Epson Stylus CX3200 All-in-One Multifunction

 (29 customer reviews)

i bought this all-in-one epson cx3200 in march,2003
unlike the previous reviewer there is nothing broken out of box, i'm sure its just a isolated incident..anywayz, the print quality is awesome! i could hardly distinguish the original when printing on photo paper. and yes, when printing at its highest resolution it does take about 3 min for a full page of photo.text print is very close to laser quality, very sharp. alot faster than printing in photo.copy function works perfectly. there are 2 buttons, one for black copy and one for color copy. both works good because the scanning and printing goes concurrently.scanning is good as well.

After owning an Epson 880 printer, I decided to upgrade to an multifunction printer for it's features. I needed a printer/ scanner/copier. This is the printer for me. The plus side is it's simple features, ease of use, and price. The b/w copier makes the copies with simple push of the button. It also does color copy. The software allows me view my scanned pictures in a picture gallery, rename it, and then save the ones I want only. The printing quality for photo paper is acceptable. After comparison shopping, I found this model under $$$$ after rebate. Also, an added bonus, the printer comes with a USB cable connection($$$ value) which most printers require you to buy separately. The negatives are that XP Windows user should download a update/patch from microsoft.com for the software to run properly. No problem, I followed the instructions and the printer is up and running. The paper did jam once so I removed the paper and redid the print job. No problems with jamming since...Read more
