Epson Stylus Color 640 Printer
I have had the Epson Stylus Color 640 now for aproximately 3 maybe 4 years. To me it has been an excellent printer and never let me down when i needed it the most. My former printer was an Epson Stylus Color IIs which was good but to print colour you had to swap the cartridge hopper around so you were forever alternating your cartridges. The 640 has dual cartridge holders so we have no problems when it comes to printing colours so it is very useful and time saving in that sense. On average it can print 4ppm of good quality black print and 2ppm of good quality colour print. If you have digital camera or scanner and require good photo quality print outs then this is DEFINATELY the printer for you. The quality when printing pictures on normal A4 is incredible but on photo paper you would assume they had been printed at your local photo processing shop as it has a resolution of 1440x720 compared to most printers which have either 720x720 or 600x600. The Ink for this printer is reasonably priced wherever you go to buy it. The cartridges last a long time and you rarely find yourself running out as they are very economical. The unique software supplied has the facility to tell you exactly how much remaining ink there is by the form of a simple graph and will alert you off low ink levels. The software can also control such things as Print head alignment and nozel check and can clean your print heads to enable better quality all through a couple of clicks of the mouse. If you want a relatively in-expensive machine with outstanding quality the Epson stylus Color 640 is for you.
