The comparison to previous model

I considered these printer comparable to Epson T50, Epson Stylus Photo T60, Epson P60 Printer, and 6 colors Epson Artisan printer . Compare to this printer there is slight difference in performance speed but at almost the same quality of photograph prints.

The only difference between the Epson T60 and Epson Stylus P60 is the continuous ink system. The Epson L800 uses original continuous ink system that covers 1 year  warranty  from Epson Company while the Epson Stylus P60 or Epson T60 don’t have the CIS installed.

If you want to convert your Epson Stylus Photo Printer into Bottomless ink System (CIS), you have to buy from third party manufacturer which Epson automatically voids the warranty of Epson T50 printer, t60, Artisan Printer.

Overall the Epson L800 inkjet  printer is still recommended as replacement of Epson T60, Epson P60 or Epson T50 Printer Model. All of the printer mention above is compatible to Windows Xp, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 8  Machine. For Mac Users, there is a compatibility issue regarding the installation of L series printer, check this Epson guide to fix your problem.

If you want a professional print out of your photographs. I recommend to buy this Epson L800 printer. Slightly expensive but its one of the best Printer in this World.
