Отзывы о Мфу Epson L1800

I had an Epson 2200. I loved it. I upgraded to this. I hate it in every way.You have to swap out the ink from matte to glossy if you change paper types. It insists you do. There is no way around it (There was on the 2200). This means that every time I print on a DVD, I have to switch the ink. To do so, the printer primes itself and literally takes 7-10% of the ink to do it. Then to switch it back there goes another 7%. I have gone through so much ink I can hardly stand to look at it.Sorry Epson, but the jig is up. This swapping ink system is a scam.Just for kicks, here is the final straw that triggered this review:I had just printed a glossy b&W print. Then I needed to print a CD so I switched out the photo-black to the matte-black like a little monkey. As the printer primed the inks, it literally ran itself out the last 10% of both magenta and light cyan. Now I can't print. I have to go to the store and buy more colored ink. Of course this is NUTS since I was only doing black and white prints.Yuck.

This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to write a review and postit online. I just received my Epson R2880 and I cannot say enough goodthings about it.The set up was a breeze! I followed the directions in the quick startguide, installed the drivers from the CD enclosed with the printer and wentto Epson's site to get the latest ICC profiles.Within thirty minutes I had my first print in hand. WOW! Simplyoutstanding! Epson?s claim that the R2880 provides "Exhibition QualityPrints" is spot on in my book.The funny thing is, I have a brand new color printer, and the first print Imade was black and white. It brought me back to being a kid in thedarkroom, when I made my first black and white print. (The ones that havehad the experience of seeing a print come to life in developer for the firsttime, know what I?m talking about). Well, it was just like that experiencewith my new Epson R2880.The bad thing about that, is now I want to run out and buy a scanner for allthose black and white negatives that I have tucked away in the archive. Mostlikely an Epson V750.The other thing I like about this printer is the ability to use the rollpaper attachment that came in the box with the printer. I installed it justafter pulling the printer out of the box. Now, I can print either a 13" x44" or 8.5" x 44" for either panoramic or gang printing. In addition, youhave the option to print 13" x 19" on 1.3mm thick media and Canvas. Icannot wait to play with that.What about color prints? Thanks for asking.The palette of colors seems to be real broad. The skin tones seem to bespot on and the bright colorful images simply popped! Hey, after all youhave 8 cartridges of Epson?s UltraChrome K3 ink going to that media.That brings me to the ink issue you might have read about in other reviews.All I can say is you get what you pay for! The Epson R2880 is worth it forthe results you will have for a lifetime.The foot print is not small, but you sure do get a lot packed in to its24.3" (W) x 31.4" (D) x 16.3" (H) size.I am hooked on this Epson R2880 printer. So much so, I signed up for anupcoming Epson Print Academy to get that much more out of my Epson R2880.Just go get one and you will see what I mean.Enjoy the prints of a lifetime!

I ordered the 2880 when my Epson 1800 started sending out "End of Life" messages. (The "End of Life" messages meant I needed new ink pads, which I had installed for under $100-and the 1800 is like new again. I now use it just for experimental photography on non-photography and hand cast paper that I apply digital ground to).I re-printed a couple images that I had already printed on my 1800, and noticed an improved red, and all over saturation improvement. I'm an artist who also does photography, experimental printing, and who uses photo-references for hyper-realist work. I need color accuracy, and got it instantly by using the printer's optional Adobe RGB setting with Photoshop. This machine plus a kick ass Canon SLR camera are able to do anything I demand. I've only had the machine for less than a month, and am pleased. I just need to find out if anyone locally stocks the ink jet cartriges. I know I can order them from Epson direct/no shipping charge, though.

Good Luck to everyone foolish enough to purchase an EPSON printer product.Support at best is dismal. Problems and build is frustrating and dismal at best.Why can't Epson finally get it? My Epson printers including the 2200 were nothing but a complete waste of money!!As of this date and on, I will avoid Epson printers with resolve!!!

