What is the difference between the Epson pro 3880 Standard Edition and the Designer Edition and the Signature Worthy Edition. I cannot see the differences listed anywhere?

Hi Lynne, I believe it has to do with what comes with the printer. The printer is the same either way, but Signature Worthy Edition includes a nice assortment of fine art papers and maybe something else. I am not sure since I ordered the Standard Edition, but that is what I heard. I had the same question when I ordered. I was okay with the Standard Edition provided the printer was the same, and I understand it is.~Linda

All are the exact same machine. The 'Designer' and 'Signature Worthy' Editions come with extra software for professional printing use. Check this link:www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=70234.0

It is the same printer, just the ColorBurst RIP software is different (or what ever software package is being offered with the printer). The Standard Edition does not come with the ColorBurst RIP software, that's the price difference.

I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same. That's the major upgrade from the 8600 as far as I can tell. The deciding factor was poor software reviews for the Epson bundle. My profession is end-user software development. There's no way I want to deal with someone's poor UI or feature set or compatibility issues. I just want to scan my family photos. I own the full Photoshop CS so I can basically clean up anything. My guess is for the average user there should be no marked difference between the scratch and dust removal capabilities or the scan densities or lightbar output. Ease of use pays off every time you start the thing up. Hope this helps. I went with the 8800 v th Epson v500. It has the LED lightbar - same.

Hello, between both editions is no difference in functinality. The difference is in the number of cameras and lenses which are supported in either edition. If you camera is on the list of supported optical modules in the Standard edition, you should be fine with it. To make sure that your equipment is supported, please check in advance on the DxO website: http://www.dxo.com/intl/photography/dxo-optics-pro/supported-equipment With kind regards, Heike Precht Support Team DxO Labs

I have an Artisan 810, and the cartridge description OMITS the Artisan 725. These cartridges DO replace Epson 98 which the Epson 725 uses; so the description might be incomplete; but you never know if there is some peculiarity with the 725.There are some other cartridges similar in price that DO list the Artisan 725; so I would either contact the vendor of this product or try one of those other listings.

I studied that one as an option as well and it was well reviewed but the Epson is LCD and also does 3D. Also the Epson is the leading brand in the category so I went with it.

If you are spending $439 USD for it, then it should be the Pro version, not academic. This looks like the full version to me. I say go for it!

Pro vs standard, color is a little different and pro includes some extras like the notebook and some refills.

No, it's identical to the full retail version. The difference is in the licensing and who is eligible for a student & teacher edition. If you qualify, you will be required to provide proof to Adobe. Also, the student & teacher edition does not include a license key. Instead, you must contact Adobe, furnish proof of your student or teach status, and they will provide you with a key. http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentteacheredition/eligibility.html

In comparison of the two flatbed scanners a few things stick out. The Epson Perfection 5000 is editors choice at PC Mag. In all fairness the Canon 8800 is not rated. However, the model it replaced, 8600, was the previous editors choice and was top rated by Consumer Reports. Just comparing the star ratings of the two the Canon has only 4 and above rating whereas the Epson has 1 and above ratings. In written reviews the Epson seems to have more software and hookup issues than the Canon. Yet, it has better reviews on scan quality such as scratch and dust removal and better negative scans. So, what's more important ease of use or scan quality. In comparison of the two flatbed scanners a few things stick out. The Epson Perfection 5000 is editors choice at PC Mag.

http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/ It says that it is two editions thus implying two different versions. Sorry that nobody replied to this. Kind of rude isn't it?

I use an Epson Artisan 50 and haven't experienced that problem. I've had very pleasing results with the JVC Watershield DVDs. Bright . crisp and sharp photos on the glossy surface. I also haven't had even one bad DVD and I'm well into my second 50 pack. I've had bad ones with every other brand I've used before.

This is the Standard. Also a little FYI, The Colorburst RIP that comes with the Pro model only supports the additional ICC profiles of Epson media. If you want to use other papers its better to buy the RIP seperately

Besides the price difference, the 8620 has slightly faster printing (21ppm vs 19ppm), larger control panel screen (4.3" touchscreen vs. 2.65" no touch), the auto doc feeder handles 50 sheets vs. 35, and the 8620 will handle legal-size copying vs. letter-size limit for the 8610. I bought the 8620 because I wanted the extra features, and the price difference of approx. $30 was not that much for me. FYI - either of these printers will start-up quickly within 1 minute it is ready to go (no printhead cleaning constantly!). Hope this helps... good luck

I purchased this in March, 2010. I don't recall having any trouble with it. I can only assume it is the actual one manufactured and sold by Epson. Keep in mind that this is standard capacity and you won't get as much "mileage" out of it as you would the high capacity cartridges (which are a bit more expensive). I've since been purchasing the high capacity cartridges at Staples, Walmart, or Target, depending on who has the better price at any time.

I have had the Epson Artisan 800 for a few years. I have only used OEM High-capacity (98) Epson cartridges to date. (The 99 cartridges are Standard-capacity). They still cost me about $16 USD per cartridge. These 18 cartridges cost less than $10 USD (for all 18). They are marked "T98". If they are using the same number convention as the OEMs, then they are High-capacity cartridges. I cannot comment on the quality because I still have one set of OEM left (not counting what is currently in the printer). However, I can say that even the OEM cartridges can sometimes leak onto the edges of a printout, although rarely. I have had the Epson Artisan 800 for a few years.

The printer described here is the Standard. The rip model is 1495 at the epson site and is called the Professional Edition.
