Advantages: Works fantastically well and is very inexpensive. Disadvantages: ?
...and that name was Epson. Epson for years now have been top of the field when it comes to printing from home and even their top of the range printers get full marks from the pro printers and photographers.
I have very limited printing needs so when my eyes caught sight of the Epson SX200 I thought that it would be perfect and after several weeks of use I can honestly say I was correct. This printer makes it so easy to copy, scan, and print everything ... ...are looking to replace genuine Epson inks with compatible cheaper options then this printer does accept those inks even though Epson would have us believe otherwise.
This printer has a maximum printing speed of up to 44 pages per minute but it is of course a fair bit slower when printing full colour glossy photos. One of the most impressive things for me was how quiet this printer is, it is virtually silent when in operation unlike some of the earlier ...

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 ...

Advantages: Excellent print quality, Looks good, Ink not that expensive Disadvantages: None
...printer because I had used Epson before and had no problems with them. I also liked the look of the printer because of its glossy black finish on the scanner lid. I checked the price of ink for a few printers I was looking at and found the ink for this printer to be cheaper than others. It takes 4 ink cartridges.
The software that came with the printer was easy to install.
I have used the printer for printing text and photographs onto A4 and 6x4 ... ...the printer is very easy to use. You select what size paper you are using and print. It can print up to 34 page per minute and the paper tray can hold 120 sheets.
It can also be used for photocopying. You select whether you want a colour or black and white copy and the number of copies you want. It can copy up to 30 pages per minute.
The scanner is very good and easy to use. You put whatever you are scanning into the scanner and open up the software ...

Advantages: Copying and Scanning are fine Disadvantages: I have had loads of trouble getting it to print after replacing the ink
...asked me to review the Epson Stylus SX200 when I first got it, I may well have agreed with some of the other reviewers who rant about what good value for money it is. However, after owning one for about a year, my opinion has changed somewhat. The scanning and copying are first rate, I don't have a bad thing to say about them and, for the first six months, I would have said the print quality is ok for the price (you have to use the Best Photo setting ... ...fault for not using genuine Epson inks but I am not one of the priveledged few that can afford to buy the genuine article every time they need replacing. Anyway, changing the cartridges very often resulted in prints with a purple or orange tint - so logically you clean the print-head. Unfortunately, cleaning the print head consumes ink and, by the time you have cleaned the print-head enough to remove any colour bias, the cartridges are being flagged ...

Advantages: Great print quality - good price Disadvantages: A bit noisy
Good printer for everyday printing. Dissapointed that I cannot use it to print my greeting cards, never had a problem with my previous one, the Epsom 870C Stylus photo printer. It served me well for 6/7 years never had a problem.From an economic point of view, you cannotbeat Epson. I have compared with friends who have other makes of printers and cannot believe the amount of times they have to renew their cartridges,and they do very little graphics/colour ... ...separate colour cartridges so you only have to replace the one that is low.
It takes a while for it to start printing and it's not the fastest in the world but it is perfectly suitable for home printing, the quality is really good although I ahvent done full colour photos yet so cant comment.
Scans and copies well too ...

Advantages: Cheap, Very fast prints, Excellent colours, Very modern Disadvantages: Slightly large, surface gets dusty, no LCD
This printer is of exceptional quality, the printer I replaced was only a few years old but this just blows it away. My first print was a full colour A4 print and the colours were bright and vivid, the contrast was excellent. The ink setup makes it easier and cheaper to maintain. The speed of the draft text prints is amazing, when you're printing out multiple pages of text it's so fast. Also there's a "Quiet Mode" incase you're printing at night, ...

Advantages: print quality and ease of printing from sim card Disadvantages: initial set up on PC
this printer is a very easy printer to use when printing pictures from a digital camera sim card the print quality is the best ive come accross and it does not take long to print. the best thing about this printer is the ink cartridges, they are sold seperately so you dont need to go and buy a colour cartridge every time you just need to get the colour that has run out. this works out to be alot cheaper. the printer will also let you know how much ...

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 ...
