"You might be forgiven for thinking that Epson's Stylus Photo R265 is an all-in-one machine, it's that bulky. Quite why it has to be as high off the desk or as deep in its body is hard to fathom, but as long as space isn't a problem, at first sight it has a lot to offer. Coloured in black and silver, the machine really is substantial, with what is styled to look like a control panel running the full width of its front. There are only three buttons, for power, ink replacement and page eject, set at its centre, though. Behind the panel is a large, silver top-cover, which lifts to reveal a cartridge carrier with six, push-fit, colour ink cartridges. As its name suggests, this is a photo printer and includes light cyan and light magenta inks as well as the four main colours."I have an older version of this printer -
the R200 - and I have to say that it never ceases to impress me when I crank out a photo or a printed-on CD or DVD. I love being able to create high-quality projects at home. This unit in particular looks quite a bit larger than my R200, so I think I'll be holding on to this one for a while.
