You have to be careful when purchasing a budget inkjet printer these days because they are invariably the printers of choice for the manufacturers to rip you off on replacement printer ink cartridges. It’s not that the ink cartridges are more expensive than ones for top of range printers is that they are expensive compared to the original cost of the printer. This is no coincidence, the printer manufactures common price their entry level budget printers as cheap as they possible can to trick you into thinking that because they are cheap to buy they must be cheap to run as well, this is very rarely the case however. The great thing about Epson printers is that the Epson ink cartridges don’t have a print head and this means the compatible ink cartridges can be manufactured by third party companies and offered for sale at a much cheap price than the branded products. Epson SX115 ink cartridges cost around £30 for a full set of four ink cartridges in genuine Epson form but the compatibles cost on average 50% less. This makes the SX115 a great proposition and as it’s cheap to buy and if you use compatible ink cartridges it’s cheap to run too. The printer itself also offer a good array of features including high resolution photo printing capabilities, A4 scanning and copying, direct photo printing from memory cards and digital cameras all in one neat compact unit.
