When it comes to choosing a multifunction inkjet printer it would appear that you are spoiled for choice because there are so many on the market from numerous different manufacturers. However, all it not as it would seem because most of the budget multifunction printers have a dark secret which is only revealed when it comes time to change the printer ink cartridges. Their secret is that the replacement printer cartridges cost just a mach as the printer itself, so if you want a printer that won’t bankrupt you it imperative that you check the price of the printer cartridges before you purchase the printer, also look for printer that have compatible ink cartridges available for them. One such multifunctional printer is the SX200 which uses four individual Epson ink cartridges and means you only need change the colour cartridges which is empty and the other are unaffected, meaning no ink gets wasted. A set of genuine Epson SX200 ink cartridges costs around £30 but the compatibles cots half as much and still print the same amount. Performance of the Epson SX200 is true to it’s impressive spec sheet except for a few things like print speed which is nowhere near as fast as Epson claim, but it’s print quality surpasses exceptions. You don’t really known how good a printer is until you get it home and try it but a good way of gauging performance is to read user reviews online.
