Tue, 19 Oct 2004 09:02:38 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author canadianart - The photos are fine but very expensive to print. A 13 x 19 photo printed on this machine works out to about $13.00 CNDN. The rep who sold us the machine told us the carts were refillable and as it turns out they are not. They have a chip embedded in...

Epson Stylus Photo 1280: Get ready for clogged print nozzles

Thu, 8 Jan 2004 10:17:23 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mainebones - The quality of the prints is good, but be prepared, as with other Epson printers for clogged heads and stripes in your photos. In some printers the print heads are in the cartridge so a new cartridge means new heads, but in the Epson they are separate...

Epson Stylus Photo 1280: Not worth the $$$

Tue, 16 Dec 2003 00:57:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author konacoffee - Read the fine print. All photos must go behind glass or some type of covering as not to fade. That is difficult for many 4x6 prints and therefore I have lost many to fading quite quickly. I live in a high humidity area and I believe that contributes...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johnfalky - Being an under-employed Aerospace Engineer in a dying industry, I purchased the Epson 1280 in late 2001 after extensively checking out its competition.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xlugxmiop - With the recent $100 rebate there's been a lot of renewed interest in this printer, despite the fact that it's "over a year old" by now. And for good reason.
