Epson Stylus Photo R280 InkJet Printer

What a great printer, not only does it print studio quality photos but it also prints directly on cds and dvds. And with the 6 seperate ink cartridges, you only replace the color you are out of, no wasted ink just because one color is empty. And as far as document printing, well this printer is very fast. It comes with a great photo software set and full ink sets. With most printers you get what they call starter inks that are only half full or less, these inks are full just like the replacement inks. And they offer the 77 inks that seem to last 30-40% longer than the standard 78 inks. And as far as support, Epson has a great support staff. I called them with some questions about the many features of this printer and those guys know their stuff. And this printer is full of extra options and many ways to fine tune whatever you are printing. Oh and did I mention the direct disc prints look just as good if not better than the retail prints and you can print anything you want on them, pictures text ect. That way my disc are always personal and not like anyone elses. Also you can buy ink directly from the Epson web site at a great price and if you order 3 or more ink cartridges you get free shipping and in most states no tax. I am so glad I bought this Epson printer and not any of the other brands I was looking at. I am sold on Epson, I will never buy another brand again. They also offer an all in one printer in this line and I am buying one of them too very soon for my main computer. And the drivers are already out for the Vista operating system. I have Vista on my notebook and XP on my PC and it work flawlessly on both. Just load the boxed software for XP or download the Full drivers from the website for Vista. Thanks to Epson I now have the best printer I have ever owned and I have owned many printers. And as per Epson specs. the photos last 98 years framed or 200 years in a photo album. One fine machine no doubt, I would recomend Epson to anyone that asked. Get one for yourself, I am sure you will love it.
