 My Epson C88 Rating February 16, 2006

Teh feature I like most about this printer is the paper handling ability. I use several different weights and types of paper along with postage forms and the Epson C88 handles them well.

Easy to hook up, love the printer and quality of print. Color is great but is does us the black ink very quickly -- but I still would have bought this one -- love it.
Great bang for the buck but must have right combo March 9, 2008

Bought four of these direct from Epson over a year ago. Currently using two actively with fantastic results. This little gem never clogs or messes up. The secret is not to use Epson's crappy ink. It is designed to make them money with wasted ink with continual cleaning cycles every time it starts. I instead threw their junk cartridges away and installed a Kyson [...] CIS system (continuous ink system) on each system and I have been printing as much or as little as I want with no clogging or any other problems. Kyson's ink is far superior to Epson's and is formulated so perfectly that I have had no problems what so ever with printing. I also use their system on an Epson R260 with even better results. I thoroughly tested the CIS units for over a year under all sorts of conditions and had no problems with their product and the prices are excellent. They also carry replacement ink which I have also used and it is fantastic. 317-536-8127 -Guy

What I like about this printer is that I can print DOS/Windows program reports via an LPT1 cable from my desktop and print Windows program reports via a USB cable from my laptop, all at the same time. My C88 printer was supposedly a "refurbished" discounted model from the Epson store but it came out of the box with what appeared to be original factory film and tape and in perfect condition.
My experience with Epson in general is that their printers and all-in-ones don't seem to last very long. I'm hoping that the C88 will last longer than my last two basic HP Deskjets which lasted months, rather than years, even with light printing. The Epson DuraBrite/Claria color inks last forever but are frankly dull and muddy compared to the short lived but deeply colored and sharp HP dye inks. HP now offers longer lived inks in some of their printer models.
The Epson driver software that comes with this printer is great. I especially like the Epson Web-To-Page software on the CD.
The black and the color C88 ink cartridges are on the small side but for me they'll be good enough. You certainly can't complain about the price for this simple basic text/color inkjet printer.
Excellent printer - great price July 31, 2006

I have had my C88 for 2 weeks and printed @ 300 pages of primarily ebay and other web stuff. I use 3 different color settings depending on the quality output I need: draft, text, and text & image, but primarily text. Ink cartridges are still over half full, with the exception of the black, which is a third full. Use the text or draft setting and you will get fast, quality prints and use minimal ink. Print quality is great, ink is waterproof and smudgeproof. Insatllation was a breeze, web print feature is great to cature entire screen. I have had a few "jam" notices when I had no jams, but easily cleared. I have not tried it on photos, but it is not a photo printer. This is the 5th Epson I've owned, and I own a Canon photo printer. Epson software is superior, as is their printers in my opinion. All of my old Epsons are still in use by relatives and neighbors with no problems.
