Epson CX5200 Printer Review

As an all-in-one printer, the Epson Stylus CX5200 offers scan, print and copy functions that produce excellent quality results. Its copier can work without a necessary PC connection, and the Stylus can create up to 99 duplicates at fast speeds of up to 15 copies per minute using black Epson CX5200 ink. Its monthly duty cycle of 5,000 pages is large enough for businesses and workplaces to produce mid-volume output rates.

This unit's 48-bit color flatbed scanner has a maximum scan area of 8.5x11.7 inches, and its interpolated resolution can reach up to 9600 dpi with color printer ink. A full color 4x6 inch photo takes a little over a minute to print. Its print speed using black Stylus CX5200 ink is 22 pages per minute and 11 pages per minute using color. Its maximum print resolution of 5760x1400 dpi creates superior results.

The colors black, cyan, magenta and yellow come in 4 separate printer ink tanks for this inkjet device. Its black Stylus CX5200 ink cartridge yields about 1,240 pages for users who print mostly text documents and 870 pages for graphics. This unit has a lower yield for its color Epson CX5200 ink cartridges, which expire after approximately 420 pages. These tanks use DURABrite Epson CX5200 inks that have been tested to be fade and water resistant on plain paper.

Software for this inkjet unit includes Epson PhotoImpression and Epson Film Factory Software. Its input tray can hold up to 150 sheets, an amount capable of supporting any business that has average work rates. Its convenient 17.8x17.1x10 inch size allows the CX5200 to fit comfortably on desks. The Epson Stylus CX5200 is ideal for consumers looking for a reliable business printer with multifunction capabilities that can create quality results at fast rates.
