Advantages: Cheap, Attractive, Good Printing Quality

Disadvantages: None

This Epson Printer cost me £59, but it has been advertised for £49 more recently. Attractively designed and easy to use, it is the perfect home office printer. Probably not ideal for workplaces which are printing out high quality photos every day but for home use such as printing out pictures and text either for homework or pleasure, it is a decent enough printer. The C20SX has a parallel connection. Mine is a C20UX which is identical except that it has a USB connection instead. The paper tray folds neatly away underneath the printer so this beast takes up hardly any room. It prints about 6 pages per minute and you have the choice to make on screen whether it prints draft (fairly feint), normal or photo quality. Cartridges are about £12 - £15 each to replace. It has a black and colour cartridge supplied when new. However the cartridges last quite a long time. I have seen some places selling the cartridges for this printer at around £20, don't pay this, they are available for much less. This printer is very reliable. not the quietest of printers, but not the noisiest either. It does not come with a USB lead but does come with full instructions and the installation CD-ROM. Overall a very good printer for the home office at a low price. The next model up is the Epson C40 or C42, about £10 more, which produces even better quality results.