After the ease of delivery and set-up and the much anticipated use of this "amazing" professional photo printer my husband and I were terribly disappointed. We have a $100 canon printer that prints no better than this printer. The quality was not at all what we had hoped with the price of this printer. Yes, it can print poster size and yes it can print on cds...all very cool, but the foundational point---quality of printing pictures---was absent. The prints, no matter the size, were flat and obviously printed from a home computer. I even purchased high quality printing paper.It wasn't fast, if that's important to you and it's just a giant printer in our house now we will probably rarely use. Again, the fact that it's versatile in size printing is neat, but I would be using it mainly for 4x6-8x10 printing and printing on cds.

ink jets have always been a cash cow for printer companiesthey often seem specifically designed to waste high priced ink cartridgesthis kind of engineering we do not need, but is what we get here, big timeearly in the era, about twenty years ago, third party companies would refill ink cartridges for prices under manufacturer's prices. Some religious communities kept afloat with this scheme.Epson has defeated this third party service now with this useless tank, which recognizes when its name brand cartridge is not in place. In fact it is so ethnically pure it sometimes refuses, inexplicably and without appeal even to customer service, to accept its own cartridges fresh out of the boxand then, when it does accept a set of its own high priced ink cartridges, it inexplicalby and without recourse wastes all of that ink on some obsessive-compulsive ink jet cleaning.this ink jet printer may look cute and may now and then put out a product, just often enough to torment you and keep you on the hook, but faggedaboudid, it ain't worth it, when you could be passing out 4x6's from your Canon SELPHY CP770 Compact Photo Printer (3058B001) in no time at all and to the delight of allbut we wouldn't want to make anyone happy with our photos, would we?forget the Epson unless you have endless patience and an endless account for ink cartridges. It's like getting a top supermodel as trophy wife, and then realizing the high maintenance.It's like getting the keys to a super Hummer and then charged all you got for a pint of fuel. over and over again.And then those large format photo sheets jam. Forget it. Have fun with your art instead of sacrficially appeasing an implacable and vengeful printer god. The purpose of art is peace, not feeding the endless Epson maw.but I do love mine and use it all of the time. great photo printeruse it for exhibitions etc.

Another great printer from Epson. ever since their first true photo printers came out around 2002, they have been industry leaders - particularly for the "prosumer" market (forgive me, I hate portmanteaus like that, but it fits). This printer is no exception and handles media from CDs up to 13x19" sheets. The color reproduction is pretty flawless and the ink use seems to be reasonable.Okay, now my wish list: First, Epson does not produce enhanced matte paper in a 13" roll, but the printer can handle roll paper(?!) what's up with this? The Enhanced Matte (now under the cumbersome moniker of "Ultra Premium Presentation Paper Matte") is their best stock for image reproduction. Second, and this is understandable, they do not make it easy to use second party ICC profiles thus expanding your range of usable paper stock. For a fine art photographic printer, this becomes very limiting. Finally, their printing software for printable CDs is a little basic. As a result you get little color control and so the quality (and no one should expect this really) isn't as good as on their paper. I should say, however, that it is adequate and I love this feature. I will be upgrading to a 7880 this fall and will miss that capacity.

The Epson Stylus R2880 produces excellent prints. The archival quality is important to me, and the colors are brilliant. Most prints came out virtually the same as my monitor; every so often I have to tweak a file. I made no adjustments to get perfect black and white prints with no color casts; rich blacks and a nice tonal range. It prints beautiful portraits.If this will be your home computer, make sure you have a decent-sized place to set it up. It's very sleek looking and closes up to keep dust out. It's about 2 ft wide, but is compact for a printer that produces up to 13" x 19" prints.The set up was easy, and it's easy to use. Make sure you read all of the directions. It's sensitive to each kind of paper and where it's loaded. I'm working on Windows Vista. I just checked for the latest drivers. Also, it doesn't come with a printer cable, so purchase one separately if you don't have an extra.I use the printer for color proofing book and poster designs and making high-quality prints. To get the promise of quality, only Epson products should be used which means no bargain shopping. I like the Ultra Premium Photo Luster paper.Also the difference in using the quality versus max quality print settings is hardly noticeable if you want to save ink. However, I will always use max quality for my final product. I've only printed on 8 ? x 11 so far, but I'm looking forward to printing on roll and larger paper. I can't wait to try out some of the features such as printing images on my DVDs. It will make my home video productions look more professional to send to family.I would definitely recommend this printer to any serious amateur or professional dealing with images.Epson R2880 Large Format Photo Printer (C11CA16201)

Prints look just like they came from my professional lab on lustre and glossy papers. Love.Please note other reviews inappropriately relate to the 3rd party provider not the ink itself. This ink is fabulous as works just as described by Epson.

