I bought this printer with high expectations that I would be able to do color office printing and high-quality professional photo printing, as advertised. Though the printer should be able to do both jobs, to do so you have to manually change out the matte black ink and the photo black ink each time depending on what type of printing you are doing. Even worse, the printer software has BIG problems detecting that the inks have switched and just won't print. Even worse than this, every time you switch, the printer uses up ink detecting the cartridge, the cartridge you take out dries out and the result...I've printed literally TWO photos and now the printer is telling my the photo black cartridge doesn't have enough ink to switch over and has frozen up the whole printer and I have to buy new ink cartridges at high Epson prices....ridiculous! Now I know why they put this printer on sale.... Don't waste your time and money.

I love this printer. I used the Epson Artisan for over a year to print custom invitations and the prints were really great with that printer but it ALWAYS jammed on me and drove me insane when printing with cardstock. So I splurged and purchased this Stylus to replace it. It's fantastic!! I will say the print quality is the same as I got from the Artisan (AWESOME!) but it handles cardstock SOOOO much better. The back paper feeder is way more effective than the printers with the loading trays. I never have a paper jam with this printer and it can easily handle heavy cardstock. It's print speed is on the slow side if that will be an issue for you. I find the beautiful prints worth the wait.

I am a Photography Student at a local college and do my own photo printing. I want to make sure that the pictures come out as intended for my assignments. I always buy Epson ink for my Epson R2880 and never have had a problem. The printer does go through a lot of ink and the cartridges are small, but the quality is excellent. I have never received a bad Epson Ultra Chrome ink cartridge, but then again I have never purchased non-Epson ink. I use Epson products for all of my printing needs including the paper its printed on.

Rec'd the printer promptly w/o problem. Have been using it for a little over a month now and well satisfied. My old printer had driver problems, always warning about ink being low when it wasn't and print jobs that suspended and then were hard to cancel. The epson works well for everything I've tried so far and have no complaints. Individual ink compartments are good because you are only ever replacing the one that is empty as opposed to a multicolor combined cartridge. My epson v600 scanner performs so well that it helped make the decision in buying this epson printer. At the time printer was sold it had a $100 rebate which I will update review only if I do not receive.

I am a photo hobbyist, and enjoy printing my own images, especially making note cards with nice images. I have probably made 300 or fewer prints, and the printer is now in need of repair, according to epson tech support. I live in Salt lake City, and will need to send it to Boise for a repair. The problem is failure to feed the paper. Although the images from this printer are indeed beautiful, I cannot recommend a machine which breaks this quickly. Another issue is that the ink cartridges are expensive and do not last long. Bottom line: don't buy it.

I am a photo studio owner for over 30 years and I have owned many printers. I purchased the R2000 to print note cards, photo cards, and post cards. The folks at Red River Paper said that this was a good printer to do what I wanted. I tried for days to get it to work and after talking tot he Epson Rep. he set me straight. I think I downloaded 32 bit drivers instead of the correct 64 bit. Prints are wonderful.....yea!

I have used the Epson R2880 for almost two years and I am consistently pleased with the print quality. I am convinced that the three black cartridges are a big factor in the sharpness and high contrast that images produced by this printer and ink consistently include.With eight cartridges, the printer often seems to be running low on ink in at least one cartridge. I keep a stock of spare cartridges available to quickly replace an empty one.I only purchase new Epson cartridges. Others might work okay, but I do not have the time to experiment and I do not want to waste paper.The overall pront quality that I ahve achieved with the R2880 and the Epson ink meets my needs well. I am delighted that I can get consistent tow day delivery of this ink with Amazon Prime.Epson T096920 Stylus Photo R2880 Printer UltraChrome K3 Ink Cartridge (Light Light Black)

For two years, every time I worked on my R2880, using the manual roll single sheet paper feeder, it took hours to get it to print after which it would print and then the error messages would return continually--kept getting paper jam messages or wrong media messages even though the paper wasn't jammed and it had been printing on the same media as before. This may be a Mac users or Mac Adobe users issue only. I have a solution. Ignore the paper jam error. Do not press the blinking light and keep the paper as is in the printer. Just go to your computer screen, pause the printer and then restart the printing process and it will work without further problems. Do keep an eye on this, as there have been a couple of times when the paper didn't feed and the printer started printing-rare. Immediately delete the job if that happens and resend a new print job. When loading the paper, you may need to press down on the paper for it to feed into the printer properly. That has been my experience. Hope it works for you. Obviously, there's a glitch, but there is a simple solution. Despite this problem, I love the quality of this printer.Epson R2880 Large Format Photo Printer (C11CA16201)

