Epson Stylus CX3200 Ink Cartridges

The Epson Stylus CX3200 is an entry-level multifunction device with straightforward photo printing, scanning and copying capabilities that can support personal use. With maximum print speeds of approximately 14 pages per minute for monochrome and color documents, this printer is among the slower models in its price range. There is little to distinguish this inkjet unit from others in its class, but it's cost efficient to use, thanks to affordable replacement Stylus CX3200 printer ink, and prints with solid output quality.

The CX3200 is ideally designed for low volumes, providing users with a small memory of 5.7 MB and only a single input tray that allows it to support a maximum paper capacity of 100 pages. The unit's 18x15x9-inch build incorporates a flatbed scan design that will allow it to support a maximum paper size of 8.5x11.7 inches, but it unfortunately leaves out an automatic document feeder for continuously scanning large jobs.

The front panel has a handful of basic tools such as a monochrome LCD for job status updates, a copy button that will allow users to select between 1 and 99 duplicates and an LED that will flash to alert users when Epson CX3200 ink is low. The build also includes a USB port for a wired connection to a user's PC, but it would have been a nice touch if the CX3200 had also provided card slots for direct photo printing from a camera's flash memory.

The unit includes tools like PhotoImpression software and color management technology that will enable users to edit their photos from their PC and track color supply usage to monitor costs. Combining its Stylus CX3200 ink and specialty media like glossy photo paper, the device can print images with a sharp resolution of 5760x720 dpi.

The printer uses one tricolor Epson CX3200 ink cartridge that bundles cyan, magenta and yellow printer ink, and another separate black supply. Users can purchase inexpensive remanufactured replacements from third-party vendors to help keep running costs low. Yields of up to 300 pages for the color Epson CX3200 ink cartridge and 600 pages for the black supply make it suitable for light-duty use.

Those with more demanding daily print needs probably won't find the CX3200's limited media handling and slow speeds adequate. However, this all-in-one inkjet printer is a suitable choice for those that print lighter volumes.
