Epson Stylus Photo R285

Epson claims some outrageous print speeds for its R285. Is there any chance that these are close to reality?

Epson Stylus Photo R285 review

Cheap to buy but expensive to run, does this Epson justify its costs?

Good colour range ; Cheap to buy

Expensive to run ; Poor document printing

The Epson R285 is expensive to run and can't turn its hand to document printing as well as photo output. Outright photo quality is also second-best.

Epson - Stylus Photo R285

There was a phase when printers started appearing in various subtle shades of iPod cream, but fortunately that highly impractical colour now seems to be out of fashion. Epson's latest low-end photo printer has sensibly opted ...

A fairly stylish, lightweight, relatively uncomplicated and cheap photo printer that produces very favourable quality output but at unimpressive speeds. It's good, but doesn't quite do enough to make it stand out from the herd.
