The Epson Stylus Photo RX685 has been my main colour printer for nearly four years, Mr H and I brought it from Currys for less than £100 with a free set of replacement cartridges, unfortunately this particular model seems to be unavailable currently although you may still be able to pick one up cheaply on eBay, and the cartridges for this printer are still widely available. In the box we are provided with an installation disk, a power cable, a quick set up sheet, a manual and a cd/dvd printing draw. The printer was packaged securely and the box was very sturdy, it now houses our Christmas decorations in the attic. Once out of the box we are ...  Read the complete review

Epson Stylus Photo RX685 It was only by chance that I happened to get my hands on one of these fantastic printers, a friend was having a big clear out and sold me the printer and around 30 cartridges for just £10 and if it wasn't for all the ink included I probably would of not bought it anyway as I have another 5 printers cluttering up the spare bedroom as it is.. At a first glance the printer is rather bulky and heavy for what you would expect from your average printer, but on the other hand it has a very nice, sleek black and silver finish. The device is a Printer, Copier & Scanner all in one, It has a clear colour LCD display on the front ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a HP fan, and my friend had just brought a new Epson printer, and I loved the way it printed out photos, so I went and researched a few different Epson printers until I narrowed it down. My current HP printer is an all in one and I did want another all in one and the Epson Stylus Photo RX685 is an all in one, multi-functioner printer. Reading reviews and doing thorough research I decided this was the right printer, and I got it at a fab price of £99.99 instead of £199.99. When I received the printer I was a little shocked by the size of it as my friends printer is a lot smaller, but hers isn't an all in one. So the first ...  Read the complete review

I like Epson products, not just for their quality, but because most of them are pretty darn cheap to run. I was dubious about the RX685 because it had just been reduced to under £100, so please read on to see what I thought about this print/scanner. Well, first up, the set-up is really a breeze. I was unboxed, plugged in and drivers installed on my Mac in under 15 minutes, with not a single problem. The ink cartridges were easy to snap into place and my first task was to print a white-top DVD. A carrier is supplied, but for OS X Leopard no printing application. So a quick search and I was using Disc Cover 2. The resulting print onto the DVD was superb, lined ...  Read the complete review

I've had this printer for about nearly 2 years now and i must admit, i haven't had many problems with this at all. It's very quick and easy to print and you're able to select the quality you want to print in (e.g if you have a document with just text and images, you can select the text and image tab or if you have photographs, select the photo quality tab, etc). As a college student, i've had to print a lot of images and text meaning a lot of ink usage. However i find that although the ink can be expensive (between £40-£50 for a full set of colour + black ink) you'll find it lasts for quite a while, sometimes lasting up to a year of printing.
