When the need arose for a new printer there was only ever one name in the frame and that name was Epson. Epson for years now have been top of the field when it comes to printing from home and even their top of the range printers get full marks from the pro printers and photographers.
I have very limited printing needs so when my eyes caught sight of the Epson SX200 I thought that it would be perfect and after several weeks of use I can honestly say I was correct. This printer makes it so easy to copy, scan, and print everything from basic text documents to colour photos it is unbelievable.
The Durabrite inks that it uses offer great photo reproduction but don't worry if you are looking to replace genuine Epson inks with compatible cheaper options then this printer does accept those inks even though Epson would have us believe otherwise.
This printer has a maximum printing speed of up to 44 pages per minute but it is of course a fair bit slower when printing full colour glossy photos. One of the most impressive things for me was how quiet this printer is, it is virtually silent when in operation unlike some of the earlier Epson's that were known to be a little noisy and have a lot of movement.
It connects to your PC quickly through high speed USb and it is very easy to install, the software that it comes with is also very easy to use and the instruction manual explains everything very, very clearly. I have not needed Epson`s after care service with this particular item but I can tell you from past experience that if you do need them they are excellent.
I would recommend this printer to anyone needing a versatile printer but if you are looking to be mainly printing glossy photos then you should really upgrade to a higher end R series Epson. This printer cost me just £43 several weeks ago but already I notice it has been reduced to an unbelievable £35 in some places and at that price it is a must have!
Advantages: wireless Disadvantages: not easy to connect to pc via usb
I'm no tech wizard but this was extremely easy to install and packs down well when not in use with the pull out sections for paper. Its convience is amazing! no longer do i need to download photos from the camera or phone,I can plug it in via the usb or memery card slots select my image and print, and its even wireless! so I dont have to move my laptop every time i want to print a document.I cant imagine how much money I'm going to save only having ...

Advantages: Lost cost, Affordable ink refils, easy to use and set up. Disadvantages: Noisy, No screen for memory card printing.
I purchased this printer partly due to the ever increasing costs of ink for my old HP and partly as it was very cheap (£34.99)
Its has now been in use for 3 months and performs well for your average family needs. The copy function is simple to use, just select the number of copies and press either colour or B/W button and away it goes. It was easy to set up and install both with windows and MAC OS using the supplied cd rom. Print speed is surprisingly ... ...little longer than average, but the image qualit with the dura-brite ink is very good. I have not got anything old enough to know how it fades with time as of yet. The colours look reasonably true to life and printing from the memory card slots is extremely simple, allthough a small screen would have been nice to enable easier selection of which picture to print, but this would have most probably dramatically increased the cost.
The printer does ...

Advantages: Excellent print quality, Looks good, Ink not that expensive Disadvantages: None
...printer because I had used Epson before and had no problems with them. I also liked the look of the printer because of its glossy black finish on the scanner lid. I checked the price of ink for a few printers I was looking at and found the ink for this printer to be cheaper than others. It takes 4 ink cartridges.
The software that came with the printer was easy to install.
I have used the printer for printing text and photographs onto A4 and 6x4 ... ...the printer is very easy to use. You select what size paper you are using and print. It can print up to 34 page per minute and the paper tray can hold 120 sheets.
It can also be used for photocopying. You select whether you want a colour or black and white copy and the number of copies you want. It can copy up to 30 pages per minute.
The scanner is very good and easy to use. You put whatever you are scanning into the scanner and open up the software ...

Advantages: Copying and Scanning are fine Disadvantages: I have had loads of trouble getting it to print after replacing the ink
...asked me to review the Epson Stylus SX200 when I first got it, I may well have agreed with some of the other reviewers who rant about what good value for money it is. However, after owning one for about a year, my opinion has changed somewhat. The scanning and copying are first rate, I don't have a bad thing to say about them and, for the first six months, I would have said the print quality is ok for the price (you have to use the Best Photo setting ... ...fault for not using genuine Epson inks but I am not one of the priveledged few that can afford to buy the genuine article every time they need replacing. Anyway, changing the cartridges very often resulted in prints with a purple or orange tint - so logically you clean the print-head. Unfortunately, cleaning the print head consumes ink and, by the time you have cleaned the print-head enough to remove any colour bias, the cartridges are being flagged ...
