CFB_suppliesBudget multifunction printers seem to be the machine of chose by printer manufacturers to rip people off with through the cost of replacement printer ink cartridges. The new Epson Stylus SX200 is slightly different to a lot of these other printers because Epson SX200 ink cartridges are available at a price 50% cheaper than the genuine Epson ink cartridges in compatibles form. Compatible ink cartridges are manufactured by third party companies and yield the same number of pages as the genuine inks but at a considerably lower price. The Stylus SX200 is designed to be an affordable solution to everyday printing, scanning and copying for the user on a budget and it does seem to suit it purpose. The scanning and copying facilities are good in terms of functionality but a little lacking in performance which is what is to be expected from a device of this type. Having said that, the copier can work without the need for a PC to be connected, which is a very convenient feature. Printing is where the SX200 shines the print quality is excellent for all types of documents of a variety of paper media although the speed in which it prints them is far from impressive. The build quality of the machine is very good, the plastics feel solid and not the usual flimsy stuff found on other budget printers. All the features of the machine are very easy to use and overall the SX200 is a good value for money multifunctional inkjet printer perfect for those on a small budget.
