    I am very happy with this printer. It is not very expensive, the retail price is $99, but it is very easy to find for less. I bought mine just before Christmas from the Epson website and I got $50 off. In addition, it came with free photo book software and an album to make a photo album. If you look around I am sure you can also find similar deals. I just checked the Epson website, and right now they have $20 off the printer. If you are in the market for a basic photo... Read more

    The Epson Stylus Photo R280 is a single-function hi-definition ink jet printer designed to offer outstanding print quality for a remarkably low price. Epson’s patented MicroPiezo print head and DX5 technology delivers five sizes of ink droplets, as small as 1.5 picoliters. The RX680 features borderless printing, six individual cartridges and auto photo correction. It will be available in September for a street price of $99. Read more

    This is the best hi definition photo printer for the buck. The quality is superb and the ink lasts a long time. Compared to other Epsons I've owned before, this one has a higher quality build. Comment Read more

    The main reason I bought this was because it was free with a rebate when I purchased a camera. I chose this epson model (it was an epson rebate) mainly because of the 'photo' features and CD/DVD printing. I didn't need a scanner because I already have an all-in-one. First off, this thing is HUGE, bigger than my AIO with a scanner bed. Print on CD/DVD is amazing. No complaints. The software is a little simple, it doesn't give you a ton of options, you can't even resize... Read more
