Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The easy-to-use Epson Stylus C62 offers an astounding value with 14 ppm black text printing (10 ppm color) and 5,760 x 720 optimized dpi using Resolution Performance Management technology.

Using Epson Micro Piezo inkjet technology, the printer produces high-quality cards, flyers, and more. When printing from the Web, it modifies low-resolution images for better image quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product!, November 5, 2002

I recently bought this printer and enjoy the quality output it produces. Setup was a snap (I use Windows XP) and everything installed beautifully. I snapped the accompanying print cartridges in and I was off to the races. I quickly printed out a webpage and then some color photographs on inkjet index cards which came out decent. Then I popped in a 4x6 glossy, used the software that came with it and with minimal maneuvering, came out with a beautifully printed photo. I am impressed that this printer can practically do it all: it supports many paper sizes, envelopes, stickers and iron transfers.

For this price, this printer is a dream. I do admit though it is quite noisy and it takes a minute or so to print a 4 x 6 glossy photograph but these are not issues for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good printer but note the cons, September 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Epson Stylus C62 Inkjet Printer (Office Product)

I bought this printer in February 2003 ... after discount and bonus. I kept track of the number of copies I achieved from the second black & white cartridge (the first uses more ink while the new printer is setting up). From this second cartridge I got a total of 400 black copies including 75 in "economy" mode... So, it cost me 6.25 cents per page. However, one has to add the price of part of of the color cartridge since even while printing with black some of the color cartridge is used by the printer e.g when it cleans the print head. Although I made only 21 color prints since I got the printer six months ago, the color cartridge is getting low... So all in all, I figure that the black printing cost me about 8 cents per page. Print quality is very good, and for color and photos it is excellent.
The printer is fast when actually printing (there is periodic cycling time for print head cleaning). It is noisier than other printers, but although I am very sensitive to noise I don't find it as annoying as other reviewers have observed. But I wouldn't want to be in a room with more than one C62.
When placing envelopes care must be taken that the slide is tight against the left side of the envelope or the address might come out slightly crooked. For placing sheets, I find the C62 slightly more inconvenient than it was in my old Epson 740. Since I use several different letterheads and qualities of paper, I am constantly putting 8.5 x 11 sheets on and off the machine. My 740 was a snap, but on the C62 I sometimes have to fiddle a bit more to get the paper to lay properly. That is no problem for someone who uses the same paper most of the time.
Overall, I am satisfied with this printer even though ink usage appears higher than I would like. I don't know how other printers stack up against the price figures of my estimate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Great, September 30, 2003

I am a desktop publisher I print a lot. My own digital photography is the primary source to my designs. I use Epson printers for its good print quality of digital images. I usually have three printers running at the same time when it comes to the final steps in my work, when the item I designed (i.e. invitations, business forms etc...) needs to be printed, which often means output in large numbers. Presently I use besides the C 62 also three other Epson printer models for my printing needs. In the past 4 years I have gone through five earlier Epson Stylus printer models (used up because my printing volume is 5 to 10 times that of average printing). From my presently used printers I am most impressed by the C 62 in both areas: print quality remains excellent to the last drop of ink, and its economical output of prints (both ink cartridges , black and color go very far without decreasing the print quality). Most printers do well when printing in the high range of pixels/inch, the C 62 does excellent in the lower pixel/inch range as well, outdoing all my other printers I had and have so far. I use settings ranging from automatic plus speed over normal to fine when not needing the crisp, sharp look of a photographic image and I therefore try to decrease unnecessary use of ink, plus gaining some output speed. I am highly impressed with the performance of the C 62. It leaves all printers I used and use in the dust with one exception of a former Epson model which I will mourn forever, yet the C 62 comes close. I will order at least two more Epson Stylus C 62 printers over the next couple of months, possibly even three more. My experience is based on high print volume, which definitely goes far beyond the average of using inkjet printers.
