Expert Verdict

Simple and easy-to-use printers are an ideal solution for small home installations or students or people with limited budgets. Though most of the printers are low-cost, still make themselves known by the bulk of their issues. Epson has taken a different approach with its Stylus SX235W modal. This is one of the Small-In-One range of Epson, it’s designed to fit in tighter spaces than some of its competition. This printer is decked out completely in black plastic, it surely has a smaller footprint when closed than many other printers. It is a bit bigger all around than a landscape A4 sheet but is still comparatively a good purchase. It has a dust flap at the back of the machine that raises the telescopic paper support and along with it, you have a feed tray where you can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper, or a stack of photo sheets.

At the front, the control panel moves forward and clicks into its slanted, open position. With a flip-over paper stop, Its output tray then pulls forward. It has a cheap and cheerful scanner cover that lifts to reveal a simple Contact Image Sensor (CIS) flatbed scanner. The control panel lacks an LCD, which is quite a disappointment. It has five LED indicators, including two for the wireless link, and six buttons, for power, Wi-Fi, a network status print, black and colour copies, and job cancel. As well as a USB connection port at the back of the left-hand side panel. If your router supports WPS setup, the printer can connect directly to a wireless router and doesn’t need to connect temporarily via USB. When you lift the main scanner section you'll see four Epson Stylus SX235W Ink Cartridges clipped into the permanent printhead swing into view. We don't understand why Epson needs quite so many different Epson Stylus SX235W Ink Cartridges when they all appear to deliver very similar amounts of ink in similar form factors, though you can use the multiple ones, depending on the yield and price you want.

Though this is a budget printer, Epson includes a copy of Abbyy FinerReader OCR as well as its own utility and driver software in this limite price range, which is a plus point. Also, It supports Windows and OS X and there’s a Linux driver available, as well. Coming to speeds, Epson claims speeds of 30ppm for black print and 15ppm for colour Epson Stylus SX235W Ink Cartridges with the Stylus SX235W. However, In our testing, we saw a draft black text speed of 7.7ppm, the fastest available from the machine. The text and colour graphics print is slower. There is no memory card slot on the machine, for direct printing. A single page colour copy from the flatbed can take more time than you expected. The speed of the printer is not at all impressive, even compared with all-in-ones in the same budget market, but for home use some people will be able to live with them.

Though character shape is sometimes damaged by jagged edges and slight misalignment may occur, print quality is okay, thanks to the T1295 Epson Stylus SX235W Ink Cartridges. With bright, attention-grabbing colours, the colour prints on plain paper are good. Also you would notice banding or blotchiness with excellent registration of black text over colour backgrounds. Although this machine isn’t designed as a photo printer, the photo prints are excellent, with natural colours and enough detailing. Using the more economical set Epson Stylus SX235W Ink Cartridges try to offer a minimum cost of running. The black cost is good for this range of machine, though the colour Epson Stylus SX235W Ink Cartridges costs are a bit high.

Review

Epson Stylus SX235W is one of the most affordable all-in-one printers in the range of basic home printers. The printer is good value for money for its actual cost as well as for the running cost.

Along with the basic printing, copying, and scanning features, Stylus SX235W offers a wireless and USB interface too. The printer is also compatible with Epson’s iPrint system, which lets you print directly from your phone or tablet using the free iPrint app.

The printer is called a “Small in One” printer because of its much smaller size and lightweight. However, its small size does not stop it from providing you with a good paper storage space (holds up to 100 sheets). The navigation buttons are easy to use.

The printer has separate ink slots, so you can replace individual colour cartridge instead of buying all colour cartridges again.

Q. There is no ink on the paper although the printer sounds like it is printing. How to get rid of this problem?

A. There are chances that the print head nozzles are choked or blocked due to dirt or uncleanness. So clean the printheads from the utility section that can be found in the Epson printer driver. Perform the head cleaning first followed by printing a nozzle check pattern. A head cleaning and a nozzle check should be performed as a loop. Refer the user manual for step by step instructions.

If the nozzle check is not printing completely, try to replace the Epson SX-235W ink cartridges. You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight as this will allow any dried ink to get soft and then try to clean the print head again. If nothing helps, then try replacing the ink cartridges or your printer may require service. In that case you should contact Epson technical support for further assistance.

Q. When using the compatible cartridges on my Epson SX-235W printer previously, I found that the ink level software doesn't work. Can you guarantee that the software will work with your compatible ink cartridges?

A. It can be a shortcoming with the use of the compatible cartridges that they don't always show the ink levels accurately. However, this should not be a major problem.

Q. The printer only cost me 60 euro to buy which is relatively cheap for a printer. I'm wondering if there are any maintenance issues with the printer is it worth fixing as the supplier only give 6-month guarantee.

A. As you mentioned the printers are inexpensive like a lot of the Epson budget models. The dilemma is to fix the printer should any problems arise or just go and replace the printer as the cost so little. The extent of the maintenance will decide what to do. Regular issues will usually revolve around the Epson stylus sx235w ink cartridges. This is where all the work is being done so naturally, this is where the maintenance issues will occur. The printer does provide a maintenance tools box in the properties section. Replacing the ink cartridge, cleaning the print heads and aligning the colours are very quick procedures that will address 90% of the potential problems. If you are using compatible Epson stylus sx235w ink cartridges it is definitely good practice to run through these tools monthly and when you are replacing the ink. It will avoid the same issues down the line and make life easier.

However, if the maintenance tasks are more sinister, perhaps the print heads are done and need to be replaced or the paper feed is not attaching the paper. An engineer will be required but the cost of a call out response to fix will not justify the overall value of the printer. In this instance, it is advisable to purchase a new machine unless of course, the engineer charges are below this.

If this happens definitely contact us with a brief explanation of the problem. We will do our best to find a solution. We provide technical support for the Epson stylus sx235w ink cartridges as we do for all our products.

Q. I purchased ink cartridges online for my Epson SX-235W printer. After 10 days of installing it in the printer, the print quality is not as it was initially. The printer says that the cartridges are low on ink. What seems to be a problem with the ink cartridges?
