Full review
I have been a HP user for a number of years but now decided that due to the cost of cartridges to try an Epson.

The Epson CX3200 is quite a cheap purchase in the big scheme of things, less than £90, for a scanner / printer all in one so I thought why not!

On opening the box I had the unit printing colour in 20 minutes, everything including USB lead is there in the box. My PC running XP had no problems. Next came scanning, again dead easy, once the software is installed you just hit the scan button and up pops a menu asking you what software you want to use to import the scan, a couple of clicks and there is the preview!

So with everything working, is the printer up to scratch for home use, oh yes! The printer produces just what you want, quick black text at a good quality or, if you have the correct paper and the time a lovely borderless A4 photo in full technicolour!

What more can I say about the performance - well nothing more that this is good enough for any home office. This is a nice scanner and a nice printer all in one!

Now onto a feature a didn't think I would use as much as I do - photocopying - this is great, open the lid, out in your item, close it, hit black or colour copy butting and you are done - a perfect copy every time.

Well the costs - as I said the printer is cheap and the cartridges can be if you are willing to put in compataible ones and not Epson. The cartridges are chipped making them a bit more expensive but I have bought them for around £2 by buying in 3's from ebay!

Now all the good points have been said, my only gripe it this! When trying to print on thicker media the feed system is a bit fussy - basically it will not reliably print on card - saying that as it is a straight through feed system and not a 'hp style bend-it-over' feed it will cope better than hp machines as long as you have the time to get retrying! Oops forgot to mention this printer is quite noisy too - just a case of turning up the music if you are on a large print run!

Thats about it for my review - there are loads of places on the net for specification details etc etc so there is no need for me to repeat those.

So all in all for a nice scanner / printer all in one for good quality printing at a cost you can afford then go for it!
