Epson Stylus SX400
The growth in popularity of the multifunction printer has seen prices falling dramatically ink recent years and has also seen manufacturers making big efforts to try and cash in on this market. The new Epson Stylus SX400 is a prime example of this because it offers an impressive array of features for a very reasonable price tag. All-in-one printers in this category are priced very competitively because there is a lot of competition and also so that it offers the printer to the widest possible range of users. What the price tag hides however is the cost of the replacement printer ink cartridges which in some cases can be twice as much as the printer itself. Fortunately this is not the case for Epson SX400 ink cartridges but they’re not cheap at £30 a set for genuine Epson inks. Performance for the SX400 is impressive in some areas but lacking in others. Printing speed is its weakest point and although inkjet printers are not known for their fast printing speeds the SX400 is below average. However, the quality of the print output is worth the wait, The SX400 capable of producing excellent quality text documents with clear and well defined text as well as photo prints equaling that from a professional photo lab. The SX400 offers more than just printing it also offers high resolution scanning up to A4 from its built in flatbed which is of a slim line design in order to keep the overall size of the SX400 compact. It produces great quality scans for a variety of documents and images with accurate colour representation.
