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.

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.
