Important Printer Buying Tip: ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month) times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge). Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular cartridge. For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The monthly "cost of ownership" is (150 pages) x ($28) = $21 200 pages Also look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits. |

Detailed Specs (Epson Stylus Color 740):
Product Description for Epson 740 (From the Manufacturer, Epson)
The Epson Stylus Color 740 produces near laser-quality text and 1,440-dpi printed color images. Epson's PerfectPicture Imaging System, a blend of features that includes tiny ink jets, smooth AccuPhoto Halftoning, and quick-drying inks helps produce rich color.
Setting up the Epson 740 was straightforward for an ink-jet printer. We followed the short setup instructions and connected the printer cable (not included) to our PC. When Windows detected the new printer, we followed the Windows New Hardware wizard and specified that our new printer driver was in the CD-ROM drive. The driver automatically installed itself and additional software as well. (When setting up, be careful not to remove the blue section of the protective tape that covers the ink cartridges.)
We tested Epson's claim that its technology produces printing "noticeably richer, deeper, and finely detailed" by printing text in a variety of fonts and sizes. Although our samples were obviously from an ink-jet printer rather than a laser printer, they were still very sharp. We also printed color digital photographs on specialty ink-jet photo paper; the resulting printouts were bright and detailed.
Ink-jet technology is a low-cost way to get sharp text and beautiful colors, and the Epson 740 implements the technology in an easy-to-use package.
Pros:
- Easy to set up
- Prints sharp text and graphics
Cons:
- Slow printing of high-resolution graphics and pictures
- Printer cable not included
This printer model is not being manufactured by Epson any more
PC WORLD.com Editors' review:
The $279 Epson Stylus Color 740 features the smallest droplet size in the industry, the company said. Generally speaking, the smaller the droplet size, the crisper and better-defined images will be. Small droplet size can also contribute to richer colors.
The Stylus Color 740 is aimed at the small-business user. It features 1440 x 720 dpi resolution and supports Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectivity for both Windows 98 and Macintosh, including the new iMac. The model runs at approximately 6 pages per minute (ppm) monochrome and 4.5 ppm for color text and graphics, according to Epson. Bundled software includes Adobe PhotoDeluxe 2.0 and Broderbund's The Print Shop PressWriter.
