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.

<sup>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.</sup>

Remarkable quality. Looks nice, behaves well (I use a Mac), it's quiet and quick -- simply amazing for its price. No complaints whatsoever! Excellent paper handling. It's easy to replace cartridges, and no messes. A sensational value.

Epson Stylus C88+ Ink Jet Printer (C11C617121)

I destroyed my Epson C88 with a paper jam so I was happy to receive the C88+ promptly. The only drawback was in my having a supply of ink cartridges for C88 on hand!

Customer Rating: - Happy Customer
The Epson Stylus C88+ is a very good printer for me.
I have the MSN TV2 computer, and the printers that you can use with this system, is limited.
But you cannot do better than with the C88+.
Good crisp printed document and the ability you have to print pictures is great, good clear 4+6 pictures.
The price at Amazon is also good and I did nt have to pay for shipping, since it did nt matter to me if it would arrive between 5 and 9 days after I ordered it.
I would recommend this to every body. As the matter of fact I bought two, one for a friend.
