Expert review by : Matthew Richards (techradar.com)
It offers A2 photo prints, but is bigger really better?
Extra-large A2 printing in great quality and at sizes up to 17x37.4 inches
Printer and cartridges are pricey
Lacks a little of the R3000's finesse, but a good option if you can afford it.

Designed to sit on your desk (although it'll have to be a pretty big desk), the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 is more like a regular inkjet on steroids. Something that makes it useful for all kinds of users – from design studios to professional photographers...
The Epson Stylus Pro 3880 is that most remarkable of things – a desktop A2+ printer that's quiet, easy to use and which produces great-looking prints. Ideal for use in a small offices, photo studios and for printer proofs, we simply can’t recommend it...

Con l'impiego dell'avanzato sistema UltraChrome K3 Epson di quarta generazione con inchiostri a pigmenti Vivid Magenta per stampe di alta qualità e che durano nel tempo fino al formato A2+ sia in bianco e nero che a colori, la Epson Stylus Pro 3880...

Most A2+ printers are enormous things you need plenty of office space for, but not the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 . Designed to sit on your desk – although it'll have to be a pretty big one – and with a simple top-controlled panel and stylish matt black...
Produces great-looking prints; compact and quiet; automatically switches between blacks
No paper roll option; software installer needs updating

Boasting big prints from a small footprint: the Epson Stylus Pro 3880.
Expert review by (ephotozine.com)
Epson update their compact large format printer with the Stylus Pro3880. Can the A2 printer produce exhibition quality images.
Small footprint for a large format printer; Wonderful quality images; Economical inks; Good colour reproduction
Head strikes ruined some paper
Expert review by : Kevin Carter (macuser.co.uk)
Epson's new Stylus Pro 3880 is the much-longed-for replacement to the best-selling, competitively priced A2+ Stylus Pro 3800. That model garnered praise for the quality of colour and mono output, as well as the ability to print on a wide range of...
If we're being honest, print quality between the two models is difficult to discern, but that's not a criticism of the Stylus Pro 3880. By all accounts, the move to a wider gamut with the Vivid Magenta inks is to be applauded
Expert review by : Techworld (techworld.com)
As much as we all might want some magical desktop photo printer that costs next to nothing and produces prints for even less, the fact remains that the Stylus Pro 3800 was a great product that sat uniquely in the market, with no real competition. The...

For outstanding home prints up to A2+, look no further than the Epson Stylus Pro 3880.
Expert review by (pcmag.com)
Although the 3880 lacks a roll feeder, it has three paper-feeding methods: a main top-loading feeder that holds up to 50 sheets of photo paper up to 17 by 22 inches, or 120 sheets of plain paper. A second, single-sheet top feeder is optimized for...
Professional-grade output. Prints at paper sizes up to 17 by 24 inches. Multiple paper feeds
Though exquisite, both graphics and photos showed a few minor flaws. No option to print from paper rolls
The Epson Stylus Pro 3880 professional photo printer is a great choice both for professional photographers and for amateurs thinking of taking the leap into a career in photography.
