Pros: Excellent print quality and resonable speed
Cons: Big beast, expensive feeding and clogs easily
Summary: This printer is one of Epson's best printer for the home digital darkroom. However, there are a few caveats that I will get to in a minute. The printer is well made and the technical specs are detailed in other reviews. Suffice to say that the Epson 12 ... read more

Cons: Heads require frequent cleaning, ink used up rapidly. Machine is not for beginners

Pros: price, output quality
Cons: expensive consumables
Summary: With the recent $100 rebate there's been a lot of renewed interest in this printer, despite the fact that it's "over a year old" by now. And for good reason.

Cons: carts ... small,expensive,chipped. Show no ink with ink remaining. Head clogs with non-Epson inks
Summary: I've had my 1280 for about a year and a half. I replaced an Epson photo 700 with it. The 700 gave me excellent prints, but it took me a awhile to make it work. When I first rec'd my 1280, results from the 700 were equal (or better) than the 1280, but I ... read more

Cons: Parallel port support questionable, pricey
