Advantages: STYLISH, WELL ENGINEERED, GOOD QUALITY PRINTING AND COPYING.

Disadvantages: FOR ME THERE ARE NONE

THE EPSON STYLUS CX6600 MULTI-FUNCTION PRINTER.
My last review was of the Epson Stylus R265. In that review I also mentioned that I had one for about four years that had been trouble free. THIS IS THE ONE!!. I am delighted that I purchased this model for my scanning, faxing, photographic printing requirements. Regarding the design, there are no square corners! It has a nicely rounded and an asthetically pleasing.

I purchased this model for the princely sum of £99.99. I honestly think this printer will outlive me! For a multi-printer it has everything except that I have to put the paper in! LOL! Well I recommend this one to anyone that needs this kind of office or home printer with its good average printing speed (see specifications). The print quality is always good. The ink usage is good. The ease of use I would give 4 out of 5 but to be honest, it is a complex printer since it does 7 different operations. Also this model, the EPSON STYLUS CX6600, does print good photographs and the photo-copy results on glossy photo papers is good too.

The high resolution scanning on the multi-printer cannot be faulted, the scanned to PC results are indeed as good if not better than the original photograph or document. The images can be increased or decreased in size from the original by percentage. So very useful.

At the front of the printer there is a built in card reader for your camera flash cards or anything else, since as a card reader it can also show the files on your PC whatever they are. Of course the printer will see a list of pictures on the flash card and at a command will print you sheets of "proofs" at any pre-set size you want and more!

The control panel layout is fairly simple, many of the operations are done in the window of the Printer panels on your PC but naturally there will be times when you want to press some buttons? Yes! What would we do without buttons to press! The layout of the "driving panel" on the printer is set out in a very logical manner. First time around you will need the "book of words". I admit that I do tend to be hands on first and then get the operator manual second. There is a small LCD panel that shows setup information and there is a 0 to 1 panel to dial in the amount of photo-copies you might want as well as a button for just black printing and another for colour printing that is for photo-copy printing.

I do love this printer, it is solidly built and well engineered as well as a super design that works well and looks great. Thank you EPSON for this particular model. It has very pleasing features in just about all aspects as a multi-printer. If it had incorperated a DVD/CD printing tray too, I would be really overcome with delight. That, however is asking just a bit too much. EPSON ENGINEERS, how about it then?

Additional info: The Printer has a USB connection for PC which is supplied with the printer and is usual nowadays. The older kind of parallel port attachment method using 25 pin "D" plug type Line-port to the printer's Centronics socket can still be found but are more or less being phased out.

A Wonderful printer indeed!
Thank you for reading my review on this super Epson Stylus Mult- printer the model CX6600.
