Epson Stylus DX4000
Well were can I start with this printer. Its an all round great product, it has many different functions and features which will help any user along the way to making you pictures or images better and processing your paperwork quicker. Whilst using this printer I found that it was very easy to use from the very simple buttons that are on the top of the printer towards the left. All of the buttons are very easy to use and you really couldn't go wrong with it.
The Epson DX4000 offers a complete printing and copying solution for all of the family. Its ideal for nearly everything. Its compatible with all applications and can be used for school projects, web designing, right down to photo printing. It can be used connected to your computer or you could use it as a standalone printer that allows you to copy documents in black and white or colour. Its your choice. The printer is very easy to use and will meet everybody's needs.
Well here is some of specification of the printer. The black cartridge has 90 nozzle heads The colour cartridges each have 29 nozzle heads The print resolution 5760 x 1440 dpi It can print up to 23 pages per minute in black text size A4 It can print up to 12 pages per minute in colour text size A4 It takes approximately 94 seconds to print a high quality photo image in colour. The DX4000 takes approximately 5.3 seconds to copy an A4 sheet of black text The DX4000 takes approximately 12.1 seconds to copy an A4 sheet of colour text The printer has a scan resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi
All of the things above are what makes this such a great printer. It has very fast printing and copying times for both black and white and also colour. The printers paper tray can hold up to one hundred sheets of A4 at any one time which is quite a lot considering it's a home printer and not designed for industry etc. the printer can print on to a range of paper sizes which make it even better for the user as they may want to print smaller things or may even want to print on to photo paper etc.
The thing that makes this printer even better is that it can run on almost any operating system. It can run on Windows 98SE / ME / 2000 / XP / Mac OS 10.2.5 or later. It can run on a great amount of operating systems and since XP is now the most widely used operating system that is even better for the user. The printer is also quite large for a printer because it is an all in one meaning it can print, scan and copy. The DX4000 has dimensions 430mm(w) x 345mm(D) x 172mm(H) and it also has a very light weight of 5.7kg, which means it will be very easy for you to move around etc.
I think that this is an excellent printer because of all of these features because its very fast, can copy, scan and also print which is everything that I need. I feel that Epson could improve on this model by maybe having an LCD screen at the front showing information about what you are doing and maybe allowing you to change the dpi of what you want to scan etc. also maybe to make it even better they could install a media card reader into the printer and allow you to print pictures straight from the memory cars or from the camera.
The printer ha a high resolution and great quality printing which makes this printer very good and makes me want to use it even more. Whenever I want to print off some family photos Iall I have to do is get on my computer and print them off with the DX4000 this way they look like original photos if I use the correct paper and therefore there is no need to go and spend a fortune at the photo developing shop.
Eventually the printer will run out of ink but what printer doesn't. Ink can be bought from most good computer stores and even from the internet. In the shops ink can be purchased for around £6.99 a cartridge. There are four cartridges in a printer so in theory if I wanted to replace all of my ink at the same time then it would cost me £27.96. but if this is too expensive for you then there are some sites on the internet that will do them for cheaper for each cartridge which will cost you around £15.00 for a set of ink, you would also be able to get the cartridges from places like computer fairs where ink will also be cheaper. This way it saves you a lot of money so that the printer becomes even more cost effective.
I find that buying cartridges from these kinds of places saves me a lot of money so that I can spend them on other things. There is a site on the internet that sells ink called ink cartridges direct that allows you to purchase ink for cheaper and every time you purchase a set of ink they send you an extra black cartridge for free, now that I have found this website I find that I'm never low on ink and its great.
The printer itself is great value for money as well because it can be bought from Epson directly for £59.99 which means that it will be cheaper in other places such as Amazon.co.uk and other computer sites. I purchased my printer less than six months ago and I have never had a problem with it since the day I got it. It comes with a driver and utility installation disc that takes you through the process of installing your printer although most XP operating systems will install it automatically for you.
The printer is great value for money and I would recommend it to anybody who is looking for a great, cost effective all in one printer.
Thank you greatly for reading my review and hope to be hearing from you soon.
Advantages: Competent scanning and printing for a bargain price Disadvantages: Not the best photo quality you could hope to achieve
...and printer came with genuine Epson ink cartridges, I thought I might as well buy it rather than bother trying to fix and re-ink the CX38000. Set up was easy and simply a case of connecting the power plug to the back of the printer and plugging it in. I used the USB lead off my old printer to connect the new printer to my computer (printers rarely come with a USB lead - that's a whole other story) then I switched it on. There was a disc included ... ...cartridges. As with most Epson printers, you can access the "print properties" from you PC and select "clean nozzles" to get this issue speedily resolved but it's annoying nonetheless. Minor criticisms of the print capabilities are that I get a bit annoyed waiting so long when I'm printing a lot of photos and the photo quality isn't in the same league as if you'd bought Kodak printed snaps from the chemist. For most people I don't suppose they'd ...

Advantages: Good quality for a cheaper printer, fairly compact, combined printer & scan, quick Disadvantages: none, except got to buy the cable to hook it up to your PC seperately.
...search results was for this EPSON STYLUS DX4000 Multi-Function jobbie for £49.94 - It cost a few pence less than my old Xerox, yet as well as a printer had a built-in scanner + photocopying facility.
Come Sunday night, I decided, ah what the hell, I'll buy it........ and thus my bank account was relieved of £58.63 (Cost of the printer + express delivery to get it by Tuesday). Well, Tuesday arrived, and 11:30am it was here......... getting it out ... ...it out via the protective polystyrene blocks on each side, while holding onto the box with my feet, then swinging the printer over onto the diningtable in the livingroom before it fell out of the polystyrene blocks (and believe me, it felt like it could happen any second).
Once you've got it out of the polystyrene blocks, all that is left to do is peel off the protective plastic from various places, and remove the blue sticky-tape holding it's flaps ...

Advantages: All in one machine, Very economical ink system, quick printing, photocopier Disadvantages: It's quite big, USB cable not provided
As a student, printing is a necessity for assignments and research. Going into University just to print off work or photocopy a page out of a book was becoming a chore of unnecessary proportions that pushed me to go out and get a printer for myself. With tasks such as photocopying, scanning and most notably printing, it was pretty certain I would be needing an 'all-in-one' solution to meet the crushing demands of a university education. From looking ... ...most for me, mainly due to the ink system that it adopts. Instead of purchasing one printer cartridge for colour and one for black, you buy each one separately, meaning you need Black, Yellow, Cyan and Magenta for the printer to be full of ink. The advantage of this is if you need to replace a cartridge, instead of replacing the lot of them, you can just replace the colour in question. The software that comes with the printer informs you of the ink ...

Advantages: 3 in one, quick, fairly quiet and reliable Disadvantages: The paper tray could do with being longer if you print many pages at once.
...owner of a number of Epson printers over the years, and suffience to say, I've never been impressed. I used a basic HP printer for 3 years and had no trouble with it but it was fairly limited in what it had to offer.
I was browsing through the offers in Currys one fine afternoon and saw the Epson Stylus DX 4000 on the shelf, at a very reasonable price of less than £60 (I can't remember the exact price now).
Anyway, it is a multi purpose printer, ... ...slightly hesitant at purchasing another Epson product.
I decided to give it a go and well, I've never looked back. In a year and a half, I've never had any problems with the printer, and it prints very accurately every time.
What's even better is the fact that you can replace single segments of the ink (so if you need a Cyon, but needn't spend money on a block of 3 colours). This means that your money goes further!
The scanner is ideal for general ...
