The Stylus C88+ is easy to setup. There is no need to install the Epson software if you are using Vista. Simply plug the printer into a USB port and Vista will automatically configure the appropriate driver. The printer produces crisp text and good quality photos. Text output is very fast. Photos take much longer. The printer is quiet. The Durabrite inks are excellent for reducing smudges caused...

Strengths: Compact & lightweight, 4 cartridges, economic.
Weakness: No Pictbridge (to print directly from camera), No slot for memory cards from camera.
Epson C88+ is a great general purpose printer with the added benefit of being a decent photo printer. It is easier to find the cartridges for cheap on the interent, especially if you have a good source for generic cartridges or know how to refill on your own. Less expensive than HP printers. I also like that individual cartridges can be replaced rather than having to buy a new drum just because...
Strengths: Excellent printer at a very reasonable price. Wide variety of print settings produces quality and clear print from draft to photo. Installation is easy. Printer commands are intuitive.
Weakness: The four ink cartridges, although reasonably priced, are rather small. The black cartridge is the same size as the three color cartridges.
I am very well pleased with the appearance and the operation of the printer. The print quality is excellent, photos included [even though the printer is not marketed as a "photo printer"]. When printing, a preliminary screen shows the level of ink in the cartridges. If the black ink cartridge had been larger than the color cartridges and all cartridges would have been larger, I would have awarded...
Strengths: Photo printing is simply amazing for this price level. Print speed is pretty quick. Ink doesn't dry out very quickly, unlike previous Stylus printer models.
Weakness: As with all other Epson printers, text printing is not as good as with HP units. The ink tends to bleed just a bit, making text appear slighly fuzzy compared to HP DeskJet output.
I have owned a number of Epson printers, and I manage even more of them for my employer. They have always been very reliable units, nearly always outlasting their HP counterparts. The main strength that has sold me on Epson all along is their magnificent photo printing. This tradition continues on the C88, and only gets better. ...and faster. I always print on full-size photo paper for my final...
Strengths: Very good for price. Works rapidly. Easy to use. Nice clear print.
Weakness: Seems to have short cartridge life.
We actually own three of these printers! One at home, and one for each daughter in college. The kids had no problems getting them up and running on their own.
Strengths: Color printer with with card reader
Weakness: sp far so good
The printer is compact with multi format SD/MMC/CF/MMS etc. card reader. The ink set is individually wrapped, but really each/all will be gone very quickly. Overall all, the print quality is recommendable!
Strengths: Inexpensive. USB and parallel.
Weakness: Expensive ink cartridges. No memory card reader.
Epson Stylus C88+ is one of the most basic photo printer out there, and that is why it costs less. Print quality is so so, but the most serious problem, which may be true of all Epson printers, is the capacity of ink cartridges was so small that they needed to be replaced very soon. The authentic Epson cartridges are very expensive and will cost more than the printer itself. One good thing I...
Strengths: Good text quality and Okay picture quality (not as clean and sharp as I expect).
Weakness: The capacility of ink is some kind of low. Out of black ink with other three ink catridges half full when I print less than 200 pages.
Very easy to hook up. Every time I needs it just connect the usb port. As regular color printer, it works properly. But I did not try borderless photo through it because I doubt this manchine was designed for this level of work. Btw, I have never had 23ppm speed out of it.
Strengths: printer price is good.
Weakness: Ink hog
Kind of dissapointed for this printer, printed only about 100 pages, it required more ink, need replace black ink. Email to Epson, got reply said: ==== it come with full ink, but printer head need be The printer ships with full cartridges. The first time ink cartridges are installed in the printer, some of the ink is used to prime the system. Ink is distributed through the print head and into the...

Excellent value
Strengths: Inexpensive, separate color cartridges, parallel port in addition to USB
Weakness: No LCD, no media slots
This printer does basic functions well for its low price. Ink cartridges are small so in the long run it will cost you quite a bit of money. Buying generic ink on the Internet can lower these costs considerably. Since the printer does not have an LCD or PictBridge or media reader you need a PC to use it. But that's how most people use printers anyways. Having a parallel port in addition to USB is...
