You can load thicker stock there but you are tempting fate in terms of surface roughing and perhaps even jamming for thicker stock, such as cotton rag and so-called “fine art” papers (like Epson’s Velvet Fine Art), you are limited to single feed work through the front. There is a front and stack load type feeder, although stacking is practically limited to those papers rated at or below about 240 gsm, or standard printing paper. This 13” printer can handle all sorts of surfaces and weights, print on CDs, and even be set up to work wirelessly within your home or studio network. There is auto-switching of black inks with both matte and photo black on board I timed a switch and it took about 9 minutes the first time I did it. The printer offers two grays (light and “light, light”) and a matte and glossy black, making it a nice three-grayscale set for each surface. When you work with an Epson printer of this class you get to use Epson’s Advanced B&W mode and the Epson inks, to me one of the best combos in the business for making neutral, warm, or cool exhibition-quality prints. There are nine inks in all, with Epson’s UltraChrome K3 ink technology, a leading pigment-ink offering. The ink carts have a much higher capacity than the amateur Epson models (25.9 ml for the R3000) but are smaller than those available in pro models.
The printer could be said to span the pro/amateur ranking, much like some D-SLRs these days. Failure to do so will block the Advanced B&W mode in the Print Setup dialog box. When you want to use Epson’s excellent Advanced B&W mode choose Printer as the handler. For most work, and when you want to use specific paper profiles, choose Photoshop as the option under Color Handling. When you open the Print dialog box you begin by choosing whether the printer or Photoshop will manage color.
