Epson’s latest creation sports several notable features that make it stand out against its competition. It uses pigment-based UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 inks and AccuPhoto HG Image Technology, both of which ensure that your print jobs come out with the visual quality and precision of the highest-end printers. Their [larger ink cartridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkjet-press) means less trips to the mall to buy replacements, and this little wonder can handle print jobs on roll paper, canvas, fine art papers and CD/DVDs. The $499 price tag is a bit of a commitment, but it will save you money in the long-run. The Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Jet Printer will be available for purchase later this month. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **High-res Printers:** Creating a demand for high-resolution, studio-quality printers in the home market. - **Pigment-based Inks:** Increasing awareness and consideration of pigment-based inks in the home printing industry. - **Flexible Printing Materials:** Expanding the use of printers from normal paper to canvases, fine art papers, CD/DVDs, and roll paper. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Printing Industry:** Opportunities in developing high-quality, efficient printers for the home market. - **Ink Manufacturing Industry:** Potential to manufacture and market pigment-based inks as a superior alternative to traditional inks. - **Art Supply Industry:** Marketing to artists a more affordable way to produce high-quality prints without having to outsource. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Compact Photo Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultracompact-photo-printer.md) - [Double-Sided Photo Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epson-3.md) - [High-Performance Label Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primera-lx4000-color-label-printer.md) - [Subscription-Based Printing Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subscriptionbased-printing-service.md) - [Direct-To-Film Printer Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/directtofilm-printer-series.md) - [All-In-One Desktop Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eprint.md) - [Stylish Intelligent Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerhouse-office-printer.md) - [Dual-Head UV Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/longer-eprint.md) - [Remote Work-Oriented Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maxify.md)
