Epson Artisan 837 Ink Cartridges

Epson 837 Printer Review

The Epson Artisan 837 is a color inkjet printer with a slightly high price tag and multifunction capabilities that will suit home users or personal users in an office. Its initial cost is quickly made up for by both a versatile package of features and affordable Epson 837 printer ink replacements that can keep printing costs low. The device also has impressive copy speeds of up to 38 pages per minute, with ISO-rated print speeds of up to 9.6 pages per minute that will enhance productivity.

Using high-definition Artisan 837 printer ink, users can print photos, graphics and text with crisp detail and a maximum enhanced resolution of 5760x1440 dpi. The inclusion of Image Color Management technology and support for specialty photo paper can help users produce lab-quality images right at home. The device can also print on unique media like CDs and DVD discs. Its total paper capacity can accept up to 120 pages.

The unit's front panel is equipped with touch sensitive controls for managing its multifunction features and a large 3.5 inch LCD display. A moderately small size of 18x25x7 inches doesn't make it the most compact in its class, but the device should work well from a desktop. Connectivity is versatile, including a standard USB port, Wi-Fi that can be established with a router for wireless printing, and an ethernet port for wired networking.

The device uses 6 separate Epson 837 ink cartridges that are also inexpensive to replace. Each cyan, light cyan, magenta, light magenta and yellow Artisan 837 ink can yield 500 pages and be replaced individually. The black Epson 837 ink cartridge has a maximum capacity of 545 sheets. To further reduce costs users can shop at third-party vendor sites that offer affordable remanufactured supplies.

Looking at the abundance of useful features like Wi-Fi, flexible media support and fast speeds, the inkjet printer's seemingly high retail price is somewhat warranted. If users are willing to pay a little more, the 837 can benefit homes and small offices with its intuitive design and low running costs.
