4.0 out of 5 stars Good Photo Quality on a Budget, 21 Jan 2003
I've found the printer is capable of printing reasonably good photos on glossy paper, though the printed dots are visible on close inspection, it's acceptable at this price. It isn't especially amazing on plain paper, but I find it ok for general prints. Running costs would be high if I stuck with Epson Cartridges. You can get compatibles for around £5 for either black or colour, which keeps running costs down.

It does drink Black ink much faster than Colour, which is odd as it only gets used for colour printing. Also it's slow for photo printing, about 1/2 hour to print a sheet of A4 at highest quality. And as a final grudge, though its something Epson's seem susceptible too, the printheads clog if it's left on for a while when not printing, or if it hasn't been used for over a week. So I make sure I print weekly, and switch it off when not printing.

All in all I find it complements my laser printer well. For the price it's not a bad printer, and ideally suits light, but regular use.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great printer, but..., 26 Oct 2002
By P. Grocutt "stuffedwalrus" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After buying myself a digital camera (fuji finepix 2600), i thought it about time my Canon bjc250 printer was replaced.
That replacement was the Epson C42UX. I have to say i was very pleasantly surprised, the photo prints were excellent at 8 X 10 on a good quality glossy paper, crisp and clear. Even A4 prints from my SLR camera were of equal or better quality than enlargements from my usual high street processor. For the price this printer is a steal, the only reason stopping it from getting 5 stars is the small capacity of the ink cartridges. I find myself replacing the black cartridge with alarming regularity, and this can get quite expensive when you`re printing even just a few photographs. To sum up, an excellent printer let down by its cartridges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, 9 Oct 2002
A standard setup programme sets up the printer easily. Testing the printer using glossy photo paper (provided) was stunning. The picture printed was a national geographic wallpaper of two cheetahs and even the brstling hair on the ears of the cheetah is crystal clear. The printer settings is straight forward, with certain presets for photo print-outs and the is a quality-speed setting where you can choose the amount of compromise between print speed and quality. Black and white prints are pretty quick and no frills. For a printer of this price [...] it is highly impressive.
