This printer is very nice. A very good scanning and copying function, with a very thorough set-up process. The printer is very quick and efficient with good ease of use with just the press of a button. The printer also has a fax function but I have never bothered to set that up. The only problem I do have with it though is that it uses quite a bit of ink, and the ink isn't cheap. For the price it is at now is very reasonable; it is of very good build, and looks expensive. The unit itself though is quite large and takes up a bit of room. It does also need a USB cable but they are a few pounds also on amazon!

I purchased Epson's R2880 to replace my trusty Epson 1270 photo printer which, after 9 years producing excellent prints finally gave up the ghost. I was keen to see what improvements had been made in 9 years of development.
The printer is quite large but easy to assemble, and the software installation proceeded with no problems. Reviews say that the new printer interface is an improvement on the old one. I dissagree with this. It's still good, but not an improvement.
So what were the first prints like ? A bit dissapointing - too washed out with weak colours. So I reduced the brightness and increased the contrast in the printer preferences and the results were then very good indeed. In fact the colours matched exactly ... Read More:

This is my fourth Epson printer but the first All-in-One. It is very noisy, much worse than my earlier printers and I have been unable to Scan and Save to File with it because the system will not respond in the manner that the Manual says it does. It has presently crashed because the paper feed malfunctioned and a sheet of A4 disappeared into the innards with paper crumpling and tearing noises. The LCD display tells me there is a fault and recommends that I consult the documentation - regrettably there is nothing there that tells me how to get a sheet of paper out of the inner workings. I was ready to replace it anyway.
I don't recommend this model and I am presently undecided about a replacement - earlier Epsons gave good service but ... Read More:

Epson PX700W can be fitted with compatible T080 series cartidges but when the lid is closed, printer claims not to recognise some of them.
Without doing anything other than raise and lower the lid again, the printer selects a random number of other cartridges it is 'unable' to recognise'!!!
Baffled? I was. Perhaps Epson have installed a 'stump up for our expensive ink cartridges or I won't work' feature but have not found this in the manual.
My advice is wait until some 3rd party ink manufacturers catch up and make a truely compatible set of ink cartridges otherwise running costs will be high.
In the meantime, I will use my old printer and likely ebay this black brick.

I bought the printer mainly to scan negatives and to print them.
I use both Windows and Mac with a USB connection to the printer.
Even if not entirely satisfied I would buy this product again.
PROS:
- very good scanning quality (of negatives and slides, good speed, rendering of colours, shadows, etc.);
- the print quality is comparable to the one of Boots;
- silent and relatively fast;
- broad range of print/scanning options (I did not try the OCR, yet).
CONS:
- the USB cable is not included;
- on Windows the software requires 800MB and on Mac 480MB. The scan a colour negative at the maximum resolution produces a file of about 20MB. My windows machine has 512MB of RAM and they ... Read More:

We have had this printer to supplement an Epson A3 Printer for the last 6 months. Best thing we ever did. We use MAC and PC at home. MAC installation and day to day operation - excellent. So simple and user friendly. PC install long winded and needed a few downloads from HP. General Day to day - ok. Duplexing is a must and very good - saved loads of paper. Just used it for actual photo reproduction and scale ups - amazing - quality as good as original up to A4 from 10*15. Really useful to have separate photo paper tray. Fax - simple operation. Wireless operation is simple to set up and works superbly. Only complaints are cost of ink cartridges and the ability to set specific defaults on the device like draft printing mode.
Overall - best printer we have ... Read More:
