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...

Worthless piece of junk

Pros I honestly can't think of any.
Cons Everything.
Recommended it? No

This printer is the most worthless piece of junk I've ever used. I got it free from my school with my laptop, and it's caused me more frustration than any other piece of electronic equipment I've ever used... and I've been working in the computer business for the past 4 years.

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 »

Pros Space saving printer.Inexpensive.
Cons Prints slowly and uses a lot of ink.
Recommended it? Yes

We bought this printer just for general use and it works just fine for printing letters,cards,and fun pictures for the kids. I wouldn't recommend it for photographs but for typical home use it works okay.

This printer does tend to be a bit slow and seems to run out of ink quickly. It does... 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 »

Pros It was free with PC purchase
Cons Cost more to keep than to just buy a new printer. Worthless piece of junk.
Recommended it? No

I've grown tired of this piece of crap. The heads constantly needs cleaning and I speed more ink cleaning the heads than I do printing out material. Junk, junk, junk. Read full review »

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

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 »

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 Size Paper handling(prints on almost anything)
Cons Ink Usage Speed
Recommended it? Yes

I read all the other reviews in regards to this printer, and I guess I will be one of the few that has nothing but praise for this little machine. I got my Epson c42ux for free(traded my mom for it, she gave me the Epson for an old HP Deskjet-her PC didnt have USB port). From the first day that I... Read full review »

There's nothing stylish about this piece of crap

Pros You can see the flames through the smoke-tinted front window.
Cons You can see the flames through the smoke-tinted front window.
Recommended it? No

This printer is junk. Read on for the story of the fire in my printer. It's noisy, (it makes a sound like crickets when the red light is blinking, which is all the time). It's slow, there's zero customer service, and the toner evaporates faster than water in the sahara. Someone in another review... Read full review »
