Key Advantages

The Epson Stylus 288 provides high-quality color printing in a compact desktop form factor. Its use of individual ink cartridges reduces waste and lowers operating costs. The 720 dpi resolution ensures sharp and vibrant output suitable for presentations and photo prints. The printer’s compatibility with popular operating systems of the 1990s enhances its usability. Maintenance is straightforward with easily accessible cartridges and print heads. The relatively low noise operation makes it suitable for office environments.

Limitations

Being an early 1990s inkjet model, print speeds are slower compared to modern printers, making it unsuitable for high-volume printing. The parallel port connection limits compatibility with newer computers that use USB or wireless interfaces. Ink cartridges are relatively expensive and may dry out if unused for long periods. Print resolution, while good for its time, does not match modern high-definition printers. The lack of automatic duplex printing requires manual paper handling. Additionally, driver support may be limited on contemporary operating systems.
