Technology Overview

DURABrite Ultra pigment ink
The Epson C88+ uses DURABrite Ultra ink, a revolutionary, pigment-based ink that delivers superior image quality for all kinds of projects.

Beautiful
With revolutionary DURABrite Ultra ink, users can achieve remarkable results on glossy photo paper, matte paper and even plain copy paper. With such exceptional quality and versatility, DURABrite Ultra ink offers the ideal solution for nearly any printing project, from high quality enlargements to everyday text and graphics. Double-sided prints look great because the ink will not bleed through. And, when you use Epson Premium Presentation Paper Double-sided Matte, you can make your own professional-looking brochures.

Durable

Smudge resistant
Like all Epson ink, DURABrite Ultra features a quick-drying formula that enables you to touch documents and photos right after printing--without any messy smudging. With worry-free handling, you can share prints immediately, unlike those printed with some competitive inks that smudge easily and take several minutes to dry.

Fade resistant
The special formulation of DURABrite Ultra ink also offers fade resistant properties that exceed those of photo lab prints, as well as those printed on many competitive products. In fact, with this remarkable ink, photos can resist fading up to 100 years!2
Water resistant
Your prints will be water resistant on all supported papers (even plain paper!). Because DURABrite Ultra ink is pigment-based, ink particles will not dissolve if they come into contact with water. So, prints resist smearing or accidental damage by spills or moisture.

Paper handling capacity
The Epson C88+ has a high-capacity, 120-sheet input tray that holds various paper sizes, up to 8.5" x 14".

Connectivity
The printer can be connected to multiple computers using its built-in USB and parallel ports. Plus, it can switch between ports automatically. The Epson C88+ can also be connected to different platforms simultaneously, including Macintosh and Windows-based systems.

1. Pages per minute (ppm) speed measured after first page, based on black and color text patterns in Draft Mode on plain paper. Additional print time will vary based on system configuration, software application and page complexity. See www.epson.com/printspeed for more information about print speed.
2. Fade resistance rating is based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, displayed indoors under glass or UV filter. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or UV filter or properly store them. Visit www.wilhelm-research.com for the latest information.

Great Performance for the $
 
Review Date: January 4, 2007
Reviewer: Jeff Soper, Bloomington, IN USA
I purchased this to replace an Epson C82 that worked great for several years before finally clogging beyond repair. This newer model prints borderless on all media and with great visual results. It is also a bit smaller than the previous model which is great because I actually keep it in a drawer out of sight, and just pull it out and turn it on to print. Epson improved the ink overspray by putting foam under the entire print path. Previous models had only a few spots to soak up extra ink, and borderless prints often left ink places that could soak into future prints. So this is another improvement. Over all a good printer for the price. I expect this one will also last several years.

Reviewer: Joseph G. Sabatino,
Pros: If you are looking to replace an old printer this one is fast, and gives excellent picture results - First thing I printed, out of the box, was good enough to hang on the living room wall. Easy to use. setup time 5 min.
I got the super saver free delivery expecting it to come in 2 weeks but I received it in 1 day!
Cons: Black cartridge could be bigger & it's the same size as the colored cartridges but it's more expensive.
Great deal

I was looking for an inexpensive printer that was MAC compatible. This one fits the bill perfectly. It's fast, quiet, and it hooked up to my Mac like a dream. Why spend more?
Great Printer

I am very impressed with this printer. I used to own an Epson C60,and this printer just blew that printer away. it's fast and the colors are very vivid. I would highly recommend this product. This is a inexpensive printer with a lot of bang for the money!
Nice Printer, Nice Price
 
Review Date: January 18, 2008
Reviewer: V. Cummings, Saginaw, MI
I purchased this printer after my Dell inkjet printer failed to produce color images, and pictures that satisfied me. So I thought I would start my search backawards this time, and take a look at who had the cheepest ink - and that was EPSON!

So this printer seemed like an excellent price when I picked it up for $49 at a local office store, I got it home and used it for a couple of months when it finally needed ink after making greeting cards, and printing pictures! I have always bought remanufactured ink cartridges and had no problems - DO NOT DO THAT WITH THIS PRINTER! I have tried all kinds of company and cannot get a GOOD print out from the remanufactured or refilled cartridges.

The thing I really like about this printer is all the ink is seperate it is not a black, and a multicolor cartridge or worse one cartridge that does all - this allows you to replace one at a time and the price on the cartridges are resonable too.. this printer prints super fast too in color or text modes. This is a excellent printer at the price point, especially now when all you seem to be finding are printers that print, copy, fax, scan, and wash the dishes!
