Epson Stylus CX5000 Printer Review

The Epson CX5000 is an easy printer to operate. The ink cartridges are easy to change and the ease of knowing which cartridge to change and when is a blessing.

The printer retails for about $70.00 and compares favorably with printers costing $200 or more.  The quality of the pictures is as good or better than getting them developed professionally.  We use a digital camera and print our own pictures now.  Noone can tell the difference.

My wife downloaded an autographed picture of Daniel Craig from the Internet and printed it on our Epson CX5000 as a gift for a friend.  She thought it was an original!

The ink cartridges are not too expensive. They are about $13 to $15 each. We print a lot of pictures and the cartridges usually last about a month.

It seems wasteful that the cartridges can not be recycled or refilled.  I have done this in the past with good results with other printers. It saves money and the environment.

I would recommend the Epson CX5000 to anyone who wants a reliable printer at an affordable price.
