This printer from Epson is specifically for printing photos with its six colour ink and fast printing black, this R285 is the replacement of the R265.
The look of the paper hold is conventional, with folding support at the rear and a pull out, telescopic output tray at the front. The CD/DVD tray slots into this output tray.
Epson claims a print speed of 37ppm for black and 38ppm for colour for the Stylus Photo R285. That's about as fast as the Xerox Phaser 6360V/N which costs a couple hundred.
12 seconds for a 15 x 10cm photo print and 16s in draft mode. Although you can tell the difference between a draft print and a best quality print. The draft mode print feels a bit tacky when it comes out of the printer, though, so needs a drying off period.
