Advantages: Errmmm....leave me to think for this one
Disadvantages: Slow, terrible quality, hard to find consumables

...about £10 each for genuine epson ones or as little as £5 for compatible ones. ------------ QUALITY ------------ Well it sounds good so far, so whats wrong with it? One thing I really disliked about this printer was its quality. The text produced by the ribbon was very faint, and a grey colour as opposed to black. There was a lot of horizontal banding in most print outs with large white stripes through the text. It also had a tendency to shoot ...
...If it is just Epson thats not good with their Dot matrices then I would recommend them to give them up as a bad job and stick to what their good at...inkjet and lasers. Epson still remain my favourite brand of inkjet and laser printers so maybe they should stick with these and abandon the ever ageing method of dot matrix printing...and hopefully other companies will follow! ...

Advantages: cheap to run, good autofeeding mechanism
Disadvantages: noise

I have had my Epson LQ-300 for ages. It is reliable, easy to use and which is most important factor vety cheap to run (in comparison to these inkjet printers where you have to buy ink once a month). The printer comes with paper autofeeder for 50 pages which is quite useful for automotisation of your tasks. You can leave it printing without worring about paper being jammed because its autofeeding mechanism is well thought through. The only disadvantage ... Read review

Advantages: Inexpensive, Nice design, modern looking, OK for everyday use
Disadvantages: Noisy, takes ages to start up, goes through ink quickly

...had broken. I have a Canon camera and know that Canon is a good well know brand. It also looks nice and modern and has a nice shiny black finish. For the jobs that I want it to do at the moment, it performs well, although I am hoping to print out some large photo prints in the near future, so will be upgrading. For standard photos and written documents, it does the job nicely, although some of the colours on the photos did not come out the same ...
...the printer itself, as my PC may not be set up correctly. The disadvantage is the amount of ink it uses. I have never used so much over the last few months,especially if you are printing out photos - it is not a cheap option. Much cheaper to get them done at processing lab or online. The ink is not cheap for this printer either, compared with other similar printers. Although I have found that even when it says it is empty, there is still actually ... Read review

Advantages: good print quality, cheap copy cartridges, stand alone if needed
Disadvantages: none really

The Epson R300 is a good low cost Photo Printer. It has lots of useful features, for instance you can print direct from a camera, or pop a memory card into the reader on the front. If you're connected to a PC then it can use the memory card reader as well. It is also possible to attach a Bluetooth module and print direct from a camera phone, but I've not tried this. You can buy a colour LCD for it so that you can preview pictures before you print ...
...and it can knock 6x4 prints out in a minute or so. It also has the capability of printing direct onto white coated CD/DVDs if you want to make your Disks look smart! I get my ink from eBay, and this does not seem to massively affect the quality of printouts but is much cheaper. The set up is very straightforward. The printer has a little LCD screen that gives out status messages and other information, so it is worth remembering this before you ... Read review
