I bought the Epson Stylus SX425W printer to replace my Kodak printer that had a broken shelf and that needed the ink changing too frequently. Although the Kodak ink was cheaper to buy I had to replace the cartridges every month or so. A printer is an essential for a student studying at University and running out of ink on the day of your deadline is a nightmare. It was the final year of University when I purchased this printer for just £49.99 from Comet. It was on offer and had the best specifications of the printers in the same price bracket. We did have to purchase a set of ink cartridges at £29.99 and that had all the four colours that was needed. The ink ...  Read the complete review

We got this about 4 months ago now from PC World after our last Epsom printer packed in. We don't really use a printer that much in our household but it's nice to have one just in case for printing out any online bookings or money off coupons. We decided on the Epsom Stylus SX425W because it had everything we needed all in one and is a brand we know and are used to. It's very easy to set up, you can either connect with a USB cable or wirelessly. I've connected via USB. It comes with an installation cd so all you do is connect it up, pop the cd into the cd drawer on your computer and follow the on screen set up guide. As I said before this is an ...  Read the complete review

Currently around £70 online - but shop around. I bought my SX425w last summer at Tesco. It was 'half price' at £49.99. Having had printers before that just seem to be so expensive to run I was eager to get one that I would be able to get cheap inks for. So I did do a bit of research before heading out - for me a real change. The printer itself is lightweight, and not difficult to handle. It is probably 2 or 3 inches longer than a piece of A4 paper, and 2 or 3 wider than a piece of A4 paper. It has buttons on the left hand side of the unit, and has a little screen that will tell you what you need to press for what outcome. ...  Read the complete review

We bought this printer a few months ago when my Lexmark finally died. The reviews I read were pretty good and I paid around £50 (on offer) for it in Argos. I mostly wanted to be able to photocopy things and for the kids to be able to print off their homework. The most important thing to us though was the fact it is wireless so now the kids can print from whichever computer they are using in the house rather than either having to use my laptop or email everything to me for printing. It can is hardwired via usb but we are all just using the wireless now. I was very easy to install and only took a few minutes to load the software on each of our ...  Read the complete review

I bought this to replace a cheap Canon printer for which the trade-off was expensive ink cartridges, like the razor/blade trick. Having said that the cartridges aren't that cheap for the Epson but there are plenty of suppliers of compatibles out there these days. I know it's subjective, but I find it a good-looking product and it seems pretty solidly built. The only slightly flimsy part is the extending paper-catcher at the front but I'm fairly heavy-handed and haven't had a problem yet. Installation was a breeze, I used the software disc supplied, which also gave the Epson Scan software, which although I feel is a bit "clunky" ...  Read the complete review
