    5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate prints at last !, 31 Jul 2008
    By Mr. Roy Foreman (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I purchased Epson's R2880 to replace my trusty Epson 1270 photo printer which, after 9 years producing excellent prints finally gave up the ghost. I was keen to see what improvements had been made in 9 years of development.

    The printer is quite large but easy to assemble, and the software installation proceeded with no problems. Reviews say that the new printer interface is an improvement on the old one. I dissagree with this. It's still good, but not an improvement.

    So what were the first prints like ? A bit dissapointing - too washed out with weak colours. So I reduced the brightness and increased the contrast in the printer preferences and the results were then very good indeed. In fact the colours matched exactly those on the monitor screen, something I have never been able to achieve before.

    Although the R2880 has higher resolution than the 1270, this did not show in the prints. What did show was the printing speed - just over 2 minutes to do an A4.

    The pigment inks do not soak into the paper like dye inks do, but sit on the surface, so the resulting prints are not as glossy but still very good. An they should last a lifetime.

    Would I reccommend this printer. You bet. The results really are very good indeed and the printer feels well made. I have printed many thousands of images over the years on several different printers, and the R2880 gives better results by far. Enough said.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good quality prints but poor documentation and expensive ink, 29 Dec 2008
    By Stpehen K. Knibbs (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I bought this to replace an R800 that was showing banding on photos and which the local Epson service agent was unable to fix.
    It was easy enough to set up and the prints look great. I used genuine Epson ink and premium glossy photo paper with Photoshop colour management (the software installation automatically added the R2880 colour profiles to the Photoshop print menu). Blacks are particularly good - the R800 blacks had a warm colour cast. Bright colours are possibly slightly better in the R800 but there's not much in it. However, the R800 was very poor at printing dark greens.
    Speed is very slow on max quality setting but on standard setting much faster and I couldn't see any difference in quality - even under a magnifying glass.
    However, I was very disappointed when, after 3 days, I did a nozzle-check. The printer went into an extended cleaning cycle and then showed that one of the nozzles was blocked. I did another nozzle check and again it did a cleaning cycle before printing the nozzle check pattern. This appeared to use around £12 worth of ink, although it's difficult to tell as the ink-level window doesn't give a very accurate display - earlier versions of the printer status monitor at least had graduation marks against the displayed ink levels.
    There is no printed manual supplied and the electronic manual doesn't mention this behaviour. I've now seen similar complaints in the US Amazon web site.
    Next time I did some printing the problem didn't happen and the nozzle check was fine, so maybe this is just a teething problem.
    So overall, I am happy with it but a bit nervous of the apparently random cleaning cycles and the amount of ink that gets used as a result - the R800 would check the nozzles and then give the option of nozzle-cleaning or not. Especially disappointing as Epson are supposed to have improved the nozzle and ink technology so why so many cleaning cycles? Then again, if it makes the printer last longer than my R800, perhaps it is worth it.
    Summary:
    Very good colours
    Excellent blacks and greys
    Good speed on standard quality setting
    Max quality setting appears to be no better than standard setting
    Worrying, unpredictable and expensive automatic nozzle cleaning (not described in the manual)
    No printed manual.
    Although I have not used Epson's support service for this printer, experience with previous printers have left me unsatisfied.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I'm sure it will be brilliant when I learn to use it..., 8 Feb 2009
    By E. J. Hankin "lubiloo2" (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I ummed and aaahhhed about this for a long while; it is an expensive piece of equipment and I was very uncertain that my shots were going to merit such a supreme printer. However, if like me, you are not fully confident and competent in the printer settings, gamma alchemy and strange inner settings, then you will need to be prepared to spend a lot on lost prints, incorrect settings, disappointments and 'duffs'. The on-line user manual is aimed at those who know what they're doing - and I didn't. In my humble opinion, there's nothing like having a printed manual that you can flick through and read in depth, so you may be disappointed that this is not included. However, if you persevere, you will achieve some truly astonishing prints with fantastic colour depth and tonal range. I've printed successfully at A3+ from a 10MP D-SLR Olympus E-510 Digital SLR Camera (ED 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 & ED 40-150mm 1:4.0-5.6)and am delighted with the clear, pin-sharp and vibrant results. I've not attempted Black&White prints yet, but on its colour performance, I'm quite confident that the results will be stunning (if my shots are up to it.) I'm afraid I've no techno-babble to help inform your decision on this printer, just my opinion that it will delight you when you've gained the competence and knowledge to get the best out of it. I'm far from that stage, but I'm already thrilled with what it pushes out. There is nothing to touch the thrill of watching your print emerging from the printer looking so very much better than ever it did on the computer. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this printer. My choice of giving it 4 rather than 5 stars is purley that it is not idiot-proof, which would have been just perfect for me!
