Epson Stylus C88+ Review

Overview:

There are so many industries today that need special printers to make sure their special print outs. However; the Epson Stylus C88+ is one of the best and also affordable. If you want a high-quality color ink-jet that does a respectable job on everything from text to photos, then the Epson Stylus C88+ should be best for you. Using four smudge and water resistant inks in individual ink tanks, the Epson Stylus C88+ may be short on added extras, like PictBridge ports, card slots, and CD printing, but it has the color ink-jet basics with no exceptions. The Epson Stylus C88+ is easy to set up. It connects to your Mac via a USB 2.0 port on the back of the printer. Also, the Epson Stylus C88+ can also use the parallel port for attaching an optional Ethernet print server and it uses four individual ink tanks filled with a new version of Epson’s pigment inks “DuraBrite Ultra”. Like the previous generation of Epson’s DuraBrite inks, these pigmented inks offer both water resistance and smudge resistance. The new Ultra inks are also made-up to do away with the quality issues the previous inks had when printing on Epson’s Premium Glossy Photo paper. With DuraBrite Ultra, Epson claims there is no need to use the special DuraBrite glossy papers that the company sells to address the earlier problems.
