Amateur Photographer Awards 2009
Printer of the Year: Epson Stylus Photo R2880

Amateur Photographer. These awards are the result of a review of over 250 items and a year's worth of testing. The winners are the most outstanding products of the year.
Digital Photographer Magazine #79 : The R2880 was put head-to-head with the Canon Pixma Pro 9500 in the Digital photographer magazine, issue 79. The R2880 received 9/10 and an Editors Choice award. "'Canon has done its best, however nothing gets close to the R2880 as Epson raises the bar again."
