Epson cx3200- Recommended 3 in 1

Advantages: Cheap 3 in 1 printer
Disadvantages: can be prone to paper jams

...I bought this 3 in 1 to replace an older epson 580 printer, which eventually expired after 3 years use.I like Epson printers I think they give good value for money and the print quality is good for the price range.My old Epson 580 was very noisy the cx3200 is noticeably quieter, and is of a superior build quality. The cx3200 represents great value for money combining a printer,scanner and stand alone photocopier,a very usefull feature you do not get with all 3 in 1 machines.(no PC connection required). The cx3200 falls somewhere bettween the home user and the small office user and would be at its best in a home business environment, where it is robust enough to cope with sizable print jobs, without being overlarge and industrial for the home environment. The one overwhelming problem with this printer is the cost of the ink...

CX3200 Epson All In One Printer

Advantages: Easy to use. All that I require and more.
Disadvantages: Current installation disk and loose paper trays

...I have had a CX3200 for 3/4 years or more, an exceptionally good machine up until now. Purchased from a stockist in the Midlands in a matter of a single phone call and excellent backup and knowledge by the sales person, unlike today with Epson. The machine has all that I require and more. Accepts A3 envelopes, US Letter size paper and slightly larger. The mains plug to the printer is 3 pin which gives a secure fixing at all times, unlike the DX6000 and others which have a 2 pin fitting and in no way permanent, they keep coming adrift. In the DX6000 Epson state that the the printer should not be moved, that in my opinion is not possible. If it is on a sliding shelf beneath the computer it has to be moved also the TAG/Serial number on the reverse can only be seen by moving it. The Rear Paper Feeder tray has to be fitted...

Epson CX3200 - A comprimise?

Advantages: Excellent quality, fast, Nice design
Disadvantages: Can be slow, Expensive to run

...Working for a graphics company speed and quality are essential. But I didnt buy the CX3200 for proof printing; it provided an ideal scanning and letter printing solution for the office. Theres always been a myth about all in ones; they do have everything in one, but they only do the tasks in moderation; your not going to get the quality of a top of the range printer of the scanning dpi of a top of the range scanner; and its important you acknowledge this before going out and buying one. But the CX3200 is arguably different; The speed of the printer is excellent, with speeds of up to 15 ppm in standard black text; its quite noisy however, it makes a bit of a churning sounds when printing. The quality is excellent, with a dpi of 5760 its a shame I couldn't use it for proof production; it would certainly be good enough...

Epson Stylus CX3200

Advantages: Price, features
Disadvantages: Bulky - takes up a lot of desk space

...I've had my CX3200 for about 2 years now and I have to say its a superb package. The item cost me 100GBP with 2 spare cartridges from a local computer dealership and its never let me down in two years of continuous use. The CX3200 is a printer, scanner and colour and black and white copier all in one. You might be forgiven for thinking its the jack of all trades and the master of none, but this isnt the case. The CX3200 manages a healthy 14 pages per minute in black and white and 10 pages per minute in colour - which is quite quick for an inkjet printer. Depending on the quality of paper used the unit is capable of up to 5760x720 DPI using performance enhancement software which is excellent. The unit also allows for PC-free copying of up to 10 pages per minute, and handy boon if you cant be bothered to turn on your PC to run...

Epson Stylus CX3200

Advantages: Multi-tasking
Disadvantages: size and weight

...The Epson Stylus CX3200 is a good peripheral to have wether in the house or a small office, the CX3200 biggest advantage is that Print, Scan and Photocopy. The printer has a USB connection It is very easy to set up with the software that is provided with it, the software that it comes with is of a decent quality. It is quite a large machine but compared to some photocopiers on the market it is resonable and should fit quite easily on or in a computer desk. Printer: The printer on the CX3200 is an inkjet printer and produces good quality printouts for word and spreadsheet type document but doesnt have the same quality when printer photo's and highly detailed images. The CX3200 prints documents that are A4 or smaller and can also do things such as Head Alignment, Nozzle Check and Head Cleaning through the display screen on the front...

Review of Epson CX3200

My Epson Experience

Advantages: All In One Printer
Disadvantages: Expensive Cartridge

...I am currently a student at uni and printing costs 5p for black and 40p for color per A4 sheet at the Learning Resource Center (Just a fancy name for the Computer Building). It is very expensive indeed until one day when my flatmate brought back this massive box with the words All In One printer. I assist him in carrying the huge box and help him set it up it the room. The printer costs him GBP 100 from PCWORLD and it was basically a Printer, Scanner and Copier all together in one machine. I was very glad that I can finally not just do my printing in my flat but also scanning and photocopying. Manufacturer Printer Main Specifications -Quick and easy standalone colour copy function -5760 optimised dpi for true photo quality output -Borderfree printing for perfect photo prints -14ppm high speed printing -EPSON Smart Panel...

Epson CX3200 Review

Advantages: Uses cheap compatible ink cartridges
Disadvantages: can be a little slow and sometimes feeds two sheets

...I have found this to be an excellent all round printer and superb value for money. It takes the cheaper epson compatible cartridges for an excellent quality photo print, it also allows you to print to the edge of the sheet, great for brochures, etc For photo scanning it is easy as you can use the single button scan on the printer to save to file the only problem i've found this locks every now and again and you have to restart the printer. It also has a habit of taking two sheets of paper through at the same time The printer is also extremely easy to configure over a local area network for shared use and allows an optional print preview setting. It also doubles as a colour or mono photo copier and allows multiple copies to be printed...

Review of Epson CX3200

Epson SX515W is an excellent printer.

Advantages: Wireless function is easy, print from anywhere.
Disadvantages: While the black finish is nice, it really is a dust magnet.

...After having Epson printers before, I decided to go for another one. But this time, one with wireless capabilities. In box with the printer is the power cable, USB cable (you need these for the initial set up), a set of cartridges and a small pack of photo paper. Was really easy to set up. We use 3 laptops at home and for the first set up I needed the USB cable. Follow the prompts on the discs and it automatically detects your wireless network. For the 2 additional laptops, I didn't need the USB cable and just had to set them up as "additional computers". It's really easy to install the cartridges. Printer has a helpful little screen to prompt you. Scanning and copying functions are really good. When you scan an item, so long as you computer is switched on, it will appear on the little screen, just select it and it scans...

Review of Epson SX515W

An Epson product that lives up to expectations

Advantages: Price, ease of use
Disadvantages: Does jam sometimes, quite large

...I 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 up far lesss space than a separate printer and scanner. I know people who use HPs, and personally I think Epsons are far better for quality and ease of use. I 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...

EPSON Stylus SX515W - stylish, capable but not perfect

Advantages: Stylish, fast printing, quality output, good range of functions
Disadvantages: A bit noisy, poor manuals

... Introduction We have three computers in the house, one desktop & two laptops which are used wirelessly. Previously, I had a simple low cost printer connected to the desktop. This was fine but in recent months use of the desktop has declined so it has stood unused most of the time. To print it was a case of transfer document to USB stick, switch on desktop, print from USB stick, switch off desktop. What a pain !! I decided enough was enough and after researching the market for multi-function wireless devices I decided to purchase the Epson SX515W as it looked good, had all the features I wanted and was a good price. Installation The salesman advised me to set it up on the desktop initially as it would be hard wired via USB. If you hear this don't let it put you off. The set-up works fine even if you have a single...
