The P2000 and the 2200 are inkjet printers that use special archival inks. It has 6-color (CMYK) drop-on-demand Micro Piezo ink jet technology. Its lightfastness can last 200 or more years before noticeable fading occurs, in normal indoor flourescent lighting, under a glass frame, when using Genuine EPSON Archival Inks and compatible EPSON matte type papers.
I believe it will handle anything a normal inkjet printer will handle as far as fonts. I don't print a lot of text, but what I have done printed just fine. It prints up to 13x19 inches which is a real plus for doing your own prints.
The one drawback is that it does not print well on many photo papers or shiny papers in general. The archival matte, and watercolor papers print superbly. The premium lustre paper is about as shiny as I would want to get on it.
It does use up ink pretty fast, however, it is still quite economical when compared to other print processes. I get the 13x19 watercolor paper for between $.70 and $.90 cents per sheet online and a full size 13x19 print costs about $1.50 to $2.00 in ink, so I average about $2-3 per print - a good deal for very good quality.
It prints a 13x19 print in about 20 minutes, so not too speedy. But it's quiet.
Hope that helps!
