Technology Overview

DURABrite Ultra pigment ink
The Epson C88+ uses DURABrite Ultra ink, a revolutionary, pigment-based ink that delivers superior image quality for all kinds of projects.

Beautiful
With revolutionary DURABrite Ultra ink, users can achieve remarkable results on glossy photo paper, matte paper and even plain copy paper. With such exceptional quality and versatility, DURABrite Ultra ink offers the ideal solution for nearly any printing project, from high quality enlargements to everyday text and graphics. Double-sided prints look great because the ink will not bleed through. And, when you use Epson Premium Presentation Paper Double-sided Matte, you can make your own professional-looking brochures.

Durable

Smudge resistant
Like all Epson ink, DURABrite Ultra features a quick-drying formula that enables you to touch documents and photos right after printing--without any messy smudging. With worry-free handling, you can share prints immediately, unlike those printed with some competitive inks that smudge easily and take several minutes to dry.

Fade resistant
The special formulation of DURABrite Ultra ink also offers fade resistant properties that exceed those of photo lab prints, as well as those printed on many competitive products. In fact, with this remarkable ink, photos can resist fading up to 100 years!2
Water resistant
Your prints will be water resistant on all supported papers (even plain paper!). Because DURABrite Ultra ink is pigment-based, ink particles will not dissolve if they come into contact with water. So, prints resist smearing or accidental damage by spills or moisture.

Paper handling capacity
The Epson C88+ has a high-capacity, 120-sheet input tray that holds various paper sizes, up to 8.5" x 14".

Connectivity
The printer can be connected to multiple computers using its built-in USB and parallel ports. Plus, it can switch between ports automatically. The Epson C88+ can also be connected to different platforms simultaneously, including Macintosh and Windows-based systems.

1. Pages per minute (ppm) speed measured after first page, based on black and color text patterns in Draft Mode on plain paper. Additional print time will vary based on system configuration, software application and page complexity. See www.epson.com/printspeed for more information about print speed.
2. Fade resistance rating is based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, displayed indoors under glass or UV filter. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or UV filter or properly store them. Visit www.wilhelm-research.com for the latest information.

4 out of 5 stars Good functional printer   April 27, 2008
I bought this as a replacement for my uncle who is 88 and still plugging away. This does not work well in OS9 so it helped him migrate to OS X and finally to his new(er) eMac. With file conversion we got the last of his OS9 files translated and now he prints his work with this printer. It does not have the superfast "ink saver" that his last HP had but the colors are much better.


3 out of 5 stars Epson C88+ printer   April 27, 2008
Gives beautiful prints but the ink cartridges are small. Especially the black, which is the workhorse of any printer. I went through a black cartridge in about two weeks. The Photos are clear and color-accurate, and can be borderless. The pics of our cat showed every hair as clear as a bell(she's black). I've always used Epson printers, and hope I get the same results from this one.


4 out of 5 stars Mine lasted 5 years!   April 19, 2008
I've had an Epson C88 for maybe 4 or five years and never had a problem with it. I'm a graphic artist and this printer gave me good enough quality printouts to show my customers color designs without feeling like it was printed on a cheap printer. Also 4" x 6" photo prints look great! (use good paper throughout for best results) The only thing was the price of the ink. Too expensive! So I installed a CIS kit (continuous ink system) on the C88 and it worked just fine. Well anyway the printer finally died. It actually sent me a message that the printer had lived out it's life cycle. I think it means that the sponges, cleaning system or print-heads are kaput. I tried everything to get it back to work but to no avail. Don't think about repairing when you can buy a new one for about $80 bucks and it comes with ink. Where I live inks cost around $60. I bought another epson C88 thru Amazon and got it in 2 days (with free shipping). Hooked up my CIS onto the new one and in 20 minutes I was hitting that print button. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones but I was very happy with my old C88, it lasted a long time with no problems. I hope this new one works just as well.


2 out of 5 stars epson:creating for failure?   April 14, 2008
i have had a c84 and c86 and tho i love the printer when it is working, they seem to consistently become inoperable by at most year but often in less time! my last printer i had hardly used and it failed. They wanted me to send it somewhere in yonkers but sorry for me if they cant fix it! that is unacceptable to me, it seems a scam to insure purchasing - i am now looking into other kinds of printers.


2 out of 5 stars Already having printing problems after 3 days.   April 13, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I'm already having printing problems with the Epson c88+ purchased through Amazon after only having used it for three days. It prints as if it already needs cleaning; and it continually has a problem pulling the paper through. Another minor detail, but a hassle to work with, is that the paper support backer keeps falling out.
