Epson Stylus S20 printer

 

Epson's Stylus S20 provides a budget entry point into Epson's range of borderless printers. Utilising separate DURABrite pigment inks that cost around £5.99 each, the S20 is designed to be an all-purpose printer with photo capability and with...

Good photo print quality in Best Photo mode, good text output thanks to DURABrite pigment inks

Slow set up and installation, slow print speeds, Photo output poor unless printed at top quality

Epson Stylus S20

 

Epson's latest Stylus inkjet strips away wanton features, such as memory card readers, that are superfluous if you print infrequently. It's aimed at those on a budget, who need a reliable printer for photos and documents and don't want to fork out for...

It's a natural instinct to want the best quality, a direction in which even the occasional user will lean. Such users may be able to forgive slow photo printing, but the banding and colour issues we encountered don't reflect this setting. Printing text...

Epson S20 review

 

We can't fault the prints from this value-for-money machine which also prints documents too. The Epson S20 is ideal if you don't want a portable device.

Epson Stylus S20

 

Compact, looks OK

Why do manufacturers not include cables with printers? This one is not wireless so how else would it work. Quite noisy. The black ink ran out very quickly. You get what you pay for!

Epson Stylus S20

 

I is good value for money and I found the size just right for where it was needed to be placed. I also like the individual cartridge system as I am sure it will make the purchase of cartridges cheaper.

A bit slow on getting ready to function.
