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...

Review of Epson CX3200

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: 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...

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 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...

My Epson Experience

Advantages: All In One Printer
Disadvantages: Expensive Cartridge

...Copying can be done using the software or using the button for easy one click operation. The copying can be done in colour or black and white. The Cartridge The cartridge is expensive and the content is usually monitored by the software. It gives out a warning when it is low. I usually ignore the warning and continue printing until it really can't print. If you change your cartridge as soon as the low warning appears, you are wasting lots of ink that equals to $$$ because the cartridge is expensive. I bought compatible cartridges for this printer to save cash. It only costs me GBP14 for a colour and black cartridge together when buying online. It was not advisable by Epson for us to use compatible cartridges but I just don't bother. The quality is exactly the same to my opinion.

Review of Epson CX3200

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...

Review of Epson CX3200

A good all round machine

Advantages: Good all round machine, clear instructions, easy to install and offers lovely results
Disadvantages: Quite bulky

...Epson Stylus CX3200 www.epson.co.uk 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 and mistakes later I am doing rather a lot of that. Some of my first prints were stunning and some of them were too small to see or too big to fit on A4 paper, never did work out why but that doesn?t happen so often nowadays. (Joke, I know it is all in the settings) Nowadays the computer tower sits on the top of the desk instead of on the floor, this came about once the grandchildren...

The Perfect Budget Combi?

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use and very cheap to find replacement ink.
Disadvantages: Loud!

..... -------------------------------------- Compatibility: It will work with any windows platform after Windows 98 and also works with Mac. ----------------------------------------- Overview: I cannot recall having a paper-jam recently, maybe 4 since I bought the product several years ago. When all is said and done this is a great practical printer, It is fairly hard to find now as it is not the most recent model, but I have recently seen it selling new at £65, I bought this new from a small local supllier several years ago at £99.99. It often sells on Ebay for around the £40 mark includng postage (reconditioned or 2nd hand). ------------------------------------------------ Stuff from the Box / Manual: Epson Stylus CX3200 Manufacturer Warranty 1 year warranty Dimensions (WxDxH) 47.5 cm x 38.9 cm x 23.5 cm...
