Customer Reviews:

You can print on anything!.......2006-08-14

I purchased this printer while I was still in college (in 2001) and it saved me a ton of money on large-format printing costs. Since then, I have used it as a freelancer for various design projects and it has always produced wonderful prints. I'm able to use papers of all sizes and also print on other various medias (such as watercolor paper and even stiff fabrics). Every once-in-a-while, the heads tend to clog, but I've usually been able to fix that. That's common for all ink jets, especially when printing in large quantities. It's been about 5 years and I'm considering buying another SP1280 rather than upgrading to the newer model.

Good and Bad.......2006-02-22

The good:

I have had the 1280 for about 7 months now. I love the color and the fact that I can get ink cartridges for cheap to fit it and they work fine. As long as you print ONE sheet at a time it works very very nicely. I repeat: ONE.

The bad:

This thing has a horrible sheet feeder from hell. I wish Epson would change the technology on this because the 780 had the same problem. It wants to eat a whole stack of paper at once. It doesnt matter how I put them in, whether i fan the sheets, nothing.... so you end up babysitting it when you are doing 10 prints or 20 prints, whatever.

I'm doing a multi-print project right now and i think it can hear me because it just ate another stack of paper... argghhhhhh!

ONE OF THE BEST EPSON PRINTERS EVER MADE.......2004-11-04

I have owned my Epson Stylus 1280 for over a year and a half now and have never once experienced any type of problem with this unit what so ever! I only use aftermarket Abacus Ink and have yet to have a glogged printhead issue. I use this printer to print images taken from my Olympus C 8080 widezoom at 8 megs.
The printouts are perfect! Epson has just released a new driver for XP which can be downloaded at the Epson site to bring this 1280's resolutions all the way up to 5620 x 720!

The 5th star would be Linux drivers from Epson.......2004-11-02

My 1280 died over the weekend. So I did some shopping and bought an HP Photosmart 7760. I figured I'd save some money and wait to get a larger-format printer later.

It was a bad move. The HP is going back, and I've ordered a second 1280. I used my first one hard. For two years. I used it for everything -- normal documents, and lots and lots of digital artwork on matte paper.

Amazon currently has about the best price on ink cartridges and matte paper around.

I did my own tests on the inks -- both water resistance and ultraviolet light resistance. My Bic pen that marked the sample faded in two weeks of sunlight, but not my printed image! (I put a control in my filing cabinet to compare to.) I will not buy compatible cartridges, because I've already investigated the quality of the Epson ink and paper myself. I sell what I print for $185 a page. Sometimes a little less. With framing, more.

If you are a Linux user (and if you don't know what that means or you aren't sure, you can disregard this), you are in for a tough trip. The gimp-print drivers don't come close to matching the Epson Windows drivers for color quality. Not one little bit. Bug Epson about this. There are some adjustments possible with gimp-print, but it would be entirely trial-and-error. [MARCH 2, 2006 -- The gimp-print drivers have gotten much better. You'll be happy now.]

I don't suggest going to the HP side to fix the Linux problem. HP says they "support" over 200 printers with Linux drivers, but the one I happened to try was abysmal. It couldn't even center the image on the page, Gimp didn't work at all, and neither did OpenOffice. At least with my Epson 1280, I have a little printing support (albeit with crummy colors).

If you've used other Epson printers, the 1280 might have slightly different color rendering. I had a Stylus Photo 820 which produced beautiful blues for sky and water. On the Stylus Photo 1280 (under Windows -- we're no longer on the Linux subject), these blues were more grey. I wish the 1280 came with the 820's coloring.

One other thing I like about the 1280: you can print very close to the bottom of the page. Not all the way, but closer than many other printers. This is very helpful.

I wish Epson made an affordable six-color printer like the 1280 with a wider format, perhaps 17" or 22". In my view, they don't.

One warning; Epson claims that the 1280 can print up to 13" x 44". I haven't found a supplier for paper that size. Epson doesn't seem to sell any. At least not in matte finish.

I never print glossy stuff (longevity considerations), so don't consider me to be any kind of authority on glossy stuff.

Very Disappointing.......2004-01-23

I just bought the 1280 and I am extremly disappointed. I had a Canon i9100 for a couple of weeks, but returned it because it didn't print 11x14 borderless prints. The Epson did, so I bought it. Upon comparing the Canon i9100 to the Epson 1280, there really is no comparison. The Canon has vivid, and true color, the Epson prints couldn't come close to the Canon prints no matter what I did. The Canon is lightning fast. Even at it's highest resolution settings. The Epson is painstakingly slow at any setting other than draft mode. I was really hoping the Epson would work out for me, but no such luck. I'm returning the Epson and re-purchasing the Canon i9100. I'll just have to print out at 11x17 and trim off three inches when I need 11x14 prints. The $100 price difference for the Canon is well worth it.

