I have an R800, and I'm gonna assume the R200 has the UltraChrome inks too... If that's the case, the media you use makes an enormous diference to printouts, if you're not using Epson paper specifically for those inks, you can get too much ink laid down, resulting in too dark a picture, or bronzing which is a metallic sheen over the picture, especially in the darker areas. Failing that, if you're using it on a PC, use the Printing Preferences window of the printer to increase the gamma or brightness setting. If you can't see these you may have to switch to Advanced, and/or switch Colour Management to Colour Controls or Manual...
All that is of course once you have made sure you have all your drivers fully up to date.
