Advantages: Stylish, fast printing, quality output, good range of functions Disadvantages: A bit noisy, poor manuals
...I decided to purchase the Epson SX515W as it looked good, had all the features I wanted and was a good price.
Installation
The salesman advised me to set it up on the desktop initially as it would be hard wired via USB. If you hear this don't let it put you off. The set-up works fine even if you have a single laptop but you must ensure the printer is connected to it via USB when the initial printer setup is carried out.
Anyhow, I set the ... ...documents are very quick and clear. Photographs when printed on photo paper are incredible ! Just as good as anything from a shop.
I only had one problem which was not a fault with the printer but I will mention it. I initially couldn't get wireless printing to work. It turned out it was my firewall blocking the request being sent to the printer. I had to manually change my BitDefender settings to allow it to work and its been ok since. As I say, ...
Advantages: Good for making your wallet lighter Disadvantages: Displays NO INK when the inks are really full WHAT A RIP OFF
...printer to replace my aging epson R300 when it finally died......What a mistake. Looked great when i first bought it the scan function was handy and the print quality was top notch. The when the ink was at about half way (3 photo prints) it decided not to recognize the cartridges. No big problem i though they were probably just test cartridges so i bought some more. i only printed about 10 pages in black and white and 1 photo for the next 2 weeks ... ...colors. They were new in EPSON branded. so i cracked them open with a knife to find they were all near full and went and bought some more. 2 weeks later and 4 10x15 photos SAME AGAIN all inks empty. So i phoned epson support who basically told me i would need to just buy more ink and only to use the expensive epson branded cartridge My thoughts EPSON are having a laugh and have the printer programed to display all ink empty after a set time limit ...
Advantages: Looks good Disadvantages: Made difficult to use compatible ink
...six, two of these are Epson SX200s. We have always used compatible ink, and have had no problems what-so-ever with compatibles; however, it would appear, as far as I can see, that Epson have things set up to dismiss my compatible cartridges.
Every time I want to print, a very annoying message flashes up telling me that I am using a compatible cartridge and asking if I want to continue! Well, yes! So I click on the button which then allows me to ... ...EPSON!
My concern is that Epson try to take too much control over our personal choice regarding the ink. If they don't like us using compatible ink (of which we have bought thousands of) then they should reduce their prices. After all if the companies who produce compatible ink make a decent profit out of it, then I reckon Epson can afford to reduce their prices accordingly.
If you intend to use the sensibly priced and equally as reliable compatible ...

Review of Epson SX200
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 ...
