CFB_suppliesAimed at the budget end of the market the Epson Stylus SX200 offers a wide array of functions for a small price. Budget inkjet printers are usually cheap for a reason and the reason is usually they have expensive printer ink cartridges. The Epson SX200 ink cartridges are expensive if you buy the genuine Epson ink cartridges but there are cheaper alternatives in the form of compatible cartridges which can save you up to 50% over the originals. Now we’ve established that we can afford to run the SX200 we can talk a little bit about what it offers in terms of functionality. The Epson SX200 is a multifunction inkjet printer which basically means its not just a printer but a also a scanner and photo copier as well. Being a budget machine you wouldn’t expect it to be particularly good at any of these things but in some areas the SX200 does surprise. Printing is what it best at and the only fault that can be found with its printing is the speed in which it does it is a little slow. As a scanner it performs well for basic documents such as printed text and even comes with OCR software for converting into editable documents but scanning photos have average results. The photo copier is a convenient feature and is super easy to use, documents can be copied at a touch of a button and without the need for the SX200 to be connected to a PC which means you can have a document copied in seconds. The SX200 also has a memory card reader and PictBridge connection for printing photos directly from a memory card, digital camera or camera phone.
