Multifunction printers seem to have taken the spotlight in recent years and it seems this is where the manufacturers are concentrating all their efforts. It not hard to see why the multifunctional printer has become popular when you see the new Stylus SX405 for the first time it hard to believe that it actually a printer, scanner and photo copier all in one device. All this functionality can be purchased for under £60 which is great value for money, what’s not so great value is the running costs if you’re using genuine Epson ink cartridges. A set of Epson SX405 ink cartridges costs over £30 which is quite pricey when you consider that the printer itself only costs £60. Fortunately there are compatible printer ink cartridges available for the SX405 and they are much more reasonable at £15 a set. One advantage the SX405 has over it competitors in terms of it running costs is that it uses a more economical ink system which consists of four separate ink cartridges. Performance wise the SX405 has very little to find fault with, its weakest point is probably its printing speed which is much slower than the 34ppm stated on the official spec sheet but still reasonable for a printer in this category at 4ppm. Where the SX405 shines is in its print quality which surpasses expectations and produces great results for all documents from basic text to high resolution photos. The SX405 scanning capabilities are also impressive with its 1200 x 2400dpi resolution producing sharp detailed results when needed. The photo copier uses the flat bed scanner and also produces accurate copies with speed and efficiency. Overall The SX405 is a solid all rounder in terms of performance, quality and value for money.
