Epson WorkForce 545 Color Inkjet Multifunction Printer

Easy to set up, easy to use, great printer. Thanks.
Caroline, 01/18/2012

Epson Artisan 835 - Multifunction ( fax / copier / printer / scanner ) - color - ink-jet - copying (up to): 38 ppm (mono) / 38 ppm (color) - printing (up to): 9.5 ipm (mono) / 9 ipm (color) - 120 sheets - 33.6 Kbps - Hi-Speed USB, 10/100 Base-TX, 802.11b, 802.1

I am a graphic designer and spent many hours evaluating my options before purchasing a new printer for my home/office use. It came down to a choice between a Canon Pixma MG6220 or an Epson Artisan 835. I needed decent print quality, a decent scanner, and ability to print directly onto printable CD/DVD's. Both options had all of these. The Canon seemed to offer slightly better print quality but many new users of this product reported much higher than normal ink usage and ink replacement costs. The Epson is not cheap as far as ink costs either, but based on my previous good experience with the 835's older sibling (an RX580) I decided on this one. I have not been disappointed.

The print quality is excellent, ink usage seems minimal for my small office purpose, and unlike the reviews I read regarding the Canon, the 835 does not constantly run its internal head-cleaning routine which means it uses less ink in the long run. Unless I send a print command to the 835 it just sits quietly in sleep mode and powers up fast when needed.

The only complaint I have is with Epson's scanner software. With my older Epson RX580 I could send all scans directly to Photoshop, but with this one, everything goes to Epson's scanner app called Image Capture. Image Capture works fine and has more scan options than the older scan software I had with the RX580, but if I want to take anything into Photoshop I now have to scan with Image Capture, drop the file on my desktop then open the file in PS (in short, it's now a two step process instead of a one step process.)

Other than the scanner software, I have nothing to complain about and much to praise regarding this printer. It's a good value for the money, very fast print speeds, and after my first month of use I still have lots of ink left in the original cartridges.

HP LaserJet PRO P1102W - Printer - B/W - laser - Legal - 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi - up to 19 ppm - capacity: 160 sheets - USB, 802.11b, 802.11g

Excellent printer, no problems, hoping to find the toner is economical. Time will tell.

Printers and Print Supplies

One of the most important peripheral devices in the office and at home are printers. The printers’ main function is to imprint electronic text or graphics to a print media such as paper, transparencies, etc. Documents, photos, school projects, and giant billboard signs materialize with from printers. Taking its origins from the printing press of the ancient days, modern-day printers have become a necessity in every office and home.

Due to the fast-paced development of technology, the once simple printing machine has been turned into a multi-purpose device. Multi-function printers have a printer, scanner, copier and fax machine integrated into one. Also, the once printer cable that connects printers to the computer either directly or through the local access network, today has gone wireless as well.

Like computers, the development of printers has made it more personalized for different needs. One is the dot-matrix printer which has the same mechanism as the typewriter which uses a printer head and a ribbon, although letters are printed in dot matrix. Another is the inkjet printer which it prints images by propelling ink droplets to the print media. Laser printers work when a laser beam which projects an image to a charged printer drum and imprints the image to the media through a dry ink or toner. Photo printers are designed to produce high-quality color photos prints. Thermal printers work by producing printed material using a thermal paper which when passing through a heated print head, the paper turns black—creating an imprint. Lastly, the wide-format printer is used for creating large banners or posters, fit for outdoor media advertising companies.
