Then there are the improvements: The R1900’s permanent MicroPiezo AMC print head now has the same ink-repelling coating the more-expensive Stylus Pro 3800 has. Like its predecessor, the R1900 makes borderless prints up to 13×44 inches using roll media, handles cut-sheet and thick fine-art papers up to 13×19 inches using two paper paths, and prints on coated CDs and DVDs. According to Wilhelm Imaging Research ( color and black-and-white prints on Epson’s Watercolor Radiant White paper will resist fading for up to 200 years on display under glass, about twice as long as what Canon claims for the dye-based Pro9000.
While the Canon may make prints faster, the R1900, like its predecessor, makes longer-lasting ones. It also popped out 13×19-inch borderless prints on Premium Glossy photo paper in only 4 minutes, 20 seconds - much faster than the R1800 (6 min, 48 sec), though still not as fast as Canon’s Pixma Pro9000 (2 min, 27 sec). We say that based on the print and performance results we got in the Pop Photo Lab, where the R1900 set a new record for color accuracy and wide color gamut. Not only does it replace the popular, and aging, Stylus Photo R1800, but it may eat into sales of the Stylus Photo R2400 ($700, street).
Isn’t it great when a company puts out a product that’s not only better than the one it replaces, but superior in some ways to higher-end models? Take Epson’s new Stylus Photo R1900 ($530, street).
