Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Very fast and excellent quality prints.

Weaknesses:The price of ink as always.

Overall Evaluation: I've owned the R280 for a few months now and it's worked very well. So far I'm satisfied with all the Epson printers I have bought. The speed and quality have definitely improved since I bought the last one in 1999! However the price of ink has gone up too. I think I'll go with the Continuous Ink System (CIS) to combat that weakness.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Good print quality, nice resolution for photos, prints directly to CD/DVD's

Weaknesses:Ink is stupid expensive

Overall Evaluation: 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.

Duration of ownership: 14 Days

Strengths: Quality prints, works well on CD / DVD, fast printing, individual ink tank, cheap after the rebate.

Weaknesses:Paper jam, uses ink fast and expensive to replace all ink tanks.

Overall Evaluation: This is a good entry level printer for photos and printing CDs / DVDs. Got it free after rebate with digital camera purchase. But it uses ink very fast. So long term ownership cost is higher than Canon one.
