Epson Multifunction sx415 tested

Epson printers have   are renown  for getting the job done at a sensible price. While the  oem  Epson ink cartridges are expensive , the compatible epson cartidges for the sx415 are very  well  priced.

Enough of that, on to the printer itself. Epson’s Stylus SX415 is a multifunction machine, therefore it can print scan & copy. It has a colour screen, PictBridge usb port which  gives you the oppertunity  to print directly from your digital camera, and also has slots for CompactFlash, SDHC, MMC memory cards. Thus you do not need to switch the pc on (if you ever switch it off) .

The Epson sx415 offers excellent  photograph quality. Colours were bright & intense, skin tones were  nicely displayed  and smooth with very little bleeding. Photo printing is quite slow, but I would rather wait for a great photo then have a poor one instantly! 

On  normal print mode text was dark and easy to read, close scrutiny would expose a few imperfections but I am being particular particularly at the price these printers are  going  for now. Its not the fastest machine on the market by any means and some  Hewlett Packard’s  and Canon’s are quicker. Draft mode is lightening quick, but codswallop. Documents with graphs and illustrations were vivid and accurate, very  nice  on the eye.

The 1,200×2,400dpi scanner is very good and produced quality scans on both documents and photographs with excellent fine detail on our scanned photos. 

Photo printing and scan quality are both very good makes the sx415 excellent value for money, considering you can pick one up for under £65 if you  know where to look  .

So don’t plump for a cheapo Lexmark , spend a little more and  grab  yourself a nice little Epson multifunction machine.