I've used Epson printers for printing photos for several years and have been extremely pleased with the quality of color prints that come from the Epson machines. The main question I had in using the 2880 was whether the machine would be better than my Epson 2400 photo printer. I use the current versions of Lightroom or Photoshop for my printing, and I've found that if your monitor is of good quality and properly calibrated, the photos that the Epson printers produce are almost indistinguishable from what you see on the monitor. That's true up to the 13 by 19-inch images that you can print with both the 2400 and the 2800. (To get a good picture, you do need to shot with a good image. I've always used images of at least 10 megapixels, whether they come from a film scanner or a digital SLR camera.) The main claim for improvement for this machine is the presence of an additional ink cartridge, vivid magenta.I set up the printer in accordance with the quick start guide and CD containing drivers that was included. (You'll need a USB cable with a type B connector.) I spent the most set-up time just opening the little plastic bags that contain the ink cartridges and installing the cartridges. I had a choice of installing matte black or photo black inks. I installed the photo black because that's the ink suggested for the papers that I regularly use. Be warned that anytime you switch from one black to the other you use a significant amount of ink because of purging and refilling the lines. I followed the directions and the new printer was up and running in less than 15 minutes. Be sure to install the ICC profiles available on line from Epson if you expect the best print results. You can go to the site for the profiles from the install disk.I made a classic mistake in printing my first picture because the Epson Properties Panel is changed from the 2400, that is, I left Epson printer control on. Then in the Photoshop CS4 print menu, I selected "Photoshop Manages Color". The result was an over saturated print. I went back to the page setup menu and selected Mode Setup, Custom, Off. Now when I printed, my image looked like the monitor, or as close as I could get, given the inherent differences between subtractive color and additive color.I printed the exact same images on Epson Premium Glossy and Epson Premium Semi-matte on both my 2400 and 2880 printers. Most of the duplicate prints were indistinguishable to me, although there may have been just the slightest bit more snappiness to images that featured a lot of magenta, but it was certainly not anything noticeable. I showed nine people the duplicate images and most could not see any difference. Three people claimed they could see differences, but had no preferences between the prints.I also tried out the printers on a special stock I use for cards. This is a heavily textured paper, similar to matte paper. On the 2400, I set the Epson properties menu to "Premium Presentation Paper" and also the Photoshop print menu to Premium Presentation Paper. I used the photo black ink rather than the matte ink which resulted in a print that seemed to pop a little more than that using the matte black ink. The 2880 properties menu won't let you select this profile when photo black is installed. That shouldn't make a difference if you are having PS control the printing (I think) but it's my impression that the result is a sightly more subdued, though still quite lovely, picture. The difference may be due to the new profiles.The movement of the controls to the top of the 2880 printer is an inconvenience for me, since I keep the printer at almost eye level when I'm sitting down. I've also managed to turn the new printer on accidentally by brushing the top-mounted controls.The 2880 printer is also capable of printing on CDs and DVDs. I did not test this facility.The bottom line is that if you want a photo printer that prints papers up to 13 by 19 the Epson 2880 will not disappoint you. On the other hand, if you already have an Epson R2400 printer, unless your images usually have a large amount of magenta or you need to print on CDs or DVDs, you probably won't find a significant advantage in upgrading.

Love the print quality and speed of my new R2880, but finding ink cartridges is an issue. Although I live in a major metropolitan area (Tampa, Florida), I can only find one (1) local retailer (CompUSA) that sells replacement cartridges. None of the other usual outlets such as Office Depot, Staples, Best Buy or Walmart carry them. Another issue is that CompUSA only stocks one of each color at a time, so finding it in stock is another issue. I have no problem ordering ink online and have resorted to doing that on a regular basis, but occasionally run into an issue where I need to pick up a replacement immediately. This has been an issue lately, as I seem to have run into a defective batch of cartridges, that left me with no replacements. Epson was helpful and sent replacements for the defective cartridges, but they take two weeks to arrive. Like I said, the R2880 is a great printer, but make sure you can find ink for it.

You can buy ink from the Epson store too --- at similar prices. I think Amazon's stock turns over fast enough to get a FRESH cartridge giving you plenty of shelf life. If you DO have a problem, all Epson and they'll replace it - or - do it through Amazon. It's ink. It's Genuine Epson. It's expensive... but it is the good stuff. ...AND, if you are buying this type of cartridge you own a pro-level printer... so pro on!

