Epson Stylus C42 Plus

i don't know what to say about this printer. most common thing Epson do is eat ink. if you but Epson ink you spend lots of money for it to eat if you but compatibles you are just going to clog it both ways you are screwed. my best bet is just to go with the hp deskjet range

Excellent cheap printer. With the correct settings this printer can produce excellent results when printing photos that will satisfy the vast majority of people. Only proffesional photographers should consider spending hundreds of pounds on a better printer. its cheap and ink is the cheapest I have ever known at lerss than £1 per cart. if printing photos make sure you have "best photo" setting selected with "photo enhance" and tell it you are using "glossy photo paper". If you do not do this, you may be dissappointed with the resulting quality.

I had bad experiences with my C42 printer. It was a sale when I bought this printer and I trusted that Epson was quite a good brand. Well, it can print alright but I wasn't thrilled with the print quality. My old HP printer could print better.

The ink consumption was just average. I only used this printer for 2 months and gave it to my in-laws. I think they don't scrutinize print quality that much so it would be good for them. =)

For its size this printer is really great. I used to play crown green bowls and one season we won a cup final. I got one of the opposing team to take a photo of our team. The camera was only a 2.1g Fuji. When I showed the team the photo that was taken they didn't believe it was done on an inkjet printer, the Epson C42 Plus. I would thoroughly recommend this printer to anyone.

The Epson C42 Plus is easy to use, easy to change cartridges and great value for money.

Easy 2setup and use, ok print quality and a nice cheap printer... All in all its a good cheap nice quality printer that works 90% out of 100% and ink is cheap for it.. well recommend Epson C42 Plus, paper jams sometimes even if you have sorted the paper out but that's the problem with most printers. Cleaning the nozel takes time and sometimes wastes paper.

I purchased this Epson C42 printer for home use. I found that the ink cartridges ran out very quickly and cost a lot to replace. I tended to use my printer quite a bit at home and was amazed at how quickly I was going through the ink. I use Hewlett Packard Laserjet 4 printer. It's great. The only thing it is black and white only. When it is of no longer use I will invest in a colour/black/white printer, with perhaps a scanner, photocopier, but at the moment it's fine.

Epson C42 Plus is an excellent printer in my opinion as its great value for money, intact the only bad thing I have to say about it is the shape and size as I am slightly annoyed. However still recommend this Epson printer.

Good purchase, especially for the price.

Great for everyday use.

Really cheap on ink cartridges (only £10 for 5 back and 5 colour).

It is probably the best out there for general home use.
