Epson Stylus S20

As with other reviewers, I found this a cheap but noisy machine. When it worked it was adequate but not exceptional. I bought quite a few spare genuine Epson cartridges to save time and money. Then the problems! In the middle of a job, it just stopped working. The error message was effectively 'Failure to recognise ink'! Epson Helpline most UNhelpful. Emails promised a call withing 24 hours - it took several days on each occasion. After the usual call-centre helpline runaround, the experts refused to accept my complaint, saying I must be using non-Epson cartridges or I'd damaged the mechanism by interfering with it. I used 'uninstall and re-install' to reset print ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this printer as a last minute buy from Tescos, I needed to do some printing urgently so I just bought the cheapest one in there(was not cheap) and gave it a go. When I got it home it took hours to set it all up, install cartridges, install pc programs and other bits and bobs. When it had been all installed I was pleased with the printing quality but not long after, after printing off some passport size pics one of the ink cartridges had run out, now the really silly thing with this printer is that if one cartridge runs out the whole printer will not function without that cartridge being replaced. This means if you needed to print something urgently ...  Read the complete review

Well where to start? This printer was on offer so i thought i would purchase one in the hope i was getting a bargin. Wrong! It's so slow it's untrue, it's extremely loud and the ink cartridges run out very quickly, which in the end lead this printer not be a bargin, but a costly mistake. I have had Epson printers in the past which have always served me very well indeed, but this one is most definately one for printer heaven! When the cartridges ran out for the second time, i bought non-epson cartridges, hoping to save a bit of money, unfortunately these did not work after being told in the computer shop where i purchased them from that they should! I contacted ...  Read the complete review

The epson s20 is a fairly run-of-the-mill photo printer. It has neither direct photo-printing capabilities nor networking options, but is a useful a4 inkjet that can also print 6x4in photos. Though not specifically marketed as a photo printer, the epson s20 has a solid driver setup that makes selecting the right combination of paper size, stock and inks a breeze. Simple edits such as cropping and red-eye reduction can be done using the photo print software. This allows you to choose between borderless or full-page printers, and add borders and effects. Photo printers are crisp, bright and vividly coloured. The s20 isn't the ...  Read the complete review

It prints good quality text and images, also the carteridges last quite a while. when you need to change the ink, you can just purchase the colours you need, which works out to be cheap. Although i do think it is a bit clonky and bulky in comparison to some other printers, plus it makes such a noise when its printing!!! i have to cover my ears and i worry that i will disturb my flatmates. For some reason, just before printing it takes several minutes making terrible noises and spinning the paper feeder before it takes the paper and actually starts printing on the paper. Another issue i have is with the detachable stand that fits at the back of the printer to hold the ...  Read the complete review
