My C88+ was the third Epson I've owned. It was 2 years old and the C88 [at about 18 months] both shut down on an "end-of-expected-life" error message - - and both became immediately useless. This time it was VERY FRUSTRATING because I was in the middle of a lengthy business document and it left me with unfinished work. If Epson is going to limit the lifetime, how about also including a warning of pending "end-of-life." One other item, earlier models had the option of a â€œstandard capacityâ€� black ink cartridge or a â€œhigh capacityâ€� black ink cartridge. This was eliminated on the C88+ model; a very unfriendly consumer decision by Epson because â€" guess what, MOST print work is in BLACK. PS: The high capacity black ink for the C88 WILL work in the C88+, it does not fit well and a little force must be use â€" but it does work. [I had left over unopened High Capacity cartridges when the C88 failed and tried one just to see if it would work â€" and it did.]

Disappointed

I'm a long time Epson user and fan. Generally, I feel good about recommending their products that products that I've used to others. However, I've got really mixed feelings about the C88+. I purchased one to replace a C80 that died. On the plus side, it's faster, less expensive, less prone to streaking when left to sit a long time between print jobs, seems to print photos better. On the negative side, it seems to go through consumables faster -- probably the downside of self cleaning that reduces streaking, and also a result of the fact that the black cartridge is no longer larger than the color ones. And most annoyingly, the paper handling is awful. I rarely print a multi-page job without getting blank pages where multiple pieces of paper are pulled in. The slightest crease or wrinkle produces jams, tears or smudged output. And finally, the output tray is shorter, often resulting on output on the floor.

Great little workhorse

By OldManK

from Central PA

Comments about Epson Stylus C88+ Inkjet Printer:

After using a C82 for thousands of pages, it finally met it's end and was replaced with a pair of C84s. These ran for many thousands of pages as well so when these finally reached their service limit, I naturally chose the last of the family line, C88. The best features are the straight through paper path and the nearly waterproof inks. These are truly spectacular plain paper printers for normal documents, labels and such. Photos, not so much, but they work in a pinch even for that.

I would recommend this printer to a friend, good price and very good pictures. Ink is expensive, since it takes 4 cartridges.

Dependable Workhorse

By LD in WA

from Seattle, WA

Comments about Epson Stylus C88+ Inkjet Printer:

I've used Epson printers for about 15 years and every one of them has been great. I just ordered my second C88+ as the one I've been using for 7 years is finally wearing out. Print quality is excellent, it's easy to use and doesn't drink ink like a thirsty camel. Compatibility and ease of use with a Mac is appreciated as well.

Great Printer

By creativeauntie

Comments about Epson Stylus C88+ Inkjet Printer:

This is my third Epson C88 printer and I have been pleased with all. I do a lot of cards and other printing and I like the clear colors I get. I only get a new one when it says "service needed" some parts have reach their life. When this happens don't know what to do are how to fix it, therefore I just gat a new one.

Terrible

By Obules

from Undisclosed

Comments about Epson Stylus C88+ Inkjet Printer:

I haven't been able to get it to work properly at all. First, I had to buy a connector cable so I could actually USE it (since one was not provided with my printer) and now that I have done that and set it up, the printer does one of two things: runs paper through it without printing, or prints pages and pages of gibberish...last time I turned it on, it spewed 110 pages of randomness at me.

Comments about Epson Stylus C88+ Inkjet Printer:

Have not been able to review my new printer because it now requires a password from the compter. This is the 4th Epson printer I've had on this Mac and never had to provide a password before. Why? I had 3 C88+ printers. One cratered on me so I bought another one and now I can't get it to work. This is my choice for a printer. It does what I want and does a good job. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles.

C88 Printer

By Vern

from Casselberry Fl.

Comments about Epson Stylus C88+ Inkjet Printer:

I have purchased 3 C88s over time. The 1st was new, The 2nd was refurbished, the last is new. Refurbished was not available. I would be interested in checking on having the one that failed refurbished. They work as well as a new one. C88 is simple and easy to use. The only thing I didn't like was when it said the hardware had reached the end of it's life and needed service, and died.

Comments about Epson Stylus C88+ Inkjet Printer:

This is my 3rd Epson C88+ printer. I print, on average, 6000 to 7000 course completion cards a year using this printer. The printer does a great job and the only reason I am on the 3rd one is I simply wear them out.
