Summary: Very disappointing
Comment: I purchased an Epson Printer, the C86 model when I bought my computer, 3+ years ago. It worked fine for a short time, then I started to notice broken, faded and white lines through everything. I couldn't print a picture without lines all through it. I cleaned the heads regularly, purchased only the Epson brand ink and did everything else I was supposed to. I contacted Epson and they sent me a new printer, not even requiring that I send back the defective one, which really told me something about the product! The one they sent is the C88 model. It worked better, and for a longer time than the first one, but after several months it started doing the same thing as the C86 model. As has been stated by others, the ink is VERY expensive, and these printers use a whole lot of it. It was actually less than $10 more for me to purchase a new printer (HP, with scanner and copier) than it was to buy just the ink for the Epson.
I am staying far, far away from Epson printers.
Customer Rating: Summary: Quick and quiet, perfect for homework and hard copies
Comment: 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.

Comment: 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!

Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: Dissapointment
Comment: I tried to order this printer, but was told it was out of stock, don't bother.
