Epson Stylus Photo PX720WD

 

A top of the range, photo all-in-one which works a lot of good design into a small, neat box, with particularly neat CD/DVD print.

Integrated, powered photo tray ; Quick turnaround of duplex pages ; Fast photo prints

Black print on plain paper can be fuzzy ; Noisy paper feed ; Comparatively pricey colour print

Epson's Stylus Photo PX720WD is ideal for those interested in printing images directly from their own photos and getting the best from them. It's six colour print produces beautiful colours quickly and with plenty of detail. It's not so good on plain...

Epson Stylus Photo PX720WD review

 

The Epson Stylus Photo PX720WD isn't a cheap photo printer, but it's a very strong performer with some nice features underneath the lid.

The Epson Stylus Photo PX720WD is old-fashioned in places. Overall, though, it's a very strong performer with some nice features underneath the lid. It's not cheap, but for a top quality multifunctional photo printer, this is a clear first stop.

Epson Stylus Photo PX720WD review

 

Epson's inkjets have long used individual ink cartridges attached directly to the head assembly, but the Stylus Photo PX720WD is something of a departure. Its cartridges fit into a front compartment and ink is fed to the moving print head through tubes.

It's not ideal for office work, but if you want a superb MFP for creative projects you needn't spend more.

Epson's six-colour printing produces excellent photo quality, though this does push up the cost of colour printing

Good price and performance with outstanding six-colour photo-printing; good range of features, including printing lined and graph paper

Big and bulky; photo printing is expensive

The only disadvantage is that using six inks increases the printing cost. Epson wouldn’t provide us with official costs, but we estimate that photo prints will come in at around 11p per page, although ordinary black-and-white printing should be a more...

Epson Stylus Photo PX720WD

 

The Epson Stylus Photo PX720WD is everything you could want from a midrange printer. It features a 6 ink system allowing for great depth of colour and the 5760 x 1440 dpi will ensure results are crisp and clear every time.

The Espon Stylus Photo PX720WD features a clear 2.5 inch screen that makes printer setup and maintenance a breeze, you no longer have to run numerous utilities through your PC just to diagnose an issue or find out which inks you are running low on –...

Though the functionality of the PX720WD is great and does justify its size – for a midrange printer, this takes up a little too much space for our liking. If you are looking for something to fit in a small office or bedroom, you may want to consider...

For £130 the PX720WD is a great printer, packed with features, replacement ink is fairly cheap and this printer would suit any home office or student dorm well. Just make sure you have the room for it before purchase!

Adrian Wilson reviews the all-in-one printer and scanner Epson Stylus Photo Printer PX720WD.

Excellent print quality; Full of features – scanner, Wi-Fi, CD printing etc.; Simple to use on-printer menus; Duplex printing saves paper when printing documents; 6 inks in separate tanks

Scans seem a little lighter than expected

Disappointed

 

I have had to think long and hard about this review due to the balance between pro's and con's. The pro's first, this printer is a heavy bit of kit and feels like a well made printer it's fairly quiet when printing and does not cause my whole desk to...
