Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With an exceptional resolution of 1,470 x 720 dpi, the Epson C40UX brings your graphics vividly to life. Special fast-drying four-color inks hit the paper in microscopic 6-picoliter droplets, guaranteeing clear color separation, crisply defined details, and a smudge-free final product.

The simple two-button operation makes this printer perfect for home use. Kids can create their report covers and science projects while you prepare office documents and gorgeous photos or scrapbook pages.

There is a wide variety of paper-handling options: sizes range from index cards to legal-size sheets or banners, with the weights varying from delicate airmail paper to glossy professional photo paper. You can also print banners, transparencies, and iron-on transfers.

Monochrome documents print at an average of 8 pages per minute, while color speeds vary tremendously depending on the amount of paper being covered. The C40UX connects via your USB port on either PC or Macintosh systems. The manufacturer provides a one-year warranty on parts and labor, along with handy Epson Exchange service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great printer !, November 30, 2001

This review is from: Epson C40UX Inkjet Printer (Office Product)

Its lightweight, good looking, pretty fast, and prints great photos. Its USB connection is quite fast, its got a convenient paper input, paper output tray. The software supplied is great,especially for photos. Doesnt occupy too much of space. Simple to operate with just two buttons. I feel its pretty good for personal use in home or for students.
But it does make I think more amount of noise. This could have been better done with.
I have always liked Epson printers because they use a differnt technology than thermal inkjet printers, they give better resolution and ink dries quicker. the cartridges are also cheaper than HP. After all, in the long run, the cartridge cost matters much more than the initial cost of the printer.
On the whole, I feel its a winner with the 49.99 dollar price tag right now with the rebate. But yeah, as with most printers, it doesnt ship with a USB cable. But it includes both black and color ink cartridges.

Just purchased the Epson C40UX printer to replace a Lexmark that stopped working. I was on a budget and after doing some research decided to try the C40UX at only [price]! What a pleasant surprise! This machine prints flawlessly! Pros: nice size (not too big a machine); beautiful quality text and graphics; excellent low price! Cons: Very noisy; Black inktank is too small (will probably require many replacements if you do alot of printing); also, color cartridge is combined (separate ink tanks are more economical in my opinion).

5.0 out of 5 stars Epson C40 Printer, March 5, 2002

Maximum value and quality for the money. Print quality approaching that of printers costing three times as much.
Noisy operation, but who cares! Added bonus is the availability of inexpensive refill cartridges.

Need a Budget printer?? Buy this one!!!
