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. |

Product Description for Epson Stylus Color 850 (From the Manufacturer, Epson)
From Winmag
Epson's Stylus Color 850 offers the convenience of using only one set of cartridges ($29.95 each) for standard color and photographic-quality output. What's more, it provided faster throughput on our 20-page text document at 360dpi (4.25ppm) than did the Lexmark 7200 on our WinList. I put the company's reengineered print heads and four-color (CMYK) printing technology to the test by printing our 20-page text document and a photo of a baby. The printer delivered good-quality text and a photo that was extremely clear.
At the 360 dpi default setting, text printed on ink jet paper approached laser quality. At 720dpi, our three-page mixed text and graphics document printed at 0.76ppm with very dark black, while colors were vibrant, accurate and showed no white artifacts from incomplete coverage. However, the Lexmark 7200 did a better job than the Epson with text on inexpensive plain paper.
Printing color graphics and photographs, especially at a resolution of 1440x720dpi, highlighted one strength of the 850. Using a variety of me dia, including plain, ink jet and photographic quality papers, the Epson delivered rich colors, excellent flesh tones and clear delineation of details in photographs, though red was sometimes oversaturated.
Although the Epson offers faster print speeds than the Lexmark and needs only one set of cartridges for color and photo output, it's very noisy during operation. With better plain paper text performance, the less expensive, quieter Lexmark 7200 remains on the WinList.
From the Manufacturer
The Epson Stylus Color 850 is the new top-of-the- line color printer with faster print speeds and refined super Micro-Dot technology delivering unrivalled color print quality and laser sharp text.
