Epson Stylus™ CX5400 All-In-One InkJet Printer

Pros: great scanning, feature-full, easy PC-free copying, nicely designed, good ink efficiency, decent basic printing
Cons: a few terrible software interfaces, so-so photo printing quality, not cheap, no phone-fax

This is a VERY LONG, in-depth review of the Epson CX5400, which, being an all-in-one, has lots of things, features, and software issues to review. To assist potential buyers who don’t necessarily want a huge amount of information on ...

Pros: Versatile. Good scanning quality and printing results. Good value. Great photo restoration feature.
Cons: Unreliable - printer broke after 8 months, but now working fine after warranty service.

Updated December 2006 - I used my Epson CX5400 for about 8 months until it stopped printing. Initially I decided it was just low printer ink level, jammed cartridges or a clogged ink jet head, so I delayed trying to fix it. Big mistake...the one year ...

Pros: Price, Ink usage, Features, Setup
Cons: Not a one

A great multifunction color inkjet printer with scan and color copy features (no faxing capability). The copier works independently of the computer and will minimize to 25% or enlarge to 400%. My previous printer was an Epson 777. It printed great ...

Pros: Fast printing, Ease of operation, Value for the money, Solid construction
Cons: No duplexing, No document feeder for scanner, No photo negative scanning, No Separate Envelope feeder

I have done a lot of research before getting this printer/copier/scanner for my home. I also have now tested it out thoroughly through three weeks in operation. If I had to go out and look for another multi-function device right now, I would buy this ...

Pros: Price, features and construction. Overall, a great value for the money!
Cons: Difficulty accessing the printers advanced properties from the desktop.

I've been very skeptical about Epson products for years because I've heard about the difficulties they've had with their drivers not working correctly on windows platforms. Until I bought the Epson Stylus CX5400. Admittedly I've had the unit for ...

Pros: Very good scanning and graphics output
Cons: Very short lifespan; expensive ink cartridges

I purchased this printer 16 months ago for home use after being talked out of buying an HP by the salesman at Best Buy. He talked up the fact that this printer was reliable and economical to use due to the single black and three separate color ink ...

Pros: Nice look, good quality printing and scanning, stand-alone copier
Cons: Lacks fax/phone qualities, loud, software isn't very useful

After the 'death' of my very old and reliable epson stylus inkjet printer, I decided to purchase another epson as I was impressed with the long life and print quality of my previous printer. I decided on a multifunction to get rid of my scanner and save ...

Pros: Amazing quality for the price, great scanning, great copying, great printer
Cons: Not really a con, just an observation: Borderless printing doesn't work on 8.5x11

I bought this unit based on the reviews I had read here and on a few other product review sites. I knew from it's reputation that it would be good, but I was not prepared for the quality of this wonderful printer. The first thing I did when I got ...

Pros: Built like a Mercedes, priced like Kia, performs like a Toyota.
Cons: Given the price, to point out flaws would be nitpicking.

I've had many printers over the past 20 years (yes.. 20). My most recent printer was a Canon S750, which printed great out of the box, but deteriorated over the year, and finally made a hideous sound of grinding plastic and never worked again. I ...

Pros: excellent price-to-feature ratio, excellent photo reproduction and printing, accurate color reproduction.
Cons: no separate envelope feed, documentation, cartridge costs

Although I have only had my CX5400 for 3 days I feel confident saying that this is one sweet little unit. I have run the gamut of tests from stand-alone copying to 4x6 photo printing, to two-sided printing. All went superb. The install was rock ...

Pros: Cheap initial price.
Cons: Poorly Designed. Flies through ink. VERY EXPENSIVE to operate. Mine broken in three months.

Had the printer for a few months, printed quite a bit with it with no problems UNTIL I tried to replace the ink cartridges. Magenta ran out first, so I replaced it with a brand new EPSON cartridge. Would print every color BUT magenta. The cartridge is ...

Pros: good scanner, OK black quality
Cons: wayyyyyy too expensive ink costs

I have owned this printer for over a year. I NEVER print in color, however I have replaced all three color cartridges twice to the four black cartridges I have used. You see, every time you print in black the printer uses some color ink supposedly to ...

Pros: Good quality prints, great fast scans at high quality.
Cons: Ink usage is high as is the price of ink, flimsy lid on scanner.

This combo had a pretty good price for a photo printer with a nice scanner built in. I decided to give it a go as there was not a whole lot of competition in the price range. I have mixed feelings about Epson, on one hand I like the idea of ...

Pros: Cheaper ink, nice photo pictures while it lasted.
Cons: Poor customer service, very cheaply made,

I bought this printer because of the perfect pictures it printed at Staples. I bought this printer for its picture print quality, my HP 855C doesn’t print photos very well (I’ve had the HP for 13 years now and it still works just fine.) The ink finally ...

Pros: Good while it actually works
Cons: Large and boxy Working life of 13 months

Not sure if this will help any one else out, but I figured the least I could do was provide the information. I too have the same problem with my Epson Stylus Multifunction printer, it was working great for about 13 months, then when I had to change ...
