Epson R320

A little bigger than the standard inkjet printer, the R320 stands out visually because it has two screens as well as a multiple memory card reader at the front.

This dedicated photo printer will handle paper in up to A4 sizes, with the ability to print edge-to-edge without a white border. It will also handle photo-sized paper and will print on to CDs from a special tray.

It is simple to set up and installing and changing the six ink tanks is quite easy. Print quality is superb at the top settings, with vibrant colours and great detail. Text quality is not so good on normal paper but special inkjet or gloss paper worked much better.

It is not a fast printer, however, taking five minutes to print an A4 colour page (or eight minutes at the best settings), while text took around 30 seconds per page.

It can print straight from six types of memory cards, or a camera plugged into the printer's front USB port. The supplied software is easy to install and use.
