Professional Review by Photography Expert: Michael Stewart

by shooter , Oct. 3, 2003

Comments:
The 2200 is the best desktop inkjet printer for photography. This printer combines the wide color range of dye-based printers with the long life of pigment inks. There is no competition for this printer because nothing on the market is remotely similar.

QuickTake:

Pros: The 2200 is an excellent printer for digital photography.

Cons: The driver for apple OSX has bugs. Glossy paper is only ok.
