Epson Stylus Photo 1290 ... to 9.4 ppm (mono) / up to 9 ppm (colour) - capacity: 100 sheets - parallel, USB / The EPSON Stylus Photo 1290 inkjet printer provides lightfast 6-color Photo Reproduction Quality to professional photographers and photography enthusiasts with results more than comparable to standard photo-lab prints. The Stylus Photo 1290 becomes a desktop photo lab, exquisitely printing everything from portfolios and proofs to letters and web pages- delivering edge to edge output without the need for cropping. Using the latest Photo Reproduction Quality technology incorporating the EPSON Perfect Picture Imaging System, true Photo-Quality performance comes as standard without the need for additional upgrades, while printing on plain paper has been improved even further.

The Stylus Photo 1290 offers breakthrough 2880 dpi resolution for pinsharp text, graphics and photo images, combined with EPSON's 4 picolitre Ultra Micro Dot and Variable Sized Droplet Technology for finer detail and gradations. Improved edge-to-edge printing now means that photos can be printed with no surrounding white space on standard 4"x6", A4, A3 and A3+ paper, meaning that special oversized paper and cropping are unnecessary. For panoramic prints, a roll holder is also supplied that can take 100mm, 210mm and 329mm wide roll media. Lightfast prints are possible using EPSON's Matte Paper - Heavyweight, which offers in excess of 20 years lightfastness when prints are stored behind glass or in a photo album.

... dissapointed. The print quality is great but obviously the paper quality is a key factor in getting good results. To buy it now you're looking at around £160 which is a steal and the peripherals aren't too pricey compared to some photo inks either. Setup is relitivly easy, and the print dialogue box is straightforward, slightly technical but nothing too complicated. The only negative is the amount of space it takes up, but for an A3 printer its expected and wasn't too much trouble to find a place for it! There are bett...more

I'm a photography student at Manchester Met Uni who works primarily in digital so I was looking for a high quality reasonably priced A3 photo printer. The technician highly recommended this printer and in fact at uni there are 3 of these in the art department so naturally I splashed out and i'm not dissapointed.

Well i hope title got you to read it ya perverts. I paid the amount of £325in a CURRYS store. They had to order the printer from Epson, which took about a week. The printer is delivered with a roll paper holder as standard equipment. Installation was no problem on my Macintosh blue- white G 3. I had the Epson Photo 1270 before, which i sold on ebay Germany for about £200a week ago. Thus the step-up was only a modest £120 for me. How do the two printers compare, based on a first imperession? The 1290 offers, besides the roll paper holder, which i probably will never use, two advantages - printing with 2.880 x 720 dpi ...

I brought this printer for just over £300 and it was pretty simple to set up and install the drivers. I have previously brought 2 A4 HP inkjet printers but I needed one that could print A3. With a few niggles in the last HP printer I purchased, I decided to try an Epson and so far I'm not disappointed. The printer may seem quite expensive but it is actually quite reasonable considering that it is an A3 printer. This puts it in the category of serious personal use or light business use rather than for casual home use where an A4 printer will normally suffice. One of the features of the printer is borderless printing. However, in reality this ... Read the complete review
