User Opinions

Epson Artisan 50 Inkjet Printer User Reviews

Excellent for Printing Directly onto DVDs, | Rating: ★★★★★
“I bought this printer for the sole purpose of printing directly on DVDs (I shoot short films and am constantly needing to print on DVDS to submit for film festivals). Searching the Internet I couldn’t find a solid recommendation for a printer — so, for the relatively little bit of money, I tried this one. And it works great for this purpose. “ – by Paul Haber

A Great Printer, | Rating: ★★★★★
“I purchased this Epson printer because of my experiance with Epson. The old on I had gave out and I needed one for printing CD/DVD. This Epson 50 fit my budget and my needs perfectly. It is easy to set up and use even with W7 OS. It is even better than the 400 that went bad as it is much easier and prints better. The only bad part is it doesn’t have a scanner but I have my 7800 for that. “ – by Charles B. Silsbee

Nice Disc Printer, | Rating: ★★★★☆
“This was bought so I could make more professional looking DVDs and CDs well that it does. I’ve only printed about 20 so far on it (5 silver printable CDs 15 white printable DVDs) and the quality of the print is excellent, I’ve used less than 1/8 of the ink (or so it says) Let them dry for 24 hours.” – by M.E.F.

A tidy little workhorse, | Rating: ★★★★☆
“It produces clear, vibrant colors whether on a printable disc or photo paper. Text on plain paper for inkjets is crisp. If you’re a scrapbook hobbyist or create invitations, the ink bleeds on acetate and cotton fiber vellum, as I expected it would. Hey, I took a shot on products that weren’t designed for inkjet printers, although in these modern times, all sorts of inkjet friendly palettes are probably readily available. “ – by M. Gerrish

Epson Artisan 50: Excellent dye-based printer, | Rating: ★★★★★
“It has been reliable on all counts, paper feed, printing quality and CD/DVD feed and printing. I like standalone printers over multifunction devices, and this one is a great choice for that role. The print quality is top-notch, even unbeatable, at this price range. It came with full capacity cartridges. “ – by M. Purnell

Great low priced option for quality on DVD/CD media printing, | Rating: ★★★★★
“I bought this for its DVD/CD surface printing, and I was not disappointed. The first print out was perfectly aligned to the disk and photo quality. I’ve printed about 15 disks so far and every one of them is printed to the very edges and razor sharp quality…” – by BRAINY33

A big improvement over the Epson R280 photo printer!! | Rating: ★★★★★
“I have owned several Epson printers and I am very happy with the print quality from all of them but the Epson Artisan 50 has a big improvement over the others. It doesn’t stop printing when the ink is low. It tells you after your printing is done, not like the Epson R280 did. That sucked. I wasted so much ink and paper over that. So, with that I am very pleased with the Artisan 50. “ – by D. Brinkley

Great so far | Rating: ★★★★★
“The test prints were great so I printed a CD. It was perfect, Then I did some photos. They are the most beautiful photos I have ever printed. All the good things I read about this printer were true, and the negative things appear to have been corrected. If you are in need of a new printer, I highly recommend this as a replacement as of this time.” – by Richard E. Hanson

Epson Artisan 50 Inkjet Printer Features

Bring your imagination to life with the Artisan 50 from Epson. This compact and stylish printer ignites all your creative inspirations. Print Ultra Hi-Definition photos with amazing richness, depth and clarity. With auto photo correction, your prints are perfect every time. The Artisan 50 even makes it easy to print your own images and text onto CDs and DVDs. And, it’s great for everyday projects. Quickly and easily print documents, e–mails, itineraries and more. Get maximum print speeds of 38 ppm color and laser quality speeds of 5 ppm color. An affordable, high performance ink jet, the Artisan 50 is ideal for all your photos and daily printing needs.

Quality beyond compare
The Artisan 50 delivers vibrant color photos and crisp, clear text. Working in tandem with Claria® Hi–Definition Ink, the “smart nozzles” in Epson’s exclusive MicroPiezo® print head deliver up to five droplet sizes, some as small as 1.5 picoliters, to produce exceptionally smooth gradations, amazingly accurate skin tones and sharp, grain–free photos.

Professional looking CDs/DVDs
Now there’s no need to use messy labels or markers in order to personalize CDs and DVDs. With this innovative feature from Epson, you can make professional looking discs that are easy to identify by printing your images and text right onto ink jet printable CDs/DVDs. (Software included)

Perfect photos, every time
Now you don’t have to discard poorly exposed photos. Thanks to smart photo enhancement features from Epson, you can make your pictures look the way you intended them to look. Built–in Auto Photo Correction automatically evaluates and corrects digital images — better than the competition. It even includes advanced face detection, which distinguishes people from scenery, correcting the color accordingly to ensure beautiful, natural skin tones. With the Artisan 50, you can also remove red eye. It’s like having your own photo lab right at home.

Versatile paper handling
It’s never been easier to get what you want, when you want it. With the Artisan 50’s adjustable paper tray, you can print a variety of things, from 4×6 photos to legal–size documents. And, it’s just as easy to print on both sides of the paper. With manual, two–sided printing1, you’ll save money and paper.

Worry–free handling of photos
With the Artisan 50, you get professional quality photos that are smudge, scratch, water and fade resistant, so you can handle them right after printing. Place them in an album or share them with family and friends, worry–free.

Prints that outlast photo lab prints
Six–color Claria Hi–Definition Ink, together with Epson premium photo papers, offers the ultimate combination of photo quality and longevity. Prints made with Claria ink last up to four times longer than those from a traditional photo lab2. Photos last up to 98 years on display under glass and over 200 years in an album. Photos from the leading competitor last only 65 years on display under glass. With Epson, you can feel confident in sharing your prints for generations to come.

Fast print speeds
This speedy printer keeps up with your busy life. Print brilliant 4×6 photos in as fast as 11 seconds. The Artisan 50 is just as impressive when it comes to everyday documents like e-mails, driving directions, term papers and more, delivering maximum print speeds up to 38 pages per minute color/37 pages per minute black.

Sleek, compact design
Enjoy the best of both worlds: compact design and powerful performance. With Artisan, you get quality and speed, without sacrificing space or a stylish design. Sleek and chic, Artisan fits your lifestyle and your décor.

Individual ink cartridges – replace only the color you need
Six individual ink cartridges give you control over ink usage. Replace only the cartridge you need! Claria ink is also available in high-capacity cartridges to accommodate higher volume print needs, giving you about 60% more prints than with the standard cartridge.

Product protection you can count on
The Artisan 50 comes with a 1–year limited warranty, which includes a quick product exchange benefit. So, you can rest easy, knowing you have dependable service and support.

Be more informed
The new international ISO print speed standard

Print speed is critically important when buying a printer or all-in-one. But how do you compare print speeds when different manufacturers measure in different ways? Now you can. Much like the “MPG” ratings on new cars, there’s now a new industry standard for measuring print speed, which allows for an “apples-to-apples” comparison between different printer models and brands. The International Organization for Standardization (widely known as ISO) developed this industry approved and internationally accepted standard, specifically for ink jet printers and all-in-ones. It measures “out of the box” (default) print speeds using “real world” printing scenarios, so you can be sure you’re getting a product that performs at the speed you need.
