Unfortunately only mediocre, would not use the printer as a photo printer. I tried it with expensive glossy photo paper: Some of the colours are a bit weak and the sharpness could be better. My last Canon Pixma was better at this. I still haven't bought a Pixma because I need the Epson mainly for office purposes and I was fed up with the expensive ink cartridges that constantly run out and clog up. For office purposes, however, I am thrilled with the Epson.
