4 out of 5 stars So far a definite improvement...   November 20, 2008

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.

Received this printer from my employer as a "thank you gift." Unlike others reviewing the R2880, I have had no issues with the printer, and was making great prints immediately after unpacking and easy set-up. Ink usage at the highest quality setting seems normal (others have called it an ink hog, but I'm just not experiencing that). Looks like a few have had a bad experience, but not me. Maybe some quality control issues have been addressed?

Epson R2880 Large Format Photo Printer (C11CA16201)
I bought the Epson R2880 inkjet printer about three months ago and I've printed on several types of top quality Epson paper and on Epson canvas almost every day. The R2880 has performed magnificiently. I sell my photos at Art Fairs. The vibrance is superb in color; black and white is very impressive. You have to change the main black cartridge from photo black to matte black depending on the paper you are using. Glossy paper requires PHOTO BLACK, and matte paper and canvas requires MATTE BLACK. This is nuisance but I arrange to do all one type or another for as long as I can before changing. In general I am delighted with the machine.

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
