Strengths: Reliable, Great color
Weakness: Print head gets clogged if you don't print a lot
As for print quality, this printer is as good as any. One drawback I've found is that the printhead gets clogged if you don't use it for awhile. While it has a test/clean nozzle program in maintenance, I have found this to be lacking. I recommend printing a test page every day or two to keep the heads clear.
Strengths: Reliable - printes very well - inexpensive
Weakness: Plastic front door kinda cheap but, seems to work okay.
The Epson 280 printer is very reliable & was recognized by my Windows XP OS instantly. It not only prints documents well but, also does a wonderful job of printing photos and on DVD's & CD's. The quality is excellent. I like it much better than the HP printer I previously owned.
Strengths: Good print quality, nice resolution for photos, prints directly to CD/DVD's
Weakness: Ink is stupid expensive
I love using this printer. Print quality is very good and its prints directly to CD/DVD's. I got my printer free when I purchased a digital camera with it. I now know why Epson gives away the printer. Because they will make it up in ink. Ink prices are ridiculous. Unfortunately, I have not found any generics that perform as well as OEM. The search continues for a good ink alternative.
Strengths: Price, picture quality, quick setup, fast speed, and easy to use.
Weakness: Ink drainage.
Just a brief background, this is only the 3rd inkjet printer I have personally owned in the last 2 years and this printer blows the others I have owned in the past for much less of the cost. I was surprised on how many rebates epson offers so that these printers can be bought for free after rebate with the purchase of a camera or laptop, so that was a plus. I was able to setup the printer in less...
Strengths: Fast color printing, excellent print quality
Weakness: Consumes ink quickly
Given that I bought this printer together with a camera (Epson was running a promotion), I'm surprised on quality of the printer; nothing you would expect from those cheap/free printers that are usually bundled in with a laptop or digital camera. The colors are vibrant, and prints look very good. The only gripe I have is like another Epson printer I have, it uses a large amount of ink, so I would...
Strengths: Fast printing, Epson brand, claria ink (high def), prints to CD
Weakness: Ink refills are expensive
I purchased this printer to print good quality photos which I was not getting from my other inkjet printers (also Epson but general purpose printers). This printer is amazingly good, very good picture printing results. Has high definition printing capability with the new claria ink technology. Uses 6 ink cartridges which causes ink refills to be expensive than 4 ink printers. It prints to CDs as...
Strengths: beautiful photos, fast
Weakness: n/a
The Epson R280 photo printer is cheap and the printing speed is quite fast. It has built-in auto photo correction which corrects the lighting in poorly exposed photos. It also print images and text directly onto ink jet printable CDs and DVDs, a feature I am really fond of. It's a good printer though I am not sure how fast the ink will run out.
Strengths: Good color, fast printing
Weakness: It won't print on CDs except with their program
I bought an R280 printer to replace my R200, which I use to print CD labels, because the R200 won't pull CDs in or eject them correctly and I have to baby it. I installed the new drivers on my Macintosh but it wouldn't let me select CDs as the media type. It was grayed out. I called support (a toll call on my dime) and it took the Indian guy 25 minutes to tell me they do not support printing...
Strengths: Good price
Weakness: na
This is a very nice printer for a cheap price. The printing quality and speed is not to shaby for a $50 color printer, plus you can print directly to CD. Quite enought for my personal use.
The Epson Stylus Photo R280 is a mid-range photo-centric inkjet printer. Print speeds are quick, ranging up to 38 pages per minute. 4x6" photos can be printed off as quickly as 11 seconds per print.

Strengths: Stunning prints, simply gorgeous color reproduction | FAST color printing!
Weakness: Expensive ink | Printer is pretty heavy considering the size | Surprisingly loud!
This printer is a rather low-cost solution to full color, accurate photo reproduction in your home, especially if you pick it up for a lower price after rebate. The prints so far have been virtually the same as a real photograph you’d get developed in-store. I’ve been very happy with this printer so far. The only real issue I have with it is the size of it, and oddly enough, the noise level...