Product Description

Make a smart investment and revolutionize your visual experience with the groundbreaking 20" NEC MultiSync LCD2080UX, a flat-panel monitor that boasts a multitude of leading-edge capabilities. This model's ultra-thin-frame design, along with its advanced functionality and productivity-enhancing technologies, could easily make it the most intelligent visual display solution to date.

From the Manufacturer

A 20-inch (20.1-inch viewable image) TFT LCD display from NEC/Mitsubishi, the LCD2080UX+ is a sleek and stylish monitor that delivers a high-quality image and a number of useful features. A maximum resolution of 1,600 x 1,200, fast 25 ms response time, and 0.255 mm dot pitch combine with a 350:1 contrast ratio, 250 nits of brightness, and up to 16.7 million colors to provide detailed, true-to-life images suitable for a wide variety of home and professional uses.

Wide-Angle Viewing

In conventional LCDs (top), liquid crystals stand on end, resulting in a narrow viewing angle. Wide-angle technology (bottom) lets light pass through the crystals at their most efficient orientation for a dramatically wider angle.

With a small 17.4-by-7.9-inch footprint, the LCD2080UX+ fits easily onto any convenient surface and is also wall mountable, freeing up desktop space completely. 176-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles provide visual clarity from nearly any location, while the anti-glare, anti-static screen treatment helps cut back on harmful reflections and the resulting eye-strain.

With onscreen controls, you can adjust a wide variety of monitor settings, including brightness, contrast, H/V position, H/V size, color temperature, and more. The height of the monitor is adjustable by as much as 2.8 inches, while a screen rotation feature lets you use your display in either portrait or landscape mode.

TCO '95 and Energy Star certified, the LCD2080UX+ is a plug-and-play unit, ready to use right out of the box. Despite its large screen, it weighs just 21.3 pounds. It supports VGA analog, DVI-D, and DVI-I digital video signals and connects to your computer via a 15-pin mini D-sub male to DVI-A cable (supplied), or a DVI-D to DVI-D cable (also supplied). The universal 100 (110-240V) 50-60Hz internal power supply consumes about 54 W during normal operation and less than 1 W during standby. PC and Mac compatible, the LCD2080UX+ also comes backed with a three-year limited warranty.

Mediocre remote. Inferior to other philips remotes.......2007-02-20

This remote controller was quite a dissapointment. I am using two other Philips/Magnavox remotes that are far more convenient and operate better. This one does not look like the picture (which looks more like the 425 model). It does not cover the equipment I have (while the 425 model does), It's learning mode is flaky and unreliable, to say the least. The range is shorter then that of the 425S. Conclusion: This would make for a nice ornament (It does look nice, and, if you are lucky you may be able to control some devices.

Phillips remote control.......2006-12-14

The remote that you receive is a phillips learning remote but is not even close to what they show and describe. They list size to be 11x4x1 it is really 6x2x 1/2 inches. The buttons are entirely different and 8 of them are not there. I give it 3 stars because I am able to make it work with my equipment but would give it zero for what it looks like.

Excellent, inexpensive remote.......2006-11-10

Very easy to set up. Works with Sony HDTV, Sony VCR, Toshiba DVD and Pioneer Receiver. I haven't yet checked out the DVD thoroughly. The menus work for the TV and VCR. Only drawbacks are that buttons are not lit for use in dark and there is no time display.

Wrong Picture.......2006-10-16

Beware !!!!!!!!! The picture of this remote is NOT what Amazon is sending out. And the one that I received had some buttons with blue printing that can only be seen under a very bright light and at a close up angle. I was trying to get a remote similar to the one purchased elsewhere and this one appeared identical but what I received was not what was pictured. Also this remote is not as powerful as my old one - so you have to point it more toward the device. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZON !!!!!!!!!!!

Not "Universal" enough.......2005-09-16

I have been deparatley searching for a low cost remote that would operate at least one of my two DVD players. I guess I'm still searching... This remote is very comfortable in the hand with good button layout. I would like to recomend it, but I can't. I have two popular DVD players, and can't find a cheap universal to operate them?! One is a cheap "Cyberhome" and the other is a Panasonic DVD / VCR combo. You would think the universal remotes would have cought up to these common players. If you can, check for your specific models codes before purchasing.
