Epson Stylus SX400

If you’re in the market for an affordable all-in-one printer the new Epson Stylus SX400 may be worth a closer look. It offers printing, scanning and copying with a price tag under £70. As with all inkjet printers the price is not the full story when it comes to cost of ownership, running cost in terms of terms of the price of printer ink is just as important as the purchase price of the printer itself. Epson SX400 ink cartridges consist of four individual cartridges, one for each of the colour inks which is economical because each cartridge can be changed independently and no ink gets wasted. A set of genuine Epson inks for the SX400 costs around £30 which is about average compared to it competitors OEM inks, but there are cheaper alternatives available in the form of compatible ink cartridges and they cost half the price of the OEM inks. Performance wise the SX400 is impressive on paper but some of its figure doesn’t stack up in the real world. Epson claim that the SX400 is capable of printing 34ppm but this is in draft quality where the standard of print quality is unacceptable bad. Increasing the quality setting to a standard where it is acceptable decreases the speed considerable. Luckily there is something the makes up for this lack of speed and is worth waiting for and that is the output quality which surpasses expectations of a printer in this class. The SX400 also offers scanning facilities which it does thanks to it slim line A4 flatbed which produces great result for a variety of documents and images. The photo copier function which work without the need for a PC also uses the flatbed scanner it producing it copies and it strikes a good balance of speed and quality. In summary the SX400 offer a wide range of features for a very reasonable price.

The low-down on the Epson Stylus D92

Designed to be a cheap solution to everyday general printing task the Stylus D92 is the entry level inkjet of the Epson range. Epson D92 ink cartridges consist of four separate inks one for each colour, these makes buying printer cartridges for the D92 much more economical because it means you only have to change the colour that is empty and no ink gets wasted unlike tri-colour mono block cartridges. This doesn’t mean however that the printer ink cartridges are cheap, in fact they cost just as much as the printer itself and they don’t print all that much either. It is a common trick used by printer manufacturers to price a printer as cheap as possible in order to convince you that it’s a bargain and this is not the only trick they try. With the Stylus D92 Epson have bent the true quite a lot on the spec sheet make it seem like it’s a very fast printer but in fact its actually a very slow printer. Epson Claim it’s possible to print 25 pages per minute with the D92 but the best ours could manage was seven pages of text in draft quality which is barley readable. Increasing the print quality setting certainly works in terms of print quality but slows the printer down even more. To print photos the printer really needs to be in the photo quality setting but this results in a 6×4 photo taking over fives minutes to complete. Although there is nothing wrong with the print quality of the D92 the low speed is to hard to ignore and it makes using the D92 a unpleasant experience.

Samsung CLP-300N – Colour laser for small works groups

Samsung have offered a number of good value mono laser printers and they hope to do the same with the CLP-300n colour laser printer. Colour lasers are notorious for having expensive printer cartridges which are only economically viable to high volume users. Samsung CLP-300n toner cartridges are cheaper to buy and yield fewer pages than your average Samsung toner cartridges but still give a good average cost per page printing. The black toner cartridge yields 2,000 pages while the each of the colours – cyan, magenta and yellow yields 1,000 pages each. Printing speed for mono documents is impressive for a budget printer at 17ppm but colour print speed is a disappointing 4ppm. This can the fact that the page tray of the CLP-300n holds only 150 sheets of paper maximum makes it not the best printer for doing heavy print runs on a regular basis. The print quality is very good whether printing plain text for high quality artwork graphics, the CLP-300 printing flawlessly on all types of media. The CLP-300n is claimed by Samsung to be the small colour laser printer in the world and seeing in the flesh it not hard to believe it a amazingly compact and will fit on anyone’s desk. Overall, a great little printer with a very little price tag.

Life And Death Experience

It was only last December, a major threat came to the whole family when my father was diagnosed to have a heart failure. It was a shocking news to everybody for never did we think that it could trigger the disease just so quickly. We brought him to different big hospitals in the city to have more opinions from the well-known doctors. Two out of the three doctors who examined him immediately recommended a Heart bypass and presented a rather gloomy prognosis for the patient unless his recommendation was heeded. The family hurriedly prepared to raise the certain amount required to be able to start the operation, and was bracing for the procedure of Coronary bypass surgery.

When we were in the hospital waiting for his operation, it was only then when I learned that lifestyle diseases, mostly cardiovascular ailments, are now the number one cause of death in the country. It does not take a genius to figure this out, given the lethal things we ingest everyday. I did a quick survey of friends and my family members my age who also live stressful lives and was shocked to discover that many among us are already hypertensive. As in my father’s case, the usual culprits were cited that stress and genes, which are sadly two major things we have very little control of. I can only imagine how intelligent the doctors who do this kind of serious operations like a Heart bypass surgery. Now, my father is doing well and living again a normal life as if he has not gone through life and death experience...
