All-in-one VS dedicated printer and scanner
Review of Epson Stylus DX7400 by
vmrussell1
Advantages: A great all round printer copier for an excellent price
Disadvantages: Memory cards from some cameras may not be supported
...I currently have an Epson R265 which uses 6 inks plus a Canon scanner and was sceptical about All-In-One devices. More to go wrong was my thought. But 49.99 from Staples it was worth the risk and quite honestly for the money, the quality is fantastic. At that price, unless you need very high quality results, this is perfect for Home and Small-business use.
The size of the device:
Has the same footprint as my R265 but save space from not having ... ...devices needs computer and software to scan and print. With All-in-one you switch it on and press the copy button.
Print speed is excellent and colour match is much better than the R265. I will admit that this could be down to me using compatible inks in the old printer - Get what you pay for? Maybe a lesson there.
The R265 was not renowned for normal printing as it is in the Photo-printer class but the DX7400 is designed with that use in mind ...

Great Printer!
Review of Epson Stylus Photo R285 by
Selito206
Advantages: Perfect CD printing, Photo paper printing and normal paper printer quality!
Disadvantages: Large in size and has a few problems in CD printing (as explained in main review)
...ink being not even geniune Epson Ink, was perfect and high quality. The problems that i had was after i set everything up, and was about to test print my first few CDs, the printer said something was blocking the printer head. I had to restart the printer several times, and restart the computer 2 times to get it back to working/printing condition. What i learned was that when you want to print on CDs, you turn on the printer, and wait until it has ... ...ebay, and really it does not affect image quality as i have been using Epson for years and never bought genuine epson branded ink. Plus you can save a lot by buying Epson (in particular R285) because you can buy a CISS system for it reducing your printing costs significantly!!! ...

CANON PIXMA IP4500
Review of Canon PIXMA IP4500 by
Cyber-Mark
Advantages: sleek looks, not the ususal vanilla unit in the corner, quiet
Disadvantages: Slight premium when initially buying the printer, some ink can be expensive
...I was fearful of the Canon ink being at a premium.This has proved not to be the case, with the ink no dearer that other manufacturers. The cartridge set up on this printer lends itself to to ink economy with its separate units, and that is all before you even consider ink re-sellers.
Quiet in operation, superb printing in all modes, including photo reproduction, excellent connectivity and great looks make this a definite recommendation ...

Cheap to buy, costly to run
Review of Epson Stylus D92 by
EviUK
Advantages: Well designed body, smudge-resistant inks
Disadvantages: inaccurate ink gauge, ink dries up, can't clean cartridges individually
The price was cheap. The design of the paper tray is good. This is the first printer I've had where the paper is not either dropped to the floor (my printer is on a shelf) or sucked back into the roller (Cannon) causing a jam. It had a sturdy feel. The set up instructions were inadequate and unnerving with bits of tape which I wasn't sure if I had to pull off or not before using.
Although the ink was expensive, it boasted (and delivered) a reasonable ... ...a document printed on a Cannon!). I liked the idea of separate colour cartridges.
I found the print quality perfectly acceptable and used the printer's options to lower the saturation. Draft quality was too poor to be useful but because the printer allows you save a Print Profile, I could set up a suitable equivalent. This latter feature has been very useful - I could specify paper size and orientation. It would have been more useful if it could ...

HP Just do the job
Review of HP Deskjet D1460 by
com235
Advantages: Small, Quick, Software Great
Disadvantages: Loud
I love this printer. This printer is so small but can print so fast. The thing in my mind that makes this printer stick out to me in my mind is the fact that the driver software on the computer is brill it allows you to choose what type of printing you will be doing for example if you are just going to be printing a page of a website you would just selete general everyday printing. If you were printing a photo you would click on photo printing so ...
