Epson C62

Advantages: Good quality prints, low ink consumption
Disadvantages: Slightly noisy & fairly slow prints

...quality decreased, leaving huge black lines across my work. With the Epson I have, so far, not found that to be the case, and the print quality is crystal clear. Noise As described before, my previous experience with a Xerox printer was not good because it produced way too much noise for a little printer. The Epson does make noise when you first turn it on, this lasts for a minute or so, but when printing, it is extremely quiet, well compared to the Xerox it is! Ink Cartridges An Epson C62 ink cartridge will set you back as little as £5 with the colours (magenta, yellow and cyan) costing slightly more. But as stated above, unless you use them very frequently, you should expect to change them every several months or so. The Ink cartridges are very easy to install into the printer, you simply push the little tab on the colour you want...

epson c62

Advantages: Small and Compact
Disadvantages: can be a bit noisy when printing

...what decided to make me stay with Epson ws the fact the cartridges were fairly cheap to replace even at Epson prices where as my old hp was nearly £60 a time. I can quite easily get cheap cartridges for £10 a set for this printer. Now my printer sits on top of my computer on a shelf and it is quite noisy and sometimes it makes my computer shake. However i have also had it at the side of my computer where its perfectly fine. There is a large sheet of paper inside telling you about installation and trouble shooting problems that you might have. Its very easy cable wise to connect up and also the on off buttons are on the right hand side. Just one thing i would say is make sure you have the right cables for your computer and the printer as when we got home we found we had the incorrect one and had to return to the shop to buy...

Epson Stylus C62 - OK to a point

Advantages: Low Price - Photo Quality
Disadvantages: Very Temperamental - No Edge-to-edge printing

...printer. I have never, ever, had a machine that is so finicky and temperamental. It claims there are paper jams when there are not. It dithers for so long before printing some times you often think it's stopped working. The print heads clog continually. Use anything but the expensive Epson black and colour cartridges and you are in for nothing but poor prints and clogged print heads. Even with Epson cartridges I have had problems. If you are using anything but standard printer paper, again, the printer often gets confused and thinks there is either a paper jam or that there is no paper in there - using even very thin cardboard or photo paper causes these problems, things that a modern printer should be able to handle effortlessly. Although the Epson Stylus C62 is a photo quality printer, it does not have edge-to-edge printing so you...

Epson Stylus C62

Advantages: Robust and Cheap
Disadvantages: Drinks ink especially non Epson Cartridges

...Epson can charge a lot more for the cartridges. It also makes it difficult for cartridges to be refilled as special equipment is required to reset the chips. This printer has an improvement which was an annoyance on the earlier C42. When the C42 cartridges decided they were empty the printer refused to print. The C62 shows the cartridges as being empty but will allow you to carry on printing until the cartridges are really empty. I've tried several makes of third party cartridges from good quality manufacturers but found that the printer does not like them. Epson's printer driver gives you a warning when you replace a cartridge with a non Epson original. I've had one third party cartridge that emptied after 2 weeks and printing less than 10 pages. The printer seems to simply drain the ink into the printer. Strangely when I...

Review of Epson Stylus C62

The woe of an Epson C62:

Advantages: OK as an all round printer
Disadvantages: Really noisy ink guzzler / expensive tanks

...My Epson C62 printer started to give me trouble about six months after purchasing it so I contacted Epson, after a few tests with their technical team and after wasting a vast amount of ink from their genuine ink tanks I was advised to take it to a local Epson dealer. "Print heads" said the dealer as though I had been printing on sandpaper....! He duly give me a replacement and literally threw the C62 straight into the nearest bin, I repeat " threw it", the replacement was of course minus the ink tanks and when I got home minus the guarantee and receipt of purchase documents. The problem was black lines on picture with a yellow cast about 1" from the left hand side and along the bottom of the picture, as though in a frame. The normal black & white text consisted of either blue or red straight lines through the text...

