Epson Stylus CX5000 Printer Review Summary

If printing is important, but you need more, the Epson Stylus CX5000 Printer could be the printer for you. This multi- functional machine prints, copies, and scans, making it a great choice for those who want more and want many functions in a single machine. Epson Stylus is also very good for printing photos and some say that the photo printing alone makes this a printer worth owning. Still, opinions are mixed overall and comments ranging from “Great Printer that does it All”, to “Excellent Photo Printer for a Low Price to Own and Operate”, to “A Lot of Great Features for Mediocre Quality” prove that point. The problem areas with the Epson Stylus include its tendency to eat ink, its problem with consitent print quality, and its control problems when using the scanner. These cons pull the ratings down and make the Epson Stylus CX5000 Printer an average Printer that some will like and some will loathe.

Great printer that does it all

JUL

The CX5000 is a great printer. It prints great quality photos and has a cartridge for each individual color. This reduces waste as my previous printer would need to be changed when there was still plenty of a color left. The scanner works excellent. I scanned a picture and printed it in 8x10... read full 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...

A lot of great features for mediocre quality.

The Epson Stylus Photo has a lot of great features such as the LCD, seven color ink, including black photo ink, etc. However, the quality of the photos leaves something to be desired. I have done all the imaginable troubleshooting, but I still see bands in my prints, and poor color quality. Another down fall is that the ink just seems to disappear. even when not in use. I feel as though I am constantly replacing ink cartridges. There is also little control on output quality when you scan. It defaults that the input is a photo and very few programs let you override the quality. ... read full review »

I'm extremely happy with my CX5000. The print quality is great and It is very easy to maintain. Replacing ink cartridges is a snap. It has dust covers for the paper input and output slots to help keep it clean. The various input ports--camera, usb, memory card--are easy to access.

The scan capability and quality are fantastic. When I place multiple pictures or other items on the scanner it easily picks them out individually so that I can scan six pictures at one time.
