The Epson Stylus Photo R320 is a photo ink - jet printer that use dye - based ink in individual cartridges to print splendid photos with or without the service of your computer .
The Stylus Photo R320 is an update to the Stylus Photo R300 ( , February 2004 ) . This late model has a one - column inch LCD , so you could preview images on television camera retention cards , which you could enter in the pressman ’s built - in slots ( you could also seize a DirectPrint and PictBridge - enable camera directly to the USB port on the front of the printer ) . A one - inch display is not very bragging , but it does help you choose the correct image and choose the right print preferences .
Though the R320 ’s mark time were n’t the fastest we ’ve seen , its photo - trope lineament was excellent . color were accurate and concentrated and we saw no obvious dot patterns in the lighter areas of the photo . Its schoolbook printing , though estimable , was not as sharp that of the HP Photosmart 8450 ( , April 2005 ) and the Epson took longer to publish . In our homely - paper graphics trial , the Epson bring about very nice , smooth colour gradients and okay curving lines without breaks or kinks .
The R320 comes with an transcriber and software for printing directly onto ink - super acid printable CDs or videodisc . The computer software let in sampling and lots of different scope images to choose from . you could also import your own picture and add text to the CD . It worked just fine in our trial .

Macworld’s Buying Advice
The Epson R320 is a great photo pressman with some squeamish features like CD printing , preview showing and computerless printing options . It ’s a good all - around pressman too , though its text print were a little less sharp , and slow than some of our recently reviewed photo ink - jet printers .
