Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Review

Back in 2005 Epson brought out a solid 13x19 inch printer using its new UltraChrome K3 inkset. This model, the Stylus Photo R2400, was a major improvement over the 2200/2100 it replaced, thanks to additional grey inks and a new Advanced Black &...

Epson Stylus Photo R2880 review

The good, the bad and the ugly for a few dollars more

Excellent quality for black-and-white output, and colour is convincing, too

Slightly cool skin tones

Outclassed by the new R3000, the R2880 now looks a bit of a has-been.

Epson Stylus Photo R2880 review

The Epson Stylus Photo R2880 also has a clear edge in speed. Our test print of colour patches was output in a little over 80 seconds on the R2880 - that's half the time that some similar printers take to output the same file on the same settings on the...

Overall, the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 is a superb photo printer - if your budget can stretch to it.
