Do Not Waste Your Money

 

I have now come to the mindset that home printing is like pouring money down a drain, having bought three A3+ printers and spending a fortune on inks, only to get very bad results after a few months, using just about a full set of inks trying to get...

Epson P50 review

 

The Epson P50 is a single function printer that seems strangely bare of extras.

A reasonable quality, reasonably well priced single function printer, the Epson P50 struggles to make its mark against printers that have greater features sets or produce better prints. It's by no means a bad printer, however, and it is a fairly swift...

Epson Stylus Photo P50 review

 

Epson's Stylus Photo P50 is one of the single-function inkjet printers available today. There's no scanner, card reader or even a PictBridge USB port for direct camera printing; just a simple USB connection to a single PC. As you might expect, it's...

This compact inkjet produces truly great photos, but it lacks a scanner, card reader or network interface. We expect more at this price.

This six-colour inkjet photo printer can print CD/DVD labels, too.

There are good and bad points to the Epson Stylus Photo P50. On the upside you have six-colour print, a good photo print speed and the extra facility of being able to print on CDs and DVDs. On the downside you have relatively high running costs, no...

Slow 'Best Photo' mode prints; no card reader

The Stylus Photo P50 produces quality photos, but only if you use the highest settings

This high definition printer from Epson uses the company's own Claria Photographic Ink that Epson claims exceeds lab quality prints. When replacing the cartridges you only replace the ink you use, making it cost-effective. It'll even do prints in as...

Epson - Stylus Photo P50

 

Small, compact and attractive, the Stylus Photo P50 from Epson stands out from the majority of inkjet printers and MFDs in that it's surprisingly light on features. The front of the printer is relatively clutter-free, with ...

The Epson Stylus Photo P50 is a decent photo printer that's able to produce vivid prints. We do have some reservations, though, such as the time it takes prints to appear at the highest-quality setting and the lack of a built-in card reader. We'd also...
