The Epson Stylus C88+ Printer is designed to produce excellent photos on both glossy and matte papers and share them with family and friends. Printing speeds of up to 23 ppm black and up to 14 ppm color give you high-quality printouts at resolutions of up to 5760x1440 optimized dpi. This printer uses the CMYK drop-on-demand Micro Piezo ink jet technology that has been optimized for plain paper printing. The DURABrite Ultra pigment ink ensures great clarity and sharpness on both plain and photo paper. This ink is fast-drying, smudge, fade and water resistant, for long lasting prints. In addition, the 3 picoliters small ink droplets ensure fast speeds and excellent details on all of your photos.
The Epson C88+ color printer has individual ink cartridges, which gives you the flexibility to change only the color cartridge that you need. It provides Borderless photo printing in different frame-ready sizes, and features easy-to-use photo editing software that allows you to make calendars, photobooks, etc. The C88+ is equipped with parallel and USB 2.0 interfaces for fast data transfer and wide compatibility.
Pros: Great price. For sure, borderless prints on 4X6 photo paper. Haven't tried other sizes yet. Nice print speed. Does a very good job on plain general use paper.E ach color has its own cartridge. Over all a very good litle printer.
Cons: Expensive ink and can't refill Epson cartridges. If you allow the nozzles to dry out you waste a lot of ink cleaning. Cartridges that came with the printer didn't last long.
Other Thoughts: First Epson printer. Got tired of headaches with "C" brand printers. You should try to print something every few days (or more) to keep the nozzles from clogging. The one I had was stolen during home burglary; I'm getting another one. By the way, I still have my "C" brand printer - it wasn't stolen. That should tell you something.

Pros: This printer does a decent job of everyday printing and good quality photo work. What makes it more unique to the many other printers around is that it's one of the few left that will allow use of spongeless- see through cartridges and their very easy refilling at the cost of about $1.25/cartridge along with a chip resetter that is easily obtainable. Additionally, if one wishes to refill the OEM cartridges that come with the printer and use bulk ink there is a cheap kit to allow refilling sold by www.inksupply.com , which they developed to do just that. It is unfortunate that every major printer company has made it difficult to recycle cartridges by refilling and are adding tons of plastic to the landfills, wasting resources by necessitating new cartridges to be made and saddling the high cost of printing onto the consumer. The C88+ and a few other Epsons that use this particular size cartridge make it viable to recycle, save money and cheap for the consumer to run a printer.
Cons: The cartridges use chips, which is Epson's way impediment to allowing the consumer to refill a cartridge. Fortunately a chip resetter easily circumvents that annoyance.
Other Thoughts: Although I am hopeful that Newegg will publish this I am dubious that it will be listed on the reviews as it knocks the status quo of how printer manufacturers make their profit. Still, I think it's worth attempting to make a point here on behalf of the environment and the consumer when it's the right thing to do and business has gone too far in the other direction.

Not Worth it... big waste of ink.
Reviewed By: on 3/29/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Inexpensive, cheap ink, easy to use.
Cons: This printer seems great after you unbox it and print with it for a few days/ weeks. Then you notice the print quality goes patchy... clean the heads and its good again (wasting ink). Three days later, same thing happens- so you clean them again (wasting more ink). Before you know it, you have to buy more cartridges because the printer refuses to print if there isn't enough of every color of ink (because apparently you still need yellow to print a black, text only document). The point is that this printer works well... but left alone for two or three days, the heads dry up and putting new ink in is not going to fix it. I've probably lost over $50 in ink that is sitting in the bottom of the printer from desperately trying to clean the heads so I can print something. I would NOT recommend for one of my friends to buy one of this line of Epson Printers. The print heads dry up and then no amount of cleaning will help.
Other Thoughts: I would still buy an Epson Pro model printer, but this low end series is definitely not worth it. Please stay clear.

Good Printer

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Good, quality value. I buy printers nowadays based on ink price. I had an epson before with these types of individual ink cartridges and I could get re-manufactured ink online on the cheap{$4.xx per cartridge} and it worked perfect, same here.
Prints really quick and reasonably quite.
Great, small personal printer. Not a resource hog, don't need it to start with windows to work, only the spoolsv.exe service.
Cons: None and don't expect any.
Other Thoughts: I gave my epson stylus cx4600 with inks like this c88+ to my mother and I wanted a printer80 bucks, freeshipping,cheap ink, epson get it.
