The Epson Stylus Photo 960 offers an impressive number of options for graphics geeks and families with large wallets. It features a 2,880x1,440dpi (dots per inch) resolution, and it prints to a wide array of media, including standard 4- and 8.3- inch-wide paper rolls. It also includes a handy automatic paper cutter and catcher, turning your printer into a mini photo lab. But unfortunately,
though it delivers reasonable-quality text, it does so at only 2.5 ppm--at the lower end of the photo printers we've tested.

This is not a technical opinion. I am an amateur photographer with an expesive hobby. I have spent several thousand dollars on a Nikon D100 DSLR camera, lenses, accesories, and software. I normally use a high quality photo lab for my prints because I care about the color quality. I bought the printer to use it for proof before sending it to the lab, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the quality of the Epson 960 when compared to the lab prints. Now, I am thinking of saving myself from going to the lab for my regular 8x10 or smaller prints. In a couple of words, I LOVE THIS LITTLE PRINTER!
