Printerville reviews Epson’s Stylus Photo R2880
Over on our sister site Printerville, Rick LePage has posted his exhaustive review of Epson’s Stylus Photo R2880 inkjet printer. The $800 R2880 is the successor to the Stylus Photo R2400, providing 9 archival inks, support for papers up to 13″ in width, and excellent overall performance. With respect to print quality, the R2880 is a stunner, producing excellent color and black-and-white prints on a variety of matte and photo paper types. However, it does have a few usability issues that prevent it from being the perfect sub-$1,000 photo printer, as Rick details.
The review also includes some new methodologies for measuring ink cartridge life, something we’ve been talking about and working on through the better part of this year. Ink efficiency is a hot topic, and, with so many high-quality, large-format inkjets out on the market, it is one more metric you can use when searching for a printer.
