Epson Stylus Color 460

Epson, when you hear the name, first thing that comes to mind, is great picture quality. Well this printer actually prints great pictures. I bought this printer almost 3 years back, and ever since, i may have used the printer about 20 times. The picture quality if perfect, but this itself is kind of a drawback. You see, if the picture quality is good, the amount of ink used is greater. I soon realized this, and was staring to regret the fact i bought an Epson. Since it prints great pictures, the cartridges finish very very fast. And adding to the damage the Epson colour cartridges are very expensive (about $50). And so i stared using my printer less and less, ...  Read the complete review

For those of you who read my previous op re: Staples, you will know straight away what this one is about so..read on! I have to add here that this op is not predominantly about the printer itself but more about the excellent after sales service I got! I have to praise up the staff on the other end of the Epson helpline for dealing with my problematic printer so efficiently,twice! When you first ring them up you do get thru’ to the usual “push button” options. I am not a great fan of this practice, preferring every time to speak to a real “live” human, but have to admit that “Yes it is an efficient way of getting ...  Read the complete review

I do remember that like today when this Epson's printer stood next to my first PC. It was about 10 years ago. Was looking amazing and was worry to touch this. When was printing- looking at it from every possible side. How it comes and how it goes. It is a colour printer so you can print text, images or even pictures. Printing pictures is not really the strongest point of this device but you can do it if you want. They come in sufficient enough quality to satisfy not professional eye. Installation This step is really easy and not complicated. Unpack everything on a table and connect parallel (IEEE 1284 (EPP/ECP) - 36 PIN Centronics) plug ...  Read the complete review

I first bought an Epson stylus printer around four years ago and have bought them ever since. For price and performance they can’t be beaten in my opinion. If you use quality paper you get great printouts and printing scanned images at photo quality on glossy paper is almost as good as cheap photo processing. Don’t expect the printer to last more than around three years of heavy use though, but for the price you can afford to buy a new one every few years anyway. One thing that I do, and isn’t recommended by Epson, is re-filling the ink cartridges. I find this the only way to keep the cost down to an affordable ...  Read the complete review

To beat this printer on price and value for money,is in my opinion impossible.The quality of output is remarkable with sharp text and excellent photo reproduction,make this printer a very useful piece of equipment for anyone with a limited budget.The ink refils are relatively cheap and the sturdy build mean that this printer should last quite a while.I myself have been using this printer for 9 months and have not had any problems at all.In fact I am very hesitant to even consider changing it.A well spent £80. ...  Read the complete review
