Cheap, noisy and VERY slow. Don't buy.

6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros cheap - good quality if you have time to wait.
Cons Very very slow. Noisy. Used lots of ink.
Recommended it? No

I bought the C42 because it was cheap, and while the photo quality is great you will go gray waiting for it to print...give it at least 15 minutes for one print! The driver is terrible and I can't get it to print in small type. On my other computer and printer (Epson 800) what takes one page will... Read full review »

Pros Low Cost Ink, Average Quality (Prints), USB
Cons Printing Speed, Ink hunger
Recommended it? No

This printer prints with average quality. It gave a clear text, and good brightful color using its separated 4 colors ink tech. It is very easy to change the ink tank (not catriage). You acn also see thru the printing process from the semi tranparent panel, opening the panel does not stop or pause... Read full review »

Good thing it was free

Pros inexpensive
Cons cartridges cannot be refilled, slow and noisy
Recommended it? No

This is the kind of printer that comes free with new computers. This is definitely a bait & switch item. Looks inexpensive going in but the final charges are outrageous. The copies are decent, it is not photo quality but acceptable however it is fast enough for a casual home user only. The misery... Read full review »

Pros excellent photo quality relatively fast (in economy mode)
Cons faulty sensor extremely slow photo printing too loud vibrates too much printer driver...
Recommended it? No

The epson c42ux prints text in economy mode in realtively fast speeds, although printing colour slows speeds. On star-up the printer vibrates excessively and is very noisy. It is very noisy when printing. A 4x6 on best mode takes 13 minutes! That is unacceptable. Also, the sensor says black ink is... Read full review »

Pros Cost, easy install WIN2k, Cost of Ink, Quality of print.
Cons SLOW, SLOW, SLOW!
Recommended it? No

Bought Epson Stylus C42UX Printer as a replacement for an Epson Photo Stylus 700 that was having mechanical problems. I am running WIN2K. Was attracted by the Price, $80 less a $30 rebate. Ink was cheap. Speed specs. appear to be comparable with higher priced printers. Setup was smooth and Win2K... Read full review »

Good bang for the buck... at first.

Pros Cheap, good quality prints (for the price), fast
Cons Expensive ink, can't refill the cartridges using a kit.
Recommended it? Yes

I picked this printer up at a "generic" store for 65$ Cnd... It was a deal, I was very happy with the printer at first, but then it "ran out" of ink... I put "ran out" in quotes, because I know that there is still ink in the cartridges. It is not possible to refill these cartridges with a refill... Read full review »

Pros It's cheap and it looks nice.
Cons Extremely poor quality.
Recommended it? No

This printer is the worst piece of equipment I've ever come across. It worked fairly well for about a week, and i have had problems with it ever since. It runs out of ink after printing like 5 10 page papers, and the printing quality is extremely poor. There are always smudge lines through words... Read full review »

Epson Stylus C42UX: Superb Cheap Color Printing

byquasar Dec 16, 2002
60 Helpfuls 61 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros superb color quality, easy to change toner, separate black and color cartridges
Cons slow, noisy, low paper capacity, runs through toner quickly
Recommended it? Yes

The Epson Stylus C42UX is one of the slowest inkjet printers I've used in recent memory and one of the loudest. It was more difficult to set up than the other model I've personally installed (the Lexmark Z25) and it's got a much bigger footprint than similar Lexmark models. So why then am I...

Pros Cheap.
Cons Slow and worthless
Recommended it? No

Was looking for a cheap printer for backup work, ie photos that didnt need to look perfect, text copying. This printer is very cheap but photos are way off with wierd patterns, and printing text so that its decent quality is like crossing the Bay Bridge heading east at rush hour. 10 minutes a page...

C42UX is BAD!!!

byhonksandsirens Dec 11, 2002
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good photo and print quality, paper handling, software utility.
Cons Super slow speed, uses up ink cartridges very quickly, loud.
Recommended it? No

The print quality is fairly good both for black and white and color, and the paper handling is good. Also the software utility gives a nice interface for seeing how much ink is left, and for aligning the printing heads, etc. But for the most part this printer is absolutely terrible. It takes a very... Read full review »