Re: Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Printer.The Epson Stylus Photo R2880 printer is a sweet machine. From start up to printing the "quick start" guide was clear and concise with a step by step approach that did not leave this novice confused. Frankly, what has kept me from printing photos in the past has been a fear of technical language beyond my vocabulary. But the instructions given here left nothing to chance or misunderstanding. Loading the ink, the paper, connecting to my MacBook Pro and printing the first photos was easy and did not take a lot of time. From box to print took about 45 minutes and that was after checking everything twice.So far, color family photos, a couple of scenics and several black and white photos have gone through the machine with fantastic results. The color on the print very well matches what I see on the screen. And black and white photos come out even better. They are fantastic. After showing my wife the same photo in color and black and white, she preferred the black and white, but it was a hard choice for her to make.I am only beginning to explore the capabilities of this printer and I know that in the hands of someone more experienced this machine would put out awesome photographs. I would highly recommend the Epson Stylus R2880 to anyone who wishes to have more control over their printing. Its ease of use and quality photos will spoil even the most critical user.

Long story short, the quality of this printer is simply stunning. (Am giving it four stars because the quality is literally amazing.)However, I wanted to use Moab canvas, and found out later the ICC profiles were not available for the R1900. I moved on to Epson paper with the Epson profiles and viola! perfect images.The buttons are less than intuitive, and the you have to be careful to cut rolls of paper perfectly straight or else canvas will not load. (Frustrating.) The thing sucks ink like crazy, but I suppose I print on it more than the normal person too. I use the printer for jobs where I need a print immediately. It costs more than my pro lab, but the quality is exceptional.All that said, would I buy the printer and go through all that again? Yes. The images are KILLER.

In my opinion, a large format printer is mostly for the large-format printing photographer who doesn't contract out for printing services. With all the printing services available, its hard to justify the cost of this printer. However, it can produce stunning photos of large sizes. It serves it purpose well, but its an expensive printer compounded by the costs of catridge replacment.Epson is touting its new Vivid Magenta and Vivid Light Magenta inks, which look to satisfy those who want heavily saturated prints. I like to oversaturate in Aperture for the extra punch, so this works for me. The dual-black (matte and photo) support is nice (but requires swapping) and this printer can print directly to CDs or DVDs.As always, ink is a major cost here. The cartridges are small for printing such a large format. Plus there seem to be alot of reports on the web about running out of ink really fast. The culprit seems to be because owners are leaving the printer on for exteneded periods of time. I had this problem on my Artisan 800, whose catridges lasted only about two weeks with minimal printing. I don't leave this one on.This printer produces stunning prints, but you must understand the costs (both up front and recurring) before you make a decision.

I bought this printer mainly because of additional feature of the CD/DVD direct printing, as my Epson R2400 does not have this capability. After completion of installation of the software, ink, etc., the printer went into what seemed like an extended cleaning mode. After printing one 7x5 image, the printed showed the photo black ink approximately one-quarter left. The rest of the ink levels had dropped to almost one-half level. Two days later, I turned on the printer and the printer seemed to kick into another cleaning cycle, and an extended one at that! After the printer was in the cleaning cycle for approximately four minutes, I noticed the printer icon bouncing in the dock at the bottom of the computer screen. When I opened the software, it showed me that the photo black ink was completely consumed and the printer wanted it replaced. I replaced the photo black ink and after approximately two more minutes of printer moving the head left and right, I was able to print. After printing a grand total of eight 7x5 images, the rest of the inks were totally out! At this point, I made arrangements to have the printer replaced. Well, I got the new printer and unfortunately, it has behaved the same as the first one. The only difference being that all of the inks went down almost even as opposed to the photo black ink going down first. After a total of two print sessions, all of the inks were consumed by the printer. For the whole set of inks, I managed to print ONLY TWO 2.5 inch x 1.4 inch size images! Actually, I had to replace the light light black ink along the way. I searched the internet and found no complaints with this device. I have no idea what is going on. All I can say is that this is not the case of user error as I have been using inkjet printers for a while (Canon S800, Epson 1270, Epson 2200, and Epson 2400).

