I'm quite fond of Epson laser printers, for me they represent good quality and speed at phenomenally low prices. My first Epson laser printer was the EPL 5700L, but things have moved on since then. That was a bog standard, 8 pages per minute printer, but it didn't stop me being impressed, you can read my earlier review on this printer in my archive. But I knew my EPL 5700 wasn't going to last forever, and when I found out it needed its toner replacing which would cost £50, I thought I'd jump in and buy a new one (I was in a spending mood!) When Looking at printers I think theres a few things to bear in mind, so I present to you...

The printer is really easy to use. It works with most of the modern operating systems, including most recently XP, and more earlier versions Windows 2000, Me and 1998. I haven’t tried it with windows 1995 but I’m sure the software will be available from Epson if needs be. As with most new printers you get an installation booklet, and a CD Rom to help you get it installed and you basically follow the on screen instructions, its as easy as one, two, three. Its also easy to network, providing you’ve got all the leads and necessities enable to network it you should find it easy, but don’t take my word for it, I’m using it for the home office so I can’t be certain about networking this particular model. As far as printing itself goes, it’s a matter of pressing print on your computer and watching it print, its simple to turn on and off and the software makes it quick and easy to adjust settings, for example you can adjust it to use different paper sizes or use toner save settings which reduce the toner usage.
----------Overall, I can only recommend this printer. Its fast, with excellent quality and at a very low price making it a tough competitor in the laser printer market. Its also adequate for different needs, both home usage and office usage making it extremely versatile. Okay, we can’t forget the down sides, compatible toners are quite highly priced but for the amount of time they last, its not like you’re going to be replacing them every week. The design is a little bland also but who really cares providing it does its job? Essentially, this is a great laser printer and would make the perfect addition to any home or office.
