"I hate this printer."
Pros: When it works it prints great photos.
Cons: Works OK with Photoshop but not well with InDesign.
Summary: One of the reasons I bought this printer is to print color comps used in my graphic design business but also to print photos. It is suppose to print to the edge of the paper which it will in Photoshop but won't out of InDesign or using the PDF print options. Epson says it's an Adobe issue and Adobe says its an Epson issue. It also uses a rediculous amount of ink and the price for each of the 9 cartridges it uses has gone up 2 bucks since I got it. It also won't print black text black (it is a grayscale). I also havne't been thrilled with the color output being true to the colors I'm picking. And one of my biggest complaints is that the print driver defauts to Letter-manual in many of the programs I use no matter how many times I try to reset the default so EVERY TIME I want to print something I need to go into the Page Setup menu and pick what paper I'm using. I've only used the higher end Epson printers in the past and am VERY disappointed with this one.

I realize this thread is a year ago but I can't help but give it a shot...
I too am a designer looking for a 13x19 printer to output from all Adobe CS3 and CS4 applications. Any suggestions? -
Hi
I myself was going to buy the R2400 today until I read your response. I too am a designer and need to combine good photo quality and type in one document. Did you find the answer with another printer or are you still looking?
