Epson Stylus SX405 – compact multifunction inkjet printer
The Epson Stylus SX405 is a compact device that can print, copy and scan without taking up much space. It offers high-quality printing, scanning and copying, complete with LCD viewer, in one compact space saving product that won’t clutter your home or office. Running costs are kept to a minimum with a individual printer ink cartridges system that uses four ink cartridges one for each of the colours (black, cyan, magenta and yellow) which means only the colours that get used need to be replaced. The cost of the Epson SX405 ink cartridges depends on which type of cartridges you choose, there are the genuine Epson ink cartridges which cost £30 for a set or the compatibles which cost £15 a set. The SX405 has some impressive performance figures on paper some of which have obviously been exaggerated by Epson to put it into a better light. The figure that stands out is the claimed 34ppm printing speed which turns out unsurprisingly to be nowhere near the actual maximum printing speed of the SX405. Other impressive figures such as the impressive 5760dpi x 1440dpi print resolution seem to check out however as the SX405 produces excellent print quality for all the documents it prints. The built in A4 flatbed scanner also delivers in terms of quality as well as speed and comes complete with software for photo editing. The photo copier function works without the need for a PC and it also produces good results with a good balance between quality and speed of copying. In general the SX405 is a good all round device but lacks something that it excels in which makes it middle of road compared to some of its competitors.
