Epson C11CA45201 Review by Digital Artist
I have used the Epson 8 color wide format R1800 printer for a number of years, and it did an outstanding job. For the time being I have no need for a printer of that quality, and when the R1800 needed repair I decided to replace it. I chose the Epson Artisan 50 printer which is a 6 color printer restricted to 8.5 inch width. I was attracted by the price, its simplicity, and yet it still has 6 individual color ink cartridges. To be honest I was skeptical. Since the price of the printer with 6 fresh ink cartridges is about the same as a set of replacement cartridges for the R1800, I decided to give it a shot.
I was amazed. The colors are a little more saturated, but then many people like that, it was a little slower printing full color at best quality, but I do not print enough full color for that to be a problem, and on comparing prints made on the old R1800 there was little difference. Since the R1800 had a gloss cartridge, one of the 8 colors, the pictures were a little less glossy, but I doubt that the casual observer would detect the difference.
I did not test the CD print function, since I do not use it, so I cannot speak for the quality of that.
If you are looking for a smart looking, compact, easy to use printer that gives your excellent color prints, and works well as a letter printer, and you do not want other functions combined into one machine like scanning, faxing, and so forth; the Artisan 50 is a good choice.
I am not pushing Epson products, but I generally use the paper and ink of the same brand as the printer, so the comments I made are based on prints made on Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper with Epson ink cartridges.

It prints magazine quality pics - faster than my old Ink Jet. I like the fact that i can replace individual a color and not waist a whole cartridge because i ran out on just one color.
Epson C11CA45201 Review by Christine (Maryland)
This is my first Epson printer and I have to say...I do love it! It was very easy to hook up and get started, basically plug and go. Wished it had come with its own USB cable, but at this price, it wasn't too big of a deal. Installing the ink cartridges was also a breeze. My old HP required some fiddling around with the controls after installing new cartridges to get them to align properly, etc. It took a lot of time and I think it also ended up wasting ink in the end. With the Epson, you basically just pop them in and the printer does all the work for you. Of course, if there are problems, it has a program to help realign them, but it looks like it's not required in the beginning.
To test out its picture printing capabilities, I printed a few photos on standard generic glossy photo paper. I have to admit, the quality is pretty amazing. The colors were so crisp and vibrant and completely true to what I saw on my monitor. My last printer, an HP inkjet, was more of an office-type printer and, although I thought its photo prints were pretty good, there was no comparison. I had used different settings on my HP printer to have best quality photos and all it really did was just burn up a lot of my ink. Using the "normal" settings vs the "best" settings, the pictures still came out looking the same. On my new Epson, I used the speed setting rather than the quality setting and they still came out looking better than the ones from the HP. I also really liked how the Epson ink dried almost immediately and resisted fingerprint smudges pretty well.
My next test would be to try printing photos on the Epson photo paper I also bought. I haven't used it enough to know how quickly a standard capacity ink cartridge lasts, but I intend on buying the high capacity ones anyway to replace them in the future.
I do recommend this printer. For the price, I don't think you can beat it.
