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.

So lets be a bit clear, the printer is good. Issue is the ink cartridges are highway robbery and expensive.. They also finish VERY quickly (unless they are demo cartridges included). My experience with this printer is very mixed.. which is a rare for me. It got the job done with shirt presses, but its VERY messy. I am using a perfectly good CISS system for it, and the leakage gets on the paper because of the way the ink is handled.. Heat transfer paper is not cheap. I understand that the CISS system isn't "compatible" or rather "created by epson" (why would they? They'd lose all this money on up selling you expensive basic ink), but it shouldn't alter the fact that the way the system handles the ink is a bit messy. Now, I can't say this issue is the printer itself, but I do know these are my issues with the setup..- Constant need to calibrate after not using for a while- Constant wasting of ALOT of paper because of printing issues due to the fact that borderless printing is non-existent with this printer. Had to troubleshoot for hours and days to find out it really doesnt handle borderless well or at all.- Support is eh- Printer handles ink messy- You can't fully open it up for thorough cleaning.What I do remember is several others had the same issue with ink leakage and borders in both their forums and in google, which I am almost certain they were using original Epson cartridges.Overall review? Just get another more expensive printer if you really want quality prints. ESPECIALLY if you are doing heatpress for shirts. Had I known this would happen, I would have invested in the higher tier $200-300 Epson printer or another brand that I was looking at during the same time of purchase.As bad luck would have it, my printer decided to die when I needed it most: to print various items for my grand daughter's Bat Mitzvah. This printer did a fantastic quality job printing on 32# bonded paper (used as program cover) and 24# bright white paper (for the inside). I did find it's not particularly fond of standard 16# or 20# paper and tends to feed a little crookedly. One thing I learned was it's important to push the paper towards the back of the feed tray (after loading) and ensure it is placed behind two small clips located on the inside bottom of the feed. When putting your hand down the feed tray, just gently push the paper towards the back and you will hear a faint click. This is quite important to ensure the paper feeds correctly and doesn't become off kilter when printing. Also printed pictures on photo quality paper with excellent results. In short: I'm impressed. I do recommend reading the reviews on this printer and keep in mind it does have a few quirks.. For example, it's important to use it regularly to ensure the ink doesn't dry out and mess up the heads. I found several YouTube videos which address this issue as well as recommended maintenance. One of the nice things I found is that this printer is widely supported for CISS systems (continuous ink) and refillable cartridges. So with a little homework, you could have this printer work well with pigment ink, dye ink, and/or sublimation ink. Keep in mind, though, you will need to thoroughly clean the heads when switching and the CISS YouTube videos address that as well.I bought this to replace a Canon S750, which I adored for 10 years until Canon stopped making replacement printheads for it. I didn't expect to love the Epson Stylus C88+ like I did that Canon -- and I sure don't -- but I've had the Epson for two years now, so I may as well say something about it.From day 1 it's never fed paper straight; prints ALWAYS come out crooked, which I can somewhat minimize by only feeding single sheets which I hold onto until the feed wheel grabs. I've actually gotten used to doing this.To its credit, it prints color graphics beautifully. However, it guzzles copious amounts of ink in doing so. I mostly print CD labels and jewel case covers (i.e., 70-90% coverage) and get a dozen prints at most before the Epson demands new and very expensive cartridges. Also, if you don't print something at least every third day, the heads get clogged, requiring a cleaning pass (or two!) that consumes huge amounts of ink. Ditto installing new cartridges: be prepared to run page after page of head realignments that also drain ink. So you can use up half those very, very expensive cartridges before you get to print a real document. And as others have mentioned, if even ONE of the 4 cartridges is out, you cannot print at all.I reduced my operating costs a lot when I switched to non-OEM compatible cartridges, but recently those have gone way up in price and way down in reliability. I'm about to try refilling old OEM cartridges myself -- at least until the dreaded Epson "end of life" message pops up. After that (if the refilling works out) I'll likely buy another one, because as unsatisfactory as the Epson C88+ is compared to the printers of yore, no one seems to be making anything better.This printer may not be for everyone, but if you do any kind of craft work that requires WATERPROOF images, this is a great printer. It prints great color images even on plain copy paper. The inks are pigment rather than dye based, which makes them waterproof. They are not quite as vibrant as dye based ink, but I find with dye based ink, even with waterproofing products, there is always some blurring, and a pinkish cast to the light-colored areas of an image, when I use decoupage medium on them. Not so with this printer (or probably any Epson printer that uses Durabrite ink). I have even dipped the images in a cup of water and wrung them out with no loss of color!I do mostly color printing, and after 10 months, I am still using the color cartridges that came with the printer. I did have to change the black ink after 6 months. I think it may not be the best printer if you only use it for black and white text, as it does seem to go through black ink fairly quickly, and the text isn't quite as sharp as my old Canon. But if you want waterproof color images, it's a great printer!Arrived on time and is as shown but I will not be using it until I get some proper paper for my needs and some other business supplies.Looks good though.Thanks!
