The new offering from Epson is a multifunction inkjet printer that offers all your printing, scanning and photocopying needs. With a price tag of less than £50 the Stylus SX200 appears to be excellent value for money but the cost of the printer ink cartridges is not so great. A full set of Epson SX200 ink cartridges costs £30 when bought in a multi-pack, the good news is there are compatible Epson ink cartridges available which cost 50% less and are widely available from good retailers. The ink cartridges are more economical than the competitors as they consist of four individual cartridges, one for each colour so you only need to change one colour at a time. Another advantage the SX200 has over it competitors is its built quality and this is backed up with a 12 month warranty from Epson. Performance figures for the SX200 look good on paper and some covert into the real world and some don’t. Print quality of the SX200 excellent for much a cheap printer in fact it good for an expensive printer, but the speed in which the SX200 prints is not so impressive. On paper the SX200 is capable of printing 34ppm in draft quality mode, but the print is so faint in draft quality that you need to increase the quality setting to “standard” at least and this reduces speed to around 4ppm. Scanning copying capabilities of the SX200 are pretty average and have nothing to complain about. Overall the Epson SX200 is a good buy.
