Upgraded photo printer
(4 out of 5) by D. Stuttard on May 26, 2009 (UK)I recently upgraded my printer from an A4 model to this one. So far I've been really pleased with it other than the alarming use of the ink which costs quite a lot to replace. I've yet to actually reach the end of a cartridge, but the utility which tracks use indicates that it is going quite fast (particularly during the charging cycle after the printer hasn't been used for a few days).
I really wish that Epson would use bigger cartridges in these higher end consumer printers and charge less per ml of ink.
In terms of set up - this was easy to do with my Mac and OS X 10.5. I use profiling tools to generate printer profiles rather than use the supplied ones (mainly to allow me to use different papers than the standard Epson ones). That said, the supplied profiles are good too if you are using the papers that they are designed for.

Epson R2880
(3 out of 5) by Mr. D. Eastley on Jun 1, 2009 (Sussex england)I purchased to replace an old Epson 1290, which was a great printer. Very easy to set up and have running quickly. Prints fast, and quality is reasonable although images are a little flat. Even with epson paper and the profiles provided more work is needed to get the quality of image I need, but I am sure I will get there

The best A3+ Printer on the market....
(5 out of 5) by Mr. Richard P. Slane on Nov 17, 2009 (Bexleyheath- Kent- U.K.)I must admit that I am extremely prejudiced!!! I love only the best on the market!!! The quality of prints produced by this Photo R2880 Printer from Epson has to be seen to be believed!!! It sits elegantly besides my Epson V750 Pro Scanner on the same work-station with my new "Apple" iMac, and the quality this combination produces from my Nikon D3x is simply amazing!!!! Apple are an extremely professional company. Their "One to One" Classes- Classic!!!! So thank you Amazon for bring "Simply the best products" into my home, work, world!!!!! The proof of my work is in my prints!!!! The Epson Stylus Photo R2880 A3+ Photo Printer is perfection..... Strangely that name is on my V750 PRO Scanner!!!!
