Two peripherals for the price of, er, two. Great photos, but some niggles and too pricey.

Epson - Stylus Photo RX685

Epson only recently released the Photo Stylus R285 for people on low budgets who wanted to produce good quality photos. Now they've released two All-in-Ones - the RX585 and the RX685 - for those with a ...

A very reasonably priced and versatile multifunction device with several new software features and a welcome DVD printing facility, but spoiled by very loud operating noise at the beginning of each task.

There are better printers for the money..

No cable to connect to your computer, my last Epson had one so I was lucky. I wonder how many use this without a computer?- pull your socks up Epson, you soon recover your costs from the ink sales! I've had this printer for 8 months. I wish I still had...
