Epson Stylus Color 440

My trustworthy Epson 440 inkjet printer has always served me well, however now that even the newest printers of superior quality from Epson are under £100 I will soon sucomb to them and say goodbye to my loyal friend. Oh you try so hard to impress me but sorry your top dots per inch of 770 just doesn't cut it anymore, I need a printer with 2880 dots per inch to really show the flashiness of my graphics and documents. Epson have always produced top quality printers and scanners as well as other computer perperials. I purchased this printer about 2 or 3 years ago when it was still relatively new. If my memory serves me correct then it was approximately £80 ...  Read the complete review

I'm unimpressed with this printer, purely because the one I had died within 18 months(and not much printing)... The printer itself is quite nice looking, and I was really relieved when I realised that it holds both colour and black cartridges, so there's no nasty cartridge-swapping to be done, which is nice. Print quality isn't that bad, with A4 it's certainly acceptable, if a little slow (as per usual) with colour. I found that envelopes and the like tended to like getting stuck and hence chewed up in the process of being printed. Cartridges are fairly cheap to get hold of, and easy to install. I tended to use WHSmiths version of ...  Read the complete review

If you want a reliable home printer that is extremely cheap to run then this printer is the printer for you. Not only are the cartridges extremely cheap but there is no serious maintenance issues with these printers. These printers also have no chips involved in the cartridges either. You can go on ebay and buy the origional cartridges for under £1 each and have them posted direct to your front door. The casing is reinforced plastic and is an off white colour, which after time turns greyish. The rinter runs off LPT1 so it is not advisable to buy one of these if you dont have the parallel port to do this. The paper feeder says it takes 50 pieces but I have shoved in 75 at ...  Read the complete review

These days, the most popular types of printers on the market are Inkjet printers. They offer good color output, near-laser quality text, and an affordable price. One such printer that I have found is the Epson Stylus 440. This is the lowest in the series of highly acclaimed Epson Stylus series. However, don't underestimate it's compact size, because this printer can pack a punch. I bought it because my little brother needed a new printer after our old Panasonic Dot-Matrix printer became obsolete. He also needed something affordable. At £120 (even less now), the Stylus 440 is a great deal for those of us who are budget-minded. It also handles a variety of media ...  Read the complete review

Let me point out that my Epson printer is NOT really a 440, a friend had a 440 and my case looked tatty, but HIS 440 packed in last year so I ripped the case off and swapped it for my old one. It's terrible when your loved ones die on their birthdays, isn't it? Well my beloved Epson Stylus Color 400 (to give it its Sunday name) did more or less that. I adopted (after paying the adoption fee of £149) in September 1996 and cared for it constantly for the last five years. It has repaid me with kindness...and loads of printouts. Its memory will be with me for a long time to come - we have several photo quality glossy prints of relatives hung on ...  Read the complete review
