Epson C11CA45201 Review
Epson C11CA45201 Review by Stephen M. Prescott (Minneapolis, Minnesota United States)
I think three stars is quite generous. The printer puts out a decent print job but it is finicky as all get out. When you try to print a disk, you have to play with it for ten minutes before it will start. Then after the first disk, you don't just continue on, you have to play with it some more for each subsequent disk. The software displays a modular error window that you cannot dismiss (the 'Cancel' button does not work and the little 'X' in the upper right hand corner is disabled) -- nice touch. I'm writing this now because I just had to use Windows Task manager to close that dialog. The software is really bad stuff. There is an 'Online Help' button on the error dialog that you can click if you want but here is no help awaiting you so you might as well save your time on that.
As I said, the final product (disk or paper) is acceptable.
Epson C11CA45201 Review by Harry Abramson (Chesapeake, Virginia USA)
I've used Epson printers with my Apple computers since the days of the Apple ][+ and MX80 dot-matrix printer. However, my last Epson (in the late '90s) didn't play nicely with my PowerMac running OS9, so I switched over to Canon until I recently had a need to print directly onto CD & DVD media.
I now have the Artisan 50 connected to an iMac G5 running Tiger. I'm using Disc Cover to layout my CD/DVD label designs and I was a little concerned that it wouldn't support the brand-new Artisan 50. Sure enough, it isn't listed as a supported printer, but it turns out that selecting "Epson Tray Type 2" works just fine.
In fact, nearly everything about this printer works as well as, or better than, the Canon Pixma iP4000 I'd been using 'till now. The 6-cartridge system produces stunning printouts on both optical media and photo paper, and it is very fast compared to the old printer. The only thing I miss is the Canon's automatic duplex printing, but for $99, I'm extremely pleased with the Artisan 50.
Epson C11CA45201 Review by CD Expert "CD Expert" (Minnesota)
This is a fantastic printer for the casual user, but can be problematic for critical uses.
This is the 6th Epson printer we've used. When printing out from Adobe Illustrator on all previous models, the size of the printout exactly matches the design.
When trying to print CD inserts on our new Artisan 50, booklets that are designed to be 119.5mm, end up being almost 125mm. May not sound like much, but once they're cut, they don't fit in the CD box. It's very slow and tedious to modify all our layouts that are on file.
Previous models capable of printing on CD's (such as the Stylus Photo R300) were dead on accurate.
The other annoying problem is that you can't print from Illustrator directly to CD any longer. That was a great feature of the R300. In the Artisan 50, you have to use their amateurish CD print utility.
