CFB_suppliesThe first thing that strikes you about the Epson Stylus SX200 is its low price tag, but when your looking for a budget inkjet printer it is imperative that you check the price of the printer cartridges before committing to a purchaser. Epson SX200 ink cartridges are slightly different to it competitor’s because they are individual ink tanks and this means they are more economical in the long run because when one colour runs out you only have to buy a replacement of that one colour. A set of genuine Epson ink cartridges for the SX200 can be purchased for under £30 and compatible printer cartridges for around £15. The SX200 a long list of features from photo printing to one touch, PC-free copying all of which it does to a reasonable standard. The SX200’s strongest feature it its printing, photo prints are equal to that from a photo lab and text documents are razor sharp even when the font is small. The device’s weakness point is the printing speed, the official figure is 34ppm but this is quoted in draft quality and the print is barely readable, increasing the quality setting decreases the speed to a jaw dropping 4ppm which is a million miles away from the official 34ppm. Overall though the SX200 is a good little printer the built quality is good and although the noise level is a little high that just lets you know that it’s working.