If you think your images look good on a nice screen, wait until you print them using a decent printer like this (and good paper). Printing can be frustrating at times. I bought the printing program Qimage and it seems to work very well with the 2880. Definitely worth it. I print files in Adobe rgb but let the printer handle the color--seems to work best. The only reason I downgrade this printer is that the ink cartridges are a little too small. Get the 3000 and you should be set.

As a previous owner of an Epson R1800, I expected nothing short of extraordinary with the R2880. The R1800 met every need I had and produced quality prints with absolutely no hassles. Does the R2880 live up to the same standard?The R2880 is not a direct upgrade from R1800 (which was replaced with the R1900), so I will not compare the two in every aspect. However, as an amateur photographer I have gotten used to the prints that the R1800 produced. The R2880 is a very large printer and you should plan to have some workspace set aside for it. The footprint is about the same as the R1800. When fully expanded with the paper trays you will need almost an entire table for this printer.I have tested the printer with various print sizes (4x6, 5x7, 8x10, up to 13x19). Thus far, every print has been clean and crisp. The colors are well saturated and the tones are dead on. I enjoyed the gloss option that was on the R1800, but it's not a deal breaker. The colors were vibrant, but also impressive was the black and white prints. The detail and tones were amazing. I prefer the Epson Premium Luster Paper for most of my prints and the R2880 does an excellent job on that paper. I was truly impressed.The speed of prints was on par with similar models. I have not timed them, but it does have decent printing speed. By simple comparison, it might be a tick slower than my previous R1800. But again, I did not time them.The features that are included with the R2880 work out fairly well. I tend not to use the roll mechanism, but it is included. The CD printing tray works perfectly. I do wish they would include an ethernet connection on these models though. For this price range, I think it should be a default feature. USB works fine, but in this day and time an ethernet connection for any printer over $600 (or even $300 for that matter) should be assumed in my opinion.My complaints are fairly minor, but only time will tell if they get worse. First, is the price of the ink. The R2880 uses a smaller cartridge than my previous printers, yet, the price per cartridge remains the same. I realize the ink itself is different (and to their credit, seems to do a great job), but at my current rate this printer will likely cost me almost twice as much to operate. I'd recommend shopping around, as I've seen almost a 35% difference in cartridge price at different stores. No matter what you do, be sure to keep extra ink cartridges around. The size of these cartridges relegates their printing capacity in a major way. After my initial test prints, my ink levels were showing about 50%.My second complaint is somewhat related to ink. There are times during the start of a print job (my printer is already on, but I haven't used it in days) that it will take almost a minute to begin printing. It appears that it is going through a cleaning or preparation procedure (usually done only when you turn the printer on or off). I'm not sure if any ink is being used, but my major complaint is the time. I should not have to wait for a simple word processing document to print out.My third and final complaint is the fact that I have to swap out the photo and matte black ink cartridges. I'm not entirely sure why Epson chose to do this, but I was really disappointed. This is an expensive printer and outperforms its competition in so many ways, but they couldn't include a slot for both cartridges? Seems strange.At the end of the day, I do highly recommend the R2880. The prints are fantastic! While the printer does have some pitfalls, it does do one thing very well: create outstanding photo prints. I would hesitate recommending that a person upgrade from an Epson R1800, R1900, R2400 or similar model. It would be difficult to justify the costs. However, if you are in a market for a new large format photo printer, this should be one of your choices.

