Reviews Summary:
The summary is based on testimonials of the Epson RX600 Printer users and editors in various sources such as PC Magazine, Cnet, PCWorld etc.
Epson RX600 produces good quality photos. Six separate ink cartridges decrease ink cartridge costs. Copy machine function works well too. The built in multicard reader which eliminates the need to switch on the PC to access photos or save to media and the extra USB port for daisy-chaining devices and an intuitive are some of its good features.