Siemens C62

Advantages: cheap, small
Disadvantages: poor quality, limited features, poor battery life

...I had a company phone C62 and all in all was not impressed. The phone displayed classic seimens style exterior which personally i dont like i think it looks cheap and untidy. I believe they do this in three different colours, white, red and mine was silver. It has a small square screen which sits above a cluster of buttons. Its power and camera connectors are on the bottom of the phone. The build quality is not very good, the battery cover on the rear of the phone is very flimsy and difficult to get (I broke mine twice). The sim card rests underneath the battery, infact the battery is the only thing holding the sim card in place. Its a reasonable size phone measuring height of 101mm, width of 44mm and depth of 20mm, it easily fits in your pocket or handbag and it weighs 85grams which is not to bad. I found one of my biggest...

Epson Stylus C62

Advantages: Good Quality
Disadvantages: Noisy

...This product is definetely a good option among ink jet printers, Printing quality is good for pictures and documents. The ink cartridges for the printer are quite cheap and last quite a long time depending how often you print. Another good thing is that when you install the printer and the software provided, there are maintenance options provided with software which enable you to do such tasks as do a nozzle check (use this if gaps or faint lines appear in your print out), head clenaing (use this if your print quailty declines) and print head alignment (use this if misaligned vertical lines appear in your print out) i have never had to use any of these maintenance tasks !! The only problem i have ever come across is a paper jam but there is a button on the printer which solves this problem easily !! The only disadvantage...

C62 is OK But..... There are better printers

Advantages: Good styling
Disadvantages: The peizo ink jet heads, ink wastage

...I bought a C62 as my first printer, 6 monthes down the line I had to return it to a local Epson agent, because on plain black text, it left squiggly blue broken lines, and sometimes a broken red line.... "the print head" said the dealer, to much of my amazement he threw it in a nearby rubbish bin, and handed me a replacement ( minus ink cartridges). What I did not realise is that he did not hand the receipt back, I thought he had put in the box. Guess what, the heads have started to require continous cleaning and Epson cartridges are not cheap, personally I put it down to the type of jets used, these are not thermal jets. Epson seems to be of no help, inspite of having the old and new replacement regestration documents. I am in the process of doing what the dealer did. I personally would never buy Epson products again, looking...

Oh not another of his ramblings

Advantages: Cheap running costs, cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: Noisy little thing, feels cheap

...bet the HP will win hands down every time in terms of print and colour quality. Also the HP?s sharpness cannot be matched by the Epson. However, when it comes to buying those all elusive ink cartridges you will soon have a shock when you see the Jet Tec cartridges lined up next to the HP cartridges and wishing you had an Epson. So it was on this basis that I recently purchased 11 Epson C62?s for general printing (prescriptions and patient leaflets) for a local surgery. They already had a few HP?s and were getting increasingly worried about their ink cartridge bills! For printing off prescriptions and patient leaflets on standard photocopy paper, the C62 fitted the bill perfectly, and it will for most of your home printing needs too. Available for £69.99 on Amazon this printer isn?t on the cheapest side. We have the lexmarks coming in...

My Smooth Baby!

Advantages: Clear print and accurate colour photos can be printed
Disadvantages: Cartridges are expensive and a bit noisy

...for a small amount of printing not like in an office situation.We bought our Epson Stylus C62 printer for £49.95 and headed home. Once unpacked, we followed the clear instructions which were both pictorial and the written word so even an idiot like me could understand it. (Husband thinking once it?s running I can get back to the TV and have some peace and quiet.) VITAL STASTISTICS It measures about 48cm x 26cm x 18 high, and weighs according to my kitchen scales about 3.5kg ? it certainly isn?t too heavy to lift in and out from under the table if I need to for the occasional dusting! There is just room for the smoky grey lid to lift to change the cartridges. It is smooth grey plastic and well rounded, with contrasting dark grey base which has nice indentations to make it easy to grip when lifting. The paper tray is in dark grey, as is...