Features:1. Make prints up to 13 x 44 inches (via paper roll)2. Resolution of 5760 x 1440 dpi3. Droplets as small as 3 picoliters4. Use various media from plain, photo, presentation and fiber paper to fine art papers and boards as thick as 1.3mm5. Print directly to a supported CD/DVD6. Two (2) USB 2.0 ports to connect to multiple computers7. Available downloadable ICC profilesThoughts:The Epson R2880 Large Format Photo Printer is big and bulky as you would expect for a large format printer. First and foremost make sure you have the space on your table for it. Don't take for granted simply measuring the width of the printer, but the span from rear to front once it has been fully assembled with the paper lids down.I was excited to have a chance to come back to Epson printers after a long hiatus in using an HP photo printer. My surprise is that there seems to be a lot of compromises I wouldn't expect at this price level.- Granted the printer has been advertised to produce excellent grey balance and tonal range, but you are left having to decide which black ink printer cartridge to install. Epson has introduced 9 colour cartridges for this printer, but only 8 can be loaded at one time. The obvious side of this is that as a semi-pro photographer you should be able to know if you want to install Photo Black or Matte Black to match the paper media. But then as an artist, how about not being able to be limited to one type at any given time. This way we do not have to waste ink from the charging process.- Oh and did I mention that each ink cartridge is of relatively capacity. For a large format printer, this is something that's not logical to me on how a manufacturer can afford this mistake. Or at least give us an option to install a larger ink capacity that my USD50.00 printer is even capable of handling.- As I mentioned earlier, the printer is able to accept various paper types. Unless you're using the usual plain or photo single sheet paper, you'll have to have the manual by your side in order to successfully insert the paper or roll without creating a jam. I would love to tell the printer what type of paper I'm using at the drop-down box, but can't it do the rest from that point. For example even the simple task of printing a CD/DVD is not so simple. You're not only going to have to remove any loaded paper, but remove the single sheet guide, then close the paper support, make sure the output tray is open but don't pull out the extensions, open the front manual feed slot and slide the edge guide left. At this point you can now insert the CD/DVD tray. Now after having done that, make sure to put the settings back when going back to paper mode. I'm not asking for a fully automated process, but we all know that all printers can be offered cheap because part of the long-term expense is patronizing the ridiculously expensive ink cartridges. So it wouldn't hurt to give us a more thoughtfully designed process so we can keep this for a longer period of time and then keep on buying inks from you guys especially at this printer's price point.WOULD I BUY IT? If I were to be printing one, two or three types of paper media for all my photographic printing needs, I wouldn't mind investing in this printer especially at the offered rebate price. If you're a small business owner looking for an all-in-one photo printer that prints photos, cards and CD/DVD I would wait or purchase a second printer for that need.For the printing quality, I definitely give it five (5) stars.For the price versus the features and convenience in accessing those features, it only deserves three (3) stars.Hopefully the next revision will trump all the limitations of this current model.

I upgraded to the 2880 printer late last year and I can see the difference in the quality of prints I am getting with this printer. The ink makes it possible to print the nuances in each photo. Once your printer is set properly, you can recreate what you have on screen to the page whatever size you are printing. I am extremely pleased with the image quality I am getting with the 2880 and the inks available for this product.

I've been something of a Canon devotee for the past six years or so, and haven't really considered an Epson printer since the Stylus 740. This printer has made me re-think my loyalties.Right off the bat, the print quality and speed are incredible. Most of my prints were generated using full-res RAW images from a Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR in Apple Aperture 2.1.1, so keep that in consideration. I saw no pixelation or dithering in my prints, but your experience will vary, depending on the camera you're using and how you process your images.So far, I've run generic 8 1/2 x 11 photo paper, Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II, 4 x 6 paper, Epson 4X6 Glossy Ultra Premium Photo Paper, Epson Ultra Premium Matte 8 1/2 x 11 Inch Presentation Paper, and plain old 8 1/2 x 11 copy paper. All of the photo paper came out great, and much to my surprise, there wasn't a huge variance in quality between the different photo papers, despite changing media settings. So my conclusion here is that this isn't one of those printers where you can only get good quality by buying the manufacturer's "special optimized" paper."Why only four stars?" you ask?1) It's been said time and time again, and I'm going to pile on, too. Having to swap between Photo Black and Matte Black cartridges is ridiculous. This printer is a desk monster, and there's certainly room in the print head for one more reservoir.2) There's a lot of trial and error in getting your prints to look like your images. Using the default settings, the prints are overly vibrant, making colors look unrealistic and overprocessed. I haven't used this printer with Windows yet, but I can tell you on the Mac side, you really need to get yourself acquainted with the driver, and it wouldn't hurt to know a thing or two about color profiles. On one hand, that can be seen as a good thing, given the flexibility you're offered, but on the other hand, if you're not familiar with production concepts, this printer could infuriate you.3) The ink cartridges are fairly expensive (about $17 each) and rather small. Yes, the manual says you're going to burn through your first set of cartridges quickly... but we're talking REALLY quick here. After two 8 1/2 x 11" prints and about ten 4 x 6" prints, almost all of my cartridges were showing 50% capacity. You may want to consider buying additional cartridges up front -- which adds nearly $150 to the price tag.All things considered, this is a great choice if you're running a small business and want professional quality brochures and presentation material, or if you're a photographer and want to print out proofs. But if you're looking to save money over Snapfish / Shutterfly / etc. by printing your own pictures, you might want to explore other options.
