Key Advantages

The Epson Stylus Photo R280 delivers high-resolution output with vivid, true-to-life color reproduction thanks to its six-color ink system. It supports borderless printing, which is ideal for producing professional-quality photos without margins. The printer accommodates various paper sizes and types, offering great versatility. It features high-speed USB connectivity for fast data transfer. Compact size and stylish design enable easy integration into many office or home environments. The inclusion of user-friendly software enhances the photo printing experience.

Limitations

The Epson Stylus Photo R280 requires regular ink cartridge replacement, which can increase operating costs. The printer lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, limiting its network use. It may not perform as efficiently with bulk document printing compared to dedicated office printers. The paper tray holds a limited amount of paper, requiring frequent refills for larger jobs. Print speeds, while adequate for photos, are slower for text documents compared to laser printers. The printer driver/software may have limited updates or compatibility with the latest operating systems due to its age.
