No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

10 days ago I received my Epson Artisan 50 via UPS.
My previous printer was an Epson Stylus R1800 (A great printer but died prematurely.)
I wanted a smaller printer this time, but excellent quality. I am not dissapointed.
The Artisan 50 has produces excellent quality prints. So far I have printed 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10, on glossy and they looked great.
Of course, when I first set up the printer fresh out of the box, I had to adjust the color controls. I wasted about 5 sheets of 5x7 before I was happy with the prints coming out of the unit.
On the inside the Artisan 50 is obviously not as well made as the R1800.
This printer produces great looking prints. The ink consumption seems to be much less than my previous machine. The only unknown is how long will this machine continue to work properly. Only time will tell.

Epson Artisian 50

I use this printer for CD Labels and it does a good job as far as the quality and color of the labels.
I do have a minor issue with one color catridge going out that it does not allow me to limp along. It completly quits I use some other 2 cartridge printer that allow me to print with lower quality if I choose.

EPSON Artisan 50 Inkjet Printer review
on June 17, 2012
Posted by: jeremy
from Mobile Al
Everything great about the printer except the removal and installation of the cd tray which gives a error. I had to remove and wiggle the tray and reinstall it over 40 times before the error quit. Seems no one at the factory did any quality control inspection or review of the finished product. Terrible design flaw.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Third time is a charm

I got this printer to replace an R280 that had after about three years developed a problem with colors bleeding together. The R280 replaced an R260 that had given up the ghost. I particularly chose these printers for the CD print capability, but also for the high quality photo printing. One thing I found immediately is that the color accuracy of the Artisan 50 is even better than that of its predecessors (which was pretty good). With Epson paper the Artisan really does produce photos as good as or better than a lab. I have not tried it with non-Epson photo papers, but based on previous experience I would not expect especially good results. I'm not sure whether that is an issue with the printer itself or with the driver software.
I am resolved to the fact that printers like this need to be replaced after a while. I don't mind too much as long as the ink cartridges (the real cost of the printer) are compatible with the new version of the printer.
I do occasionally have a problem with the printer not taking the CD tray correctly on the first try, but this seems to have improved a lot from the R260 and R280. I am generally pleased with the way this printer functions, but I am knocking off one star for the high ink prices.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Artisan 50

I love this printer. I had an R260 for several years and loved that but alas it died so I replaced it with the A50. It is about the same but sleeker looking and does the same things, prinnts on disks (I love that part). This is a terrific printer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

As of right now I'm waiting on my 2nd printer because the 1st one they sent me had issues. I couldn't get pass step 3 in the setup. The carriage that holds the ink would not slide over so that I could load the new ink cartriges. We'll see how the next one works...:-)

Epson Artisan 50 is a fantastic printer! Love the capability to print on printable CD/DVD covers. It helps personalize vacation and family photos that you would like to share with friends and family!
