I have used several different types of printer in my time, my first being an Epson and my last being an Epson. I had something else in the middle but got another Epson pretty quickly. I use something different at work sometimes but really like Epson printers best.
When we first bought our computer I wanted one with a good printer and digital camera so that I could print my own photos, several hundred pounds ... ...Another good thing with Epson is it has a USB connection so can be easily attatched to a different computer.
The photo enhance software is useful for printing different focuses or colours and the print image matching compatibility is great with my digital camera. This means what I take is what I get printed with exact colour matches. This is something I use a lot because there is not a lot of things more annoying than printing a lovely photo only ...

...So I went for the Epson CX3200, and have now had it in my possession for nearly two years and feel able to tell you all about it.
---The Machine---
This printer is, in a word, huge. Remember that it includes an A4 scanner, and is actually even larger than that. In fact, it was a very tight squeeze getting it onto the shelf on my computer desk. Colour-wise it's a bog standard beige colour, which actually seems to get grubby very quickly. This is ... ...refilling slightly awkward. The official Epson cartridges (TO40/41) are fairly expensive, but I've found that I get just as good results by using compatibles. The one thing that didn't work out so well is re-filling cartridges, I found this cause the printer heads to get blocked very quickly.
And talking about printer heads, I've found that if the printer is not used for even as little as a week, the heads tend to get blocked. Although this can ...

EPSON have a very respectible name in the printing industry. With there cheap innovative designs and quality printers, they lead the market along side Hewlett Packard. This printer maybe quiet large in size but in the long run it is cheap, and saves the seperate scanner and colour photocopier.

I got one of these about 2 years ago now; I got mine from PC world at £99 when I first got it I was very impressed I still am to this day.
The quality of mine seams to have got worse over time but this may be because I use compatible and very very cheap cartridges and from at little as £1.50 a pop can you blame me!

Using Epson cartridges is far too expensive, it pays to use compatibles, they can been obtained from many sources. I personally use 2 Black to 1 color. Apart from this with only a single black changed and a bare 10% in the color cartridge the printer heads can always be cleaned. With a DX6000 with only the Black changed the machine locks and one cannot clean the printer heads despite there being still ink in the color cartridges. ...

...decided to ditch my old Epson printer and scanner (they were separate devices) in favour of this, Epson's low-end multi-function. And I am very glad that I did. Setting it up could have been a lot easier, since they'd practically covered it in tape, but once things got going I was pretty happy with it. There is no question it is larger than, for instance, the HP multi-function devices of a similar cost, but it is worth remembering it still takes ... ...have always found that the Epson printer driver software is better than the rest, and again I find the settings easy to apply. Features such as printing multiple pages onto one A4 sheet are handy, while the printer will automatically choose between colour and black printing depending upon what's on the page (even in 'text' mode). It is a fast, if not slightly noisy printer, but seems to be getting through ink rather quickly (although it tells you ...

...life is quite good, however epson original cartridges are stupidly expensive. I use a cheap epson clone available from ebay at the cost of 7GBP for four cartridges. Epson want something in the region of 10-15GBP per cartridge! There is a built in software monitor to tell you how much ink you have left.
The CX3200 connects via a USB port and is compatible with Windows 98, Windows Millenium, Windows 2000 and Windows XP Home & Pro. It is also compatible ... ...unit is particularly beautiful, its ok, but just a bit bland. Its beige fascia is starting to look a little dated. One thing I found with my CX3200 is that the paper receiving tray no longer stays upright, the catch is worn so it keeps falling down, but its not a massive issue.
Overall, the CX3200 offers solid reliability and at the time was a superb buy. Its still a good buy now if you can get a cheap one, but smaller, sexier and cheaper units ...

...try an Epson.
The Epson CX3200 is quite a cheap purchase in the big scheme of things, less than £90, for a scanner / printer all in one so I thought why not!
On opening the box I had the unit printing colour in 20 minutes, everything including USB lead is there in the box. My PC running XP had no problems. Next came scanning, again dead easy, once the software is installed you just hit the scan button and up pops a menu asking you what software ... ...of clicks and there is the preview!
So with everything working, is the printer up to scratch for home use, oh yes! The printer produces just what you want, quick black text at a good quality or, if you have the correct paper and the time a lovely borderless A4 photo in full technicolour!
What more can I say about the performance - well nothing more that this is good enough for any home office. This is a nice scanner and a nice printer all in one!

Advantages: Scanner is great, photocopying is great, ease of use, cheap to keep Disadvantages: Bulkyness, slow, printing isnt very sharp
...and very-nearly-dead one with the Epson CX3200. I guess the price of about £100 was pretty reasonable seeing as it additionally had a scanner and photocopier. The design of this printer, is pretty large which is a bit of a drawback, however, it isn't too heavy to move around although it is hard to carry due to it's bulkyness. It looks modern but there are quite a few confusing looking buttons on there but once you get to know what they do, it's perfectly ... ...instead of buying the proper Epson ink cartridges which are expensive (at about £5 - £10), you can buy compatibles for a fraction of the price (about £2) which I don't see any difference in the quality.
Overall, the printer is great if you just plan to print out ordinary letters and scanning in photos but if you are looking for a good, high quality printer to print out your daughter's birthday pictures, this probably isn't the best choice. ...
