Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Review at PhotographyBLOG

By

PhotographyBLOG has posted a brief review of the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 printer.

The Epson R2880 does feature a couple of very welcome enhancements that bring the printer up to the same output quality as the larger 4880, 7880, and 9880 models. The most obvious of these is the replacement of the standard magenta inks with the newest Vivid Magenta and Vivid Light Magenta. These new formulations increase the color accuracy and gamut of the printer, especially in blues and purples.
