The Epson Sylus Photo R800 produces true photo-quality output. It also prints from standard business apps and on printable CDs and DVDs. The printer uses eight ink cartridges: cyan, yellow, magenta, red, blue, two versions of black, and a gloss optimizer cartridge. The red and blue inks yield a larger-than-usual color gamut, and the two versions of black—one for plain and matte paper and one for glossy—let it use black ink on all media, rather than mixing colors. Graphics quality is very good. It may not be the fastest printer, but it's versatile.
