The other thing that I don't like is that it does not use a true black for grey scale pictures. It would be much cheaper going to Wal-Mart.įurther, what is VERY annoying is that when it decides that one of the colors has run out, and you still have black ink, it will NOT allow you to print a document with black ink only. If you are planning to use this to print 4圆 photos, using genuine Epson ink, then it will cost y ou far more in ink cartridges. It forces you to change to a new cartridge. Epson make their money from ink, so they put a chip on the ink cartridge that decides when you have run out of ink, whether you have actually run out or not. I usually plug in a continuous ink supply system once the originals run out, but that it messy and the jets then tend to clog if not used regularly. The one I got is a bit temperamental, but the quality is very good.
The colors are accurate, images crisp and clear, and if kept out of daylight, will last for many years in an album. I love Epson stylus printers for great photo quality prints.
Epson stylus photo r280 printer review full#
Read full reviewĪpart from the HIGH ink cost. Also, support is clueless to the problem. Epson today announced its newest line of Ultra Hi-Definition Photo Printers - the Epson Stylus Photo R280, RX595 and RX680. A shame some nerd programmers had to screw it up. By the w ay, the Epson R280 is an excellent product. Very unhappy with Epson and will probably purchase Cannon printers for my PVC printing needs. And to top it off, the ink that came with the printer had leaked making the ink useless. So now I’ve spent $300.00 for a printer I didn’t need. It did the same exact thing my old R280 did.
Finally purchased a new R280 and guess what. I tried everything, reinstalled software, replaced ink, new PVC tray but nothing.
This powerful performer delivers amazing results, from family photos to web pages and more. Print brilliant, 4' x 6' photos in as fast as 11 seconds or text documents at speeds up to 38 ppm.
Epson stylus photo r280 printer review install#
The only reason I purchased a new R280 is because I downloaded R280 install software and my old printer flashed all three lights and would not print on the PVC tray. Epson Stylus Photo R280 Ultra Hi-Definition photo printer is the fast, easy way to achieve extraordinary results. Fortunately I had an old computer with software I had installed for my old R280 which allowed me to print using PVC tray. Recent software updates have made it useless for printing PVC media.
