The Epson Stylus Photo R380 raises the bar for photo inkjet printers. With industry-leading measures in speed, picture resolution and printer efficiency, this photo inkjet printer steps away from the “amateur photo hobbyist” territory and blazes a path of its own. The 6-ink individual cartridge system delivers resolution values of up to 5760x1440dpi, while the DX5 printing technology optimizes color saturation, tone gradation, and improves fine lines and the overall graininess of the photo.


The Claria Hi-Definition Ink marks the highest notch in the industry, providing photos with the outstanding quality and longevity that you’d expect from your nearby one-hour-photo lab—even your mid-scale photo studio—but can have at the convenience of your own home. Photos are water, scratch and fade resistant, with storage values greater than 200 years.


Experts love the Epson Stylus Photo R380 for its speed and consistency. Those familiar with photo inkjet printers know of the problems with paper jams and molasses-slow printing. With the Epson Stylus Photo R380, photo printing speeds near those of competitors’ color text printing speeds, and yet this photo inkjet printer only jams 1 out of every 100 prints, less than a tenth of its competitors. Users praise the Epson Stylus Photo R380 for the quality of its prints. Whether its photos, CD and DVD surfaces/covers or digital video stills, the Epson Stylus Photo R380 does it all—and how.


There’s no need to wait around for improvements in photo inkjet printer technology. They’re already here, and Epson Stylus Photo R380 has them all.

One of the key benefits when printing from the R380 itself is true borderless printing on borderless papers—without wasting paper on test prints. Yes, the printer did do some cropping on its own to fit the paper, but nothing egregious. Producing what I...
