 very poor printer-- don't be taken in by the bargain price! April 14, 2003

So I got this printer b/c I'm a college student and my free dell canon printer broke down-- i needed something [reasonable]. SO I found this printer, very [reasonable]. It worked fine but the print quality gets very poor after a week or so-- ask anyone who had it for more than a month. Sure it's a great printer for that month but then printing gets horrible. I mean really poor. It can get very annoying because you have to clean the head constantly (as if it were an old printer) and print and re-print things until you get a decent copy. Ink is smeared on the copy, etc. I know many people who bought this printer b/c it's so[reasonable]-- they all say, it was good at first (considering the price) but it's horrible now. Please, please do yourself a favor and don't worry about price when it comes to printers. Invest a little more, I know i wish i did!

I don't write reviews but for the first week of using this printer I hated it. Constantly had to clean the head and waste ink. Lo and Behold I sat down and read the manual for this printer. For years I have used printers that I simply turned off with a master computer switch. Epson is different. You must turn the printer off with it's own power switch. Otherwise the heads do not charge properly. This took care of all the complaints I had with this printer. The C42UX is the best inexpensive printer I have ever used. Just remember, from day one that you use the printer, turn the thing off with it's own power switch. All Epson Ink Jet printers sound loud and clunkey. Thats the way they are made. You find me a better printer for the money and I will buy it.Js

Look, this is a cheap printer and you get what you pay for. Personally, I've used it to print resumes, sheet music and papers for school. It's been fine for all of the above. I've never tried to print a photo on it but I wouldn't waste my time doing that anyway. Since you hopefully didn't pay more than $40 for this thing, you shouldn't expect photo quality. It has lasted me 2 years now, and it prints almost as well today as it did when I got it. It's certainly nothing special, but based on all the "one star" reviews below, you would think this thing didn't even work.
So yes, it's slow, uses ink too quickly and doesn't print in high resolution. But if you want to save money-- and aren't printing photos or running a home business-- this thing will work fine.
