Pros: nice prints, easy to set up
Cons: costly to run, printhead died 1 month after warranty
The Bottom Line: I think my final recommendation is a no brainer... avoid this brand product

| davegor's Full Review: Epson Stylus Photo 1280 |
I purchased my 1280 about a year and a half ago. As a graphic designer, i was impressed with the prints from the epson 3000 at my office and the durability of this machine
when i got it home I found it easy to set up, and the prints quite nice, but a bit slow.. but i could live with it. the first thing that got to me was that I hated being forced to use the epson smartchip cartridges... way overpriced for the number of graphic rich prints I could get from one set of cartridges.
Then about a month ago, my prints started getting these random magenta hairline bands across the print. which have gotten worse with time... Multiple head cleanings (as many as 8 in a row) did not help, and then i started getting black ink blotches on the prints as well.
Frustrated, I called epson eventually getting through, and discovered that I should send it in for a look as "We have never heard of such a thing" well, it turns out the print head needs to be replaced as long as im willing to shell out another $200 plus! WHAT A RIP OFF. I will never buy an epson product again.. I feel burned
