Epson Stylus CX8400 Ink Cartridges

The Epson Stylus CX8400 is an all-in-one machine that is a printing, copying and scanning solution for homes or small offices. For both monochrome and color projects, the inkjet printer can work at speeds of up to 32 pages per minute to outperform many units in its class. While it has quick speeds, multipurpose capabilities and affordable Stylus CX8400 printer ink that contributes to low running costs, it lacks some of the advanced features of its competition.

Two areas in which the CX8400 is lacking is its limited USB connectivity and its omission of an automatic document feeder for scanning. However, it includes a front-mounted USB port and memory card slots for direct photo printing. The unit also makes up for these missing features with a 2.5-inch tiltable LCD screen that will allow users to preview documents, as well as navigate menus and monitor Epson CX8400 printer ink levels.

With a size of only 17x13x7 inches and a light weight of 13 pounds, the CX8400 should be at home even on crowded desktops. The unit can support media like photo paper and envelopes, and a range of media sizes from 3.5x5 inches to a maximum of 8.5x44 inches for flexibility. However, it has a small total media capacity of 120 pages that make it best suited for light-duty use.

Using drop-on-demand MicroPiezo print technology and DURABrite Ultra Stylus CX8400 ink, the machine can print documents with uniform detail as well as with smudge, fade and water resistance. For text projects, graphics and photos, the unit can print a sharp maximum resolution of 5760x1440 dpi.

The device prints with 4 Epson CX8400 ink cartridges that have standard yields of 350 pages for each cyan, magenta and yellow supply and 245 pages for the black. Those looking to expand their workflow without overspending can purchase high-capacity 525-sheet color and 410-sheet black Epson CX8400 ink cartridges.

While it isn't one of the more technologically advanced printers on the market today, the CX8400 has fast-enough speeds and low-volume features to support small or home offices. For a basic multipurpose inkjet printer that offers a low cost per page, buyers will be satisfied with this model.
