Epson LCD projector lamp

Advantages: Print quality, low price, individual inks
Disadvantages: Slightly bulky design

...I purchased this printer for the kids to do homework, but have used it more for myself. The print quality is exceptional. i.e better than a lot of those photo booths you find in Boots etc. You can print to the very edge of all paper sizes upto A4. For this level of print quality at under £100 is great value for money. I found the Claria ink pack for under £40 including delivery. This is for 6 ink cartridges, so under £7 per colour. I prefer to use seperate colours as you only have to replace the colour used rather than an entire combined colour cartridge. As with all photo printers the best results come with using the best photo paper, and amazingly this printer was bundled with a pack of 7x5 Epson Premium Glossy paper. I tend to use this printer for making A4 size copies of select photos. It really does justice to high... Read review

Advantages: excellent all round while working
Disadvantages: Subject to ink problems but Ok with insurance

...The Epson Sylus Photo R285 is an excellent printer while it is working. In 12 months I have had two of these printers and both have have had the same fault, that being the sudden inability to recognise full ink cartridges and mule like refusing to budge in any direction.This problem occurs about 2-3 months into its use and seems to be brought on by changing one cartridge. Technical support recognise that there is a fault with apparently no remedy. Fortunately i took out a 3 year guarantee with this and PC World have change the printer. An excellent printer but I would recommend any purchaser to take out an insurance. I am going back for a third but I think this might be the last if the fault occurs again!... Read review

Advantages: Portable, quick to turn on/off, very easy to set up and use.
Disadvantages: Loud cooling system, rubbish internal speaker.

...three devices can be connected. Switching via signal sources is very simple, remote control has three default buttons (computer, video, composite), each one for different device display. Focus is manually adjustable next to lens. It has vertical keystone (+-30; must have in modern projectors) and display can be electronically shifted off centre up, down, left or right (about 10% of it's width/height). Projector has build in mono speaker (audio signal input by double audio line-in), but not loud (only 1 Watt) so it's usage is limited. Bulb life cycle is 2000h in normal mode (does anyone use economic mode at all?) which is standard in that price range. Replacement bulb is about £120, and is dead easy to fit in. Epson give 3 years warranty for S3 body and 90 days for lamp. In my opinion, it's fair deal. Now my experience with that product... Read review
