Photo-I has a rather in-depth review of the new Epson desktop photo printer, the 2880. This thing looks like the beef-ed up little brother of the Epson 3800. They say:

Today Epson announces the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 A3+ printer, a direct replacement for the much loved R2400. The R2880 is aimed at the (Semi) - Pro and Advanced Amateur who doesn’t need a high volume output printer, but still wants to use a wide variety of media types and produce high quality B/W prints The R2880 boasts an impressive list of new features and specifications, that should satisfy a broad user base the new features include:

• UltraChrome K3 ink set with Vivid Magenta

• Epson new LUT technology (Look Up Table) for ultra smooth gradations

• Roll and Fine Art media support

• Front feed for specialist rigid media (up to 1.3mm thick)

• CD/DVD printing (using inkjet printable discs)

• Dual USB 2.0 ports (connect 2 computer to the printer)

• Front PictBridge port for direct printing from a digital camera or photo viewer
