This week, Epson announced the successor to its Stylus Photo R2400 large-format pigment ink printer, the Stylus Photo R2880. As our sister site Printerville notes:

The $800 printer, slated to ship in June, is a B-size (13″) inkjet that uses pigment-based inks, including two light-density black inks designed to produce optimal black-and-white prints on all types of media. And, while the R2880′s pedigree shows a clear link to the R2400, the new model takes advantage of Epson’s recent technology advancements from both the higher-end Stylus Professional printer line and the recently released Stylus Photo R1900.

In addition to some initial impressions relating to image quality and ink efficiency, Printerville also posted R2880 speed test results , compared with its predecessor and its immediate competition, HP’s Photosmart Pro B9180, and Canon’s Pixma Pro9500.
