Epson are no new comers to the multifunction inkjet market and they have always offered high spec machines with affordable price tags, but their running costs have left something to be desired. Their latest offering the Stylus SX400 stays true to this pattern but it does have an advantage over it competitors in terms of it running costs. The SX400 uses an ink system that consists of four separate printer ink cartridges which makes it far more comical when it comes to replacing the ink cartridges when only one colour has run out as the remaining ink is not wasted. A set of Epson SX400 ink cartridges costs around £30 but if your want real value for money there are compatibles available for £15 and they print the same amount as the genuine Epson inks. The SX400 is basically there machines on in one, it offer the functionally of a printer, scanner and photo copier as well as offering addition features like direct printing from a memory card thanks to the memory card reader and built-in LCD screen. The print quality of the SX400 is surprisingly good for all types of documents, its photo prints are particularly good with quality close to that from a professional photo lab. The device itself it very compact and it hard to believe it has a fully functional A4 scanner built in to it, the SX400 mages this because the scanner is a slim line design, but this doesn’t effect it performance in a negative way however because it produced result just as good as a full size device. The photo copier makes use of the same A4 scanner and produces great copier with good speed and its easy to function.

Most Epson printers use separate printer ink cartridges which one cartridge for each colour ink. Epson D92 ink cartridges are consists of four individual printer cartridges because the printer has a four colour ink system. Genuine Epson ink cartridges use DURABrite ink which is a technology developed by Epson to help protect prints the second they leave the printer. DURABrite also help prevents prints from fading over long periods of time cause by exposure to UV light. Epson ink cartridges (and pretty every other brand of ink cartridges) have a reputation of being very expensive and D92 ink cartridges seem to follow in these footsteps, whoever they are no more expensive then any other ink cartridges for Epson printers. If you find the genuine Epson inks to be too expensive for you then there are cheaper alternatives avaible in the form of compatible ink cartridges from third party manufacturers. These compatible in cartridges can cost up to 60% cheaper than the original Epson ink cartridges and they contain the same amount of ink so print the same number of pages with quality that difficult to tell part from the genuine inks. Compatible inks for the D92 are avaible from all good retailers of inkjet cartridges and come with a money back guarantee.

With a footprint no bigger than an inkjet printer, the Samsung CLP-300 is the smallest colour laser printer in the world, it will fit just about anywhere and makes sit suitable for the home user. The purchase price of the printer also makes it suitable to the home user as are the price of the Samsung CLP-300 toner cartridges. The reason for needing a laser printer are usually down to wanting a printer that can handle larger print jobs than an inkjet and print than faster for a lower cost. Because the CLP-300 has a single drum unit this means it does four passes when printing colour documents and as result the CLP-300 takes four times as long to print a colour document as it does a black one, so while mono pages can be printed at good 16ppm, colour are a little slower with a maximum speed of 4ppm which is slow for a colour laser, but still far quicker than any inkjet printer can manage. Printer cartridges for the CLP-300 are reasonable cheap to buy and they print 1,000 pages each colour and 2,000 black. The cost per page for the Samsung CLP-300 printer cartridges work out around 1.8p per page black and 8.7p for colour but this can be reduced by using remanufactured Samsung toner cartridges. Print quality produced by the CLP-300 is very good, text printing impartially is excellent and colour graphics are also of reasonable quality for most peoples needs, don’t think that the CLP-300 is a photo printer however, it can print photos but know where near the standard of an inkjet printer. Overall The CLP-300 is a good buy for people looking for a good value printer to print medium/large print jobs that an inkjet printer would not be capable of handling.
