Epson Stylus Photo 1280

Pros: Great pictures and easy to operate
Cons: Ink cartridges are too small

The nice thing about when the owner of the company recently upgraded all of our computer equipment. She also decided that we needed new printers and I am writing this review on our new presentation printer. Up until now we have been printing all of our...

Pros: Stunningly high-quality prints, excellent resolution
Cons: Cost of paper, poor documentation

The previous reviewer who reviewed this printer provided all the basic facts so I don't need to repeat the "specs" that he listed. However, I can certainly support his enthusiasm for this printer. I have been a faithful laser printer fan until recently...

Pros: price, output quality
Cons: expensive consumables

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.

The print quality is, indeed, photo quality. While I'm certain it's possible to...

Pros: Strong color, complete fills, no streaks, wide-format
Cons: Non-archival, all colors in cartridge

Epson has a HUGE line of inkjet printers! I was stumped as to which model I should get. Some print legal size, some do 13 inches wide, 720dpi, 1440dpi, 2880dpi, border free prints, and archival ink. So many choices, so many prices.

As a...

Pros: Easy to set up, good quality prints
Cons: Doesn't ship with everything necessary to set it up, hard to find paper, bad software

I recently purchased an Epson 1280 so that I could have two photoprinters - one, my HP Photosmart 1215, remained at home. The Epson was to stay at work. That way I would never be without the ability to print amazing quality photos from my digital camera...

Pros: Incredible photo quality, accepts wide variety of papers color gamut excellent
Cons: computer chipped cartridges, can't easily use CIS system, ink relatively expensive

I've been using the Epson 1280 for about a year now. I've used the Epson 1520 and the old 750 in the past. I currently own the 1280 and the Olympus P-400 dye sublimation printer for my photography work.

The 1280 produces incredible photos with...

Pros: Beautiful photo quality.
Cons: Nozzle are always clogged. Consumes lots of ink. Only one cartridge for all colors.

I bought this printer back in May of 2002 so I have had a lot of time to try it out. I paid $500 for this printer. Setup : Setup was easy with the required instructions. I was up and going relatively quick. Bundled Software: The bundled ...

Pros: Excellent photo quality prints, quiet, reasonably fast, borderless printing to 14" width
Cons: carts ... small,expensive,chipped. Show no ink with ink remaining. Head clogs with non-Epson inks

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...

Pros: Great photo quality, no paper jams
Cons: cleaning heads a lot, not EPS compatible, need RIP software to print EPS

I've had this printer for close to two years (in March). I'm a Graphic Designer and have had experience with numerous types of printers over the years.

If your a Mac user, you'll notice right away that you won't be able to print an EPS file...

Pros: Excellent print quality and resonable speed
Cons: Big beast, expensive feeding and clogs easily

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 ...

Pros: Superb Print Quality, does good on CAD work as well
Cons: Heads require frequent cleaning, ink used up rapidly. Machine is not for beginners

Being an under-employed Aerospace Engineer in a dying industry, I purchased the Epson 1280 in late 2001 after extensively checking out its competition. I knew in advance that more than likely, print head clogging would be a problem. In this price range,...

Pros: Excellent Photo Quality, Pictures are very durable as long as Epson inks are used
Cons: Epson greed: NO printing with low ink, nor with refilled cartridges. Quirky software. Nozzles clog

I work with PhotoShop, and am also finishing several degrees at university. Thus I've printed a hundreds of digital pictures with this printer, and perhaps a couple thousand pages of reports. Although this printer outputs excellent quality photos and ...

Pros: GREAT PHOTO QUALITY!!! six color inks, ALL SOFTWARE WORKS ON MAC OS X
Cons: can't change seperate ink tanks, ink goes quick

I have had the Epson 1280 for about two weeks now. I can’t believe the quality that comes out of this printer!! The prints that I have made (not many) have turned out absoulutely gorgeous. This printer can print pictures that are 13” wide and...

Pros: Absolutely Outstanding Photo Printing Results. Easy to Use.
Cons: A Little Pricey For Many.

My wife bought me this printer for Christmas 2001 and I decided to write my first opinion here because of what this product delivers. The results are absolutely outstanding. In my case, I am using a Canon Powershot G2 digital camera and Mac G4. What...

Pros: Feature-rich, highest quality photo prints, easy to setup
Cons: Parallel port support questionable, pricey

I researched wide-format printers for some time, and finally settled on this gem. The main reason I came to this conclusion was I compared it side-by-side with other wide-formats in its class, and the color photo output of the Epson was by far the best....