Fantastic quality for my demanding needs as a graphic designer and artist. I could not be happier with the print quality.The only issue with the 2880 is the same that plagued the 2200 it replaced. Feeding a stack of Epson Double Sided Matted Paper (S041568) always causes alignment problems, whether it is five or fifty sheets. I produce a double sided catalog and I have to feed each sheet individually or the pages will not line up front and back.Otherwise a wonderful purchase!

Do not buy direct from Epson. I bought the Epson R1900 for $[...] with a $[...] rebate. Two months passed, three months, four months... Finally I sent them a letter, "Where is my rebate?""You forgot to put the serial number in your application. But if you do it now and send the materials to us within 30 days, you'll get the rebate."I did that. Result: another letter."We cannot give you a rebate at this time. Refer to the terms and conditions on the mail-in form."20-20 hindsight: Why did they wait so long to warn me about the lack of the serial number on the application? To let the rebate period expire? You said it, I didn't.I find it amazing that a company of this size would antagonize its own customers and risk bad word of mouth, for the sake of $[...]. But that is what happened.Do not buy direct from Epson.

This product has been really disappointing. We have had it for over a year, and at the beginning it was great. Photos looked really nice, colors were bright, etc. But after just a few photos, it started to print really streaky pictures...so you run the auto headcleaning utility and waste a quarter of the ink just to clean the printheads. Then it works for a few more pictures and becomes streaky again. Additionally, if you are just printing something that isn't a photo, only the expensive paper will load. It gives an error message for any other thin stock paper. So basically, if you spend a lot of money on paper and ink, you will get nice photos some of the time, but you will end up wasting half of the expensive ink cleaning the printheads. I would not recommend that anyone buy this printer.

I have owned this printer for only a few days. In that time I have printed over 200 prints. I have printed both 8.5 by 11 and 13 by 19 inch prints without any difficulty. I have also replaced the ink cartridges without any problem. I have not had any contact with epson's tech support because I have not had any problems.Now for the printer itself. The build quality is solid. Setup was simple and I was printing prints within a few minutes of connecting the printer to my mac.I am using this printer in conjunction with a macintosh computer and photoshop elements. I tried other programs (iphoto) but elements gave me the truest reproduction of what I saw on my screen. This printer prints color accurately but it prints slightly darker than what you see on your screen. In other words the printer provides an accurate but dark copy of what you see on your screen when you print. The difference is slight but noticeable. Black and White printing is accurate and there is no color cast.The only caveat that I can offer is that the printer drinks ink. I have been printing a lot at best quality and I have gone through a number of ink cartridges. Vivid light magenta in particular disappears quickly. I am very happy with this printer after a few days of extensive use. If a problem crops up after a longer period of time I will amend my review. Otherwise I am marking this printer as a five star product and giving a wholehearted buy recommendation

I have had my printer for over 2 years, and I think I have cleaned the heads only once or twice. If you use the printer on a regular basis, not even that often, maybe once a month, you should never have a problem. The only legitimate reports I have heard of clogged heads are if you use cheap ink. But, why buy a $500 printer and use cheap ink? I have printed on almost every sized paper, including rolls and have always got GREAT prints.

We received the printer in good order. When it was time to print the trouble started. I bought Epson brand paper with the printer. I put the paper in the single paper feed slot and it wouldn't work. I called Technical Support not 15 minutes after I opened the box. We went through the process several times with the same result. It wouldn't feed through the single sheet feeder. He finally suggested I use the multiple sheet feeder and it worked. The quality of print is excellent. If not for the feed problem I would give this review 5 stars.

