Key Advantages

The Epson Stylus Photo R280 offers outstanding photo print quality with its six individual Claria inks. It provides a high maximum resolution that ensures sharp and detailed output for images and text. The printer supports borderless printing, allowing edge-to-edge photo prints without cropping. Its user-friendly interface and software make printing tasks convenient and efficient. The printer's compact footprint makes it suitable for home or small office environments. Additionally, it has relatively low power consumption in standby mode, contributing to energy efficiency.

Limitations

The Epson Stylus Photo R280's print speed can be slower compared to modern inkjet printers, especially for high-quality photo prints. The printer uses individual ink cartridges which may require frequent replacement if printing volume is high. It lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, limiting convenience for modern networked environments. Paper handling capacity is typical for small printers and may not meet the needs of heavy office use. The printer design and drivers may have compatibility issues with newer operating systems as it is an older model. Print costs can be higher due to ink cartridge sizes and the need for specialized photo inks.
