Epson C62

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

...The Epson C62 INKJET printer is by far the best printer I have ever had. However, I only mainly use my printer for printing out documents and spreadsheets etc, and I don?t know whether it is the best printer out there for printing out photographs. I have previously had a Xerox printer, and found out that it consumed ink very quickly, its print quality was very poor, and the most annoying thing: It made a hell of a lot of noise! Whenever I turned on my computer it made a terrible, loud, grounding sound that reverberated around the house, and it was particularly distracting at night and the vibrations woke you up. I have found the Epson C62 printer to be quite the opposite of this. When I purchased my laptop from Time (Computer World), I got a special offer where I could buy the Epson C62 printer at half price for £40 (The RRP...

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...

Epson Stylus C62 - OK to a point

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

...I have had 3 different printers in the last 10 years, and the Epson Stylus C62 is my 4th. I decided I wanted a photo quality printer, but was on a budget and was looking to pay under £70. I wanted something that would give me decent quality photographs, but that could handle all my other printing requirements (general documents, letters etc). Although about 18 months old now, at the time of purchase it was considered a compact model and is certainly good if you are limited on space. The price then was good and I am sure now you could pick one up for much less. The software (printer driver) that it came with was easy to install and I was quick to set up and get working. The quality of photographs is good, I wouldn't say excellent, but definitely of a moderate to good quality. However, I have nothing else positive to say about this...

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...

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...

Review of Epson Stylus C62

Oh not another of his ramblings

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

...of them! Consumables for Epsons are probably the cheapest out there. What I mean by consumables is basically Ink Cartridges, something which is probably costing printer owners all over the country a fortune. When you consider than an Epson (Jet Tec compatible) black cartridge for the C62 can cost as little as £4 depending on where you buy them, compared to a HP black cartridge for around £18, your laughing. The same goes for the colour cartridges, being around £6 for Epson?s and £23 for HP?s. This was the reason I bought the Epson C62?s, and this is what makes them so great for home or home office based printing. However, I must stress here, if you do use these Jet Tec compatible cartridges, you will end up voiding the warranty, which is as standard one year. I have never had any problems whatsoever with Jet Tec cartridges though and can whole...

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...
