The print quality is exceptional, I have printed a few high quality prints and I think they are as good, if not better than the photo processor's efforts.
My machine cost around £80. and can probably be scourced for less by now.

My machine has been almost fault free, although a little piece of sponge that cleans the inkjet heads, became displaced recently and stopped the black ink output!
One expensive cartridge relacement later, the fault became evident. Although fairly simple to remedy, I thought the item was a bit cheap and tacky.
I think it is important to mention, that careful storage, cleanliness and frequent use, will pay dividends in terms of print quality. This machine, like many printers thrives on plenty of work and a nice dust cover, will help too. Also if you can store your printer in a cool, dry enviroment, you will benefit immensely.
What do you get for your money?
A nice flatbed scanner
An excellent quality printer.
Useful diagnostic and ink monitoring software.
Fast print speeds and good quality at the same time
Generally a machine which is nice to use.
The only downside, that I have seen, is that print cartriges don't last for long, especially if you regularly switch the machine on and off. The ink cartridges are a bit pricey, at least for the genuine ones.
You could use re-fills, but my experience has found some of these to be lacking in terms of both quality and reliability. In simple terms, ' you get what you pay for.'
I have no hesitation in recommending this printer / copier to a prospective buyer.
Consideration must be given to the amount of use,its going to receive,it's worthwhile doing your sums first. Purchase price can represent just a fraction of a machine's whole life costs. It's most important to bear this mind, not just the headline figures!
Advantages: Stand alone copying feature Disadvantages: It got updated very quickly.
...of Stonehenge (twice) and the Epson doesn't disappoint on that score. Once unboxed, the first thing you notice is the size. 17.5 inches length, 19 inches width (When paper is in, and tray is extended) and 8 inches tall (these measurements are approx). It is quite a beast. But you do get a lot for your space. It's a printer, scanner and photocopier all-in-one system.
The Epson plugs into your computer via a USB cable and so long as the software disk ... ...comes with a barrage of epson software to make using your printer a more joyable experience:

Epson Photostarter 3.1 - this is a facilty which helps you download your photo's from a memory card to your PC quicker. This ...

Advantages: All round great quality printer Disadvantages: NONE
...3 colours as per previous epson printers. So it does take 4 cartridges but dont let this put you off as it will save you money!
On top of all this it is possible to get compatible catridges from as little as 89p if you know where to look. I also disagree when people and companies say not to use compatibles but only original inks from epson. I have only ever used epson cartridges when they were supplied with this printer when it was new, ever since ... ...more then £5 to fully change all 4 of my cartridges :0
I am afraid I could go on forever on this printer and would highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for a printer or multifunction printer (and say hands down to lexmark, dell, hp etc...)
Worth every single penny you pay for it (usually around the £60 - 70 mark new online)
Hope this review helps you :o) ...

Advantages: very straight forward to use and compact Disadvantages: slightly noisy
The epson stylus cx 3600 is an all in one printer copier and scanner. It's a nice compact unit and at under £80 is very good value for money.
One of the main features of this unit is the ease of use with single button operation for copying and scanning. The ink cartridges are indivual colours so ink management is made very simple. The unit uses the same ink cartriges as some of the older printers so they are already availible in non epson makes ... ...from ebay}.
I have had this printer now for around six months and have had no problems apart from one right at the beginning. As I said earlier this printer was just under £80, the guy in the store was trying to sell me an extended warranty on the item but it was £40 to extend to three years which on an £80 bit of kit seemed a bit excessive as after one years use{manafactuers warranty} you could just throw it away and start again, he continued to ...
