The Ultra Hi-Definition product line consists of the Epson Stylus Photo R260 and R380 photo printers, along with the Epson Stylus Photo RX580 photo all-in-one. Using some of the same technology that professionals rely on to produce beautiful and marketable art, Epson’s new Ultra Hi-Definition printers set a new standard in the photo printer category. A key component of the new product line is Claria ink, the latest breakthrough in Epson’s long line of ink innovations, delivering superior image quality with Ultra Hi-Definition richness, depth and clarity. With Claria ink and a newly designed print head, these products deliver the fastest photo print speeds of any previous Epson model, and print longevity that is superior to lab photos. The Ultra Hi-Definition product line offers a variety of convenient and user-friendly features, such as automatic photo correction, which automatically adjusts improperly lit photos and corrects skin tones for better-looking prints – it's like having a trained photo lab technician inside the printer. All three models also print directly on ink jet printable CDs and DVDs without messy labels."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/R380+CD_OPK_640.jpg" /><br /><br />I've had <a href="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/articles.php?action=expand,8942">such a good experience</a> with my Epson R200, I've been looking forward to the next generation of printers and what they might have to offer. While I still use online printing services for large format, and bulk printing, nothing beats being able to crank out photos quickly and easily at home.