I am an artist who creates giclee prints of my paintings, and used an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 for six years. It was a reliable printer which gave me high quality prints. The Epson Stylus Photo 2200 worked great from day one, and I never had to speak with an Epson tech.I purchased the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 as a replacement printer. It would not print 13" x 19" paper. I kept getting paper jams and error messages stating I was using the wrong media for the paper tray. I spent hours on the phone with Epson techs, who finally told me the printer had a defective paper sensor.I returned the first Epson Stylus Photo R2880 and purchased a second printer. The second Epson Stylus Photo R2880 not only had the same problems, but it also gave me communication errors. I spent another hour on the phone with an Epson tech who refused to call me back as my calling card ran out of minutes.In my opinion Epson has inadequate service techs, poor customer service, and a poor quality product in the Epson Stylus Photo R2880. I believe this printer was never tested in a rush to get it to market. The only reason it even deserves one star is because it prints 8.5" x 11" sheets. Because my need is for a printer that prints 13" x 19" sheets, I cannot recommend this printer.PS. Does anybody know where I can get a refurbished Epson Stylus Photo 2200?

I've only had this printer set up for a few weeks, however out of thebox- this printer rocks. This is the 4th Epson printer I've owned andthe first thing that I noticed was how FAST this printer is and howrich the colors are. This you can see immediately. I pulledportfolio prints from files in my archive that had been printed onvarious printers (Epson R200, 9500, and Canon ip4300). At firstglance, all the prints created on the 2880 looked sharper, cleaner,and more color brilliant. Though I don't print B&W for clients andonly onoccasion for myself, I was amazed how nice the tonality of the B&Wwas. All my printing with the 2880 was done on Epson PremiumLuster. I like this paper. I haven't found any downsides to thisprinter and paper combination. Truly a great combo.

Just made my first few prints with the Epson 2880 - the sharpness and color saturation is quite amazing. I have been printing with Epson printers for better than twelve years and this printer is the fastest, sharpest and richest color printer I have seen.Printing in 16 bit color mode the Epson profiles for Premium Lustre paper is remarkably accurate - no need for a custom calibrator to create a specific profile. The printer's sharpness is what really makes this printer a bargain. For prints up to 13 x 19 you can make photographic prints that will rival the best service bureau.In Black and White Advanced mode the printer's ability to render an accurate and extremely smooth tonality will make this a wonderful printer for those who still prefer the classical esthetic of B&W.

I bought the Epson R2880 printer two months ago and have changed cartridges successfully. My replacement cartridges came directly from Epson's on-line store. Yesterday I changed a cartridge and received an error message, "Ink cartridges cannot be recognized".I tried to fix the problem by turning the printer off and on. I then tried to joggle the cartridge. Failing to do any good, I made a web search on the error message + Epson and was amazed to find that this has been a problem with Epson printers for years. To date, neither the Epson site or the general web lists a decent fix. Many posts refer to the Epson help desk "advice" that off-brand cartridges are the issue, and that genuine Epson cartridges are the fix. I used only Epson cartridges from the Epson on-line store. Unfortunately, Epson and the web have no other suggestions to get my printer going again. It appears that Epson is blaming everyone but themselves for the problem. Maybe the bulk of the problems are associated with off-brand cartridges, but that is no excuse for not investigating the problems that the rest of us are having and providing us with a fix.It is amazing to me that a multi-year Epson problem remains unfixed on this newly released printer.

I have been a professional photographer for little over a year now. My first experience into the world of inkjet printing involved the Epson 2200. It was an overall good experience but it left me always wanting more out of the quality of my black and whites and the efficiency of my printing.So far, I have been very pleased with the R2880. My b/w photos have drastically increased in image quality and tonal range (grey ink) and the speed of the printing is amazing.(less than a minute for a 5x7) I was a little skeptical of the cd/dvd printing capabilities and how much of a process it would entail. It's actually very painless with the included software I feel much better about the presentation of my discs. I'm looking forward to experimenting with different papers and analyzing how much more efficient this inkjet can be.
