Epson Stylus SX115

The newest addition to the Epson budget all-in-one range is the Stylus SX115 which promises to be an affordable and versatile device for the home and small office user. The purchase price certainly makes it affordable to buy what really makes an inkjet printer affordable is the cost of it printer ink cartridges. The Epson SX115 ink cartridges are affordable at £30 a set but they also have an advantage over most of the competitors because they consist of four separate Epson ink cartridges which basically means you only need to change one colour cartridge when it’s empty and not waste the rest of the colour ink. In terms of performance the SX115 lives up to it promises, first and foremost the print quality is excellent and probably the best in its class thanks to it super high 5760×1440dpi resolution. The SX115’s built in flatbed scanner is equally impressive with a 1200 x 2400 dpi resolution which enables it to picked up the finest detailed in photos which can they be enhanced with the bundled photo editing software. The copier is one of the functions of the SX115 which works without the need for a PC as well as direct photo printing from a memory card thanks to the built in memory card reader. One weakness of SX115 is its printing speed, inkjet are not known for their high printing speeds but the SX115 is slower than average with a 4ppm (pages per minute) average speed. The SX115 seem to in general deliver on it promises of being an affordable and versatile inkjet printer.
