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...

Top Value

When I bought the P50 about a year ago I wondered if it would produce better images then the Epson Photo 950 it replaced, I was not disappointed, although the construction of the unit is plastic looking compared to the former it still turns out the...

Epson Stylus Photo P50

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

Software bundled with the machine is all provided by Epson and includes the company's useful Web print utility, which tries to ensure everything from a viewed Web page is printed, by compressing the width of the print image. The installation applet is...

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...

Epson Stylus Photo P50

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...
