Key Advantages

The Epson Stylus Photo R280 offers exceptional photo print quality due to its 6-color ink system and high print resolution.

Individual cartridges allow users to replace only the color that runs out, reducing ink wastage and operational costs.

Borderless printing enhances presentation quality for photo prints, useful for professional or hobbyist photographers.

The printer supports high compatibility across Windows and Mac platforms, facilitating broad usage.

Connectivity via USB ensures simple setup and reliable data transfer for smooth printing tasks.

Its compact form factor makes it suitable for limited space environments such as home offices.

Limitations

The printing speed of the R280 is relatively slow compared to more modern models, especially for large volume print jobs.

It lacks wireless connectivity options like Wi-Fi or Ethernet, limiting flexibility in networked environments.

The printer does not have an automatic duplex printing feature, requiring manual paper handling for double-sided prints.

The driver and software support for newer operating systems may be limited, potentially causing compatibility challenges.

The Epson Stylus Photo R280 is designed primarily for photo printing and may not perform optimally with bulk document printing.

The individual ink cartridges can be relatively small in capacity, leading to frequent replacements depending on usage intensity.
