The Epson 2000P Printer has been out for some time now. I have not read much in the forums; there has been very little chatter regarding this printer. There has been more chatter on the Epson 1200 and 1160 printers, and lately the Epson 1280.

Is the Epson 2000P the Ford Edsel in the printing world?

Is there an Epson 2000P following out there? Any happy Epson 2000P users?--jim
 
Great minds think alike. I was just doing a search for it. It only prints at 1440x720, but that's plenty of dots. 13x19 inches= big! Does anyone know if does borderless prints?

I have had a 2000P sitting boxed in a closet for about 4 months now. I much prefer the image quality I get from my 1270. Not only is contrast better, and black richer, but the 2000P suffers from a huge problem...colors do not look the same in sunlight as they do in artificial light. So, if you hang a print on a wall that happens ot be near a window, it will look different during the daytime than at night. Plus, if held at an angle, you can see the ink sitting on the page in certain parts of the print, and not others. All these comments have been make previously in this forum.

No, the 2000P does not do borderless prints.

Many of us use the 2000P to good effect. I did a review some time back comparing the 1270 and the 2000P. Do a search on "Epson 1270-Epson 2000P comparison" The primary reason for doing 2000P prints is to get good longevity. I use it for prints I give away. Many folks use it for prints for sale.

Try going to Inkjetart.com There you'll find a very good comparison of the 2000P vs. the 1270.

I just got my 2000P and I'm very impressed with the quality of the prints. I have a Oly P-400 dye sub and have used the 1270 before also and I think the 2000P is right in there with both of them. The 2000P's image just needs a saturation boost to make it look exactly like the 1270's image, and as far as the color shift due to different light sources, I held the 2000P prints under several different lights (sunlight, incandescent, fluorescent) and couldn't tell any difference at all. If there is a difference it must be very very slight!

Thanks to all for your input... i presently have an Epson 1160.... The Epson 2000P has intrigued me due to the longetivity claim I'v read about. But this forum had been primarily void of Epson 2000P chatter and thus I decided to see if there is much of a following for the 2000P presently.

Again, thank you...

I also give my 2000P prints a boost with the Photoshop unsharp mask. Use 13%, radius=80, and threshold=0. I see the metamerism in some of my prints. It mostly shows up where there are neutral colors. If you have a print with bright colors, then it is not very noticeable.

Strange...to me the color difference is obvious. I don't see it when held under flourescent light, but sunlight makes the color unacceptable.

After reading your responce I had my wife look at the photo under different lights to see if it was just me, but she couldn't see a difference either, the photo did have bright colors...maybe that made the difference.

I returned My 2000P to epson because of the color shift (matamerisum) problem. Try looking at your print in the shade (very cool light) then look under incondesent. Flesh tones shifted the most obvious.

The amount of metamerism varies greatly depending on the image. And individual's level of tolerance for it seems to vary too.

Take a look at my web site:

http://www.meyerweb.net/epson

and click on the 2000P vs. 1270 link for more info.
 
I've done more testing with the 2000P prints and have noticed that the photos that I don't boost the saturation on, seem to suffer the most from color shifting due to different lighting. On the ones that get a good boost of color saturation I don't see the change hardly at all!

I much prefer the 1280 having tried far too many.

I've used the 1270 and with the 2000P's saturation boosted a little, it looks just like the 1270's prints. From what I've read the 1280's prints don't look any different from the 1270's, have you compared the 1270 with the 1280 prints? Do you see any difference?

I had thought about getting the 1280 but I sell my photos so I need an archival printer, do you know how long the 1280's prints will last on heavyweight matte paper before fadding or color shifting?
Thanks, Dennis

I must be one of the few out there who use a 2000P and Like it.

I was sick of the time and expense of reprinting photos from my Epson 900 and my old Photo750.

The drivers from the 2000P really are geard to the lighting in most peoples houses i.e. Tungnston/daylight, and there is some fussing when I use the prints at work under FL. tubes. It took me a little while to get used to the surface of the archival matte paper, but the combination of the printer with that paper is amazing. This printer is a special purpose printer as far as I'm concerned and the first generation to boot. I love it.

I really like my 2000p! So much so that I purchased an Epson 9500{44 inches wide, same ink} I sell fine art prints and print on watercolor paper or canvas. Sometimes the color shift is unacceptable but most images come out great.

For the record, I also like my 2000P. I use it for prints that I give away, for prints that I restore, or any other application where I would not be able to reprint if fading occurs. For my own display use, I use the 1270 as it is a bit easier to work with.
