality sheets at 15 pages per minute, or take your time and achieve the ultimate perfection of 5,760 x 1,440 optimised DPI photos.

Six individual ink cartridges keep the cost of consumables low; yields of 630 black pages and 430 colour pages (based on 5& coverage) mean you won't have to replace any of them too often. A convenient USB port allows you to connect a Zip drive or PictBridge-equipped camera directly to the front panel.

The sleek black-and-silver finish adds a streamlined modern look to your desktop, and the paper trays fold away when not in use to keep the area tidy. Epson includes a one-year warranty with the Epson exchange program.
