...Epson Stylus DX4200 After having my Epson Stylus DX4000 for a few months I needed a change and decided to upgrade to the next model in the series. As with the other printer it is an all-round great product and has many different features that you are able to use. I found that the printer has many qualities that are same as the DX4000 which include ease of use because it is very easy to use and the printing quality, although it is slightly better than the previous model. The Epson DX4200 offers a complete printing and copying solution for all of the family. It's ideal for nearly everything. It's compatible with all applications and can be used for school projects, web designing, and right down to photo printing. It can be used connected to your computer or you could use it as a standalone printer that allows you to copy documents... Read review

Advantages: Quiet, fast, square, a paper tray plus a feeder and excellent prints.
Disadvantages: Slightly bigger than others of the same price range.

...My previous printer was a Canon i850 - not a bad little printer - but it gave up recently so I started shopping around for a replacement. I half-heartedly looked at other makes, but the price and quality of the Canon printers, together with the price of their cartridges, always drew me back to them. They have a large range that I considered - the IP4200 was the cheapest at around £60, then the IP5200 and I also considered the MP500, an "all-in-one" printer. The specs I looked at were: IP4200 - price around £60, resolution 9600x2400 at 1pl (picolitre - very fine drops of ink), DVD/CD direct printing, one paper tray and one paper feeder. IP5200 - price around £82 and everything else much the same as above, but it had two paper trays. MP500 - price around £120, printer the same as above, but with a scanner/copier working at 1200x...
