The first photo printer with integrated CISS is the L800 EPSON. Feedback on this printing device, its technical specifications and capabilities will be further considered.
Niche
The L800 EPSON is targeted at the high-end color printer market . The recall of any owner of such a printer indicates that it is ideally suited for displaying images. In turn, the presence of an integrated system of CISS allows minimizing the cost of obtaining one print. The result is an excellent tool for printing high-quality images and with minimal investment. It is for those who care about the combination of these two factors, and the hero of this review was released.
Printing method. Number of colors
This photo printer uses inkjet printing. When forming a picture on paper, 6 colors are used: black, cyan, light blue, magenta, light magenta and yellow. The capacity of each container is 70 ml. The key issue in this case is the quality ink for the EPSON L800. Reviews say that when using original branded supplies, print quality is an order of magnitude higher and better. Therefore, the use of third-party products in combination with this photo printer is highly not recommended. But the cost of one print increases when using branded ink.
Communications
Only one connection method is implemented in this printing device - this is USB revision 2.0. Of course, some will say that such a photo printer must be equipped with a port for memory cards, for others it is important to have a wireless way to exchange information over Wi-Fi. But additional installation of any of the previously mentioned communication methods would lead to a significant increase in the price of the printer. Therefore, to maintain a balance of price and functionality, Japanese engineers have provided only one way to connect to this printing device. Moreover, its capabilities are more than enough in this case.
Resolution of printed documentation
The strong point is the resolution of output documents in EPSON InkJet Photo L800. Reviews in this case indicate that it is not so easy to distinguish a single point, the size of which corresponds to 1.5 pl, on such a typo even with the use of special tools. The total resolution for A4 format is in this case 5760 x 1440. It is due to this technical specification that this printer can be classified as a device for printing photos or any other high-quality color images (booklets, calendars, etc.).
Supported paper sizes, print speed
This photo printer does not have a rigid binding to certain paper sizes . It can print on any “piece” of paper, the size of which is set in the device’s setup menu. The maximum size, like that of most of its competitors, is limited by the A4 format, or in millimeter equivalent 297 in length and 210 in width. The density of the paper for image output should be in the range from 64 to 300 g / m 2 . In the case of printing a monochrome image, the speed will be 37 pages in one minute, and color - 38. But again, these values will vary significantly depending on the selected mode. For example, when displaying high-quality 10x15 photos, the output speed will decrease to 12 prints in the same minute.
Reviews
A very and very balanced photo printer is the L800 EPSON. The recall of any owner indicates, first of all, the high print quality. This is facilitated by a number of factors, the main of which are the use of inkjet technology of imprinting using 6 colors and high resolution. Also, the advantages in this case include high speed. The communication kit of the printer is also considered a drawback - there is only USB (but there is no way around this drawback), and for printing it is recommended to only use original, branded consumables. This increases the cost of one page being printed, but improves its quality.
Cost and its compliance with declared specifications
At the moment, you can still buy EPSON L800 photo printer from stocks for 13,000 rubles. Reviews, on the one hand, indicate a slightly overpriced price of both the device itself and high-quality consumables. But if you supplement this whole picture with the high quality of the documents received and the presence of the built-in NPC system, then it becomes obvious that the set price for this printing device and its technical specifications are fully consistent.
Summary
Great for printing any color documents L800 EPSON. The recall of any of its owners indicates that it is great for both home use and office use. In fact, it has no shortcomings, and this is one of the best products in its niche, which is also equipped with an NPH system. All this, on the whole, distinguishes this solution favorably against the background of competing photo printers, which certainly cannot boast of such a set.
