Epson Stylus CX9400 Ink Cartridges

Epson CX9400 Printer Review

When it comes to machines in a home, style, versatility, and affordability are all equally important. Fortunately, the Epson Stylus CX9400 offers all of these, as well as impressive speed and quality. Just about any work-related task can be performed with this color inkjet unit, including making copies, scanning documents, sending and receiving faxes, and printing. On top of that, the CX9400 also offers the option of printing vivid, sharp photos that will last for many years.

This unit is primarily marketed as a fax machine, which is why it is also referred to as the CX9400Fax. The reason for this is its ability to process faxes at a high speed, and do so in black-and-white or color. Two jacks are located on the back of the CX9400 for connecting a phone or answering machine, and multiple speed dial options are available. An automatic document feeder is attached, which increases the transmission rate by continuously feeding pages through.

When printing, up to 32 pages per minute can be generated, whether only black printer ink is being used or all four colors of Epson CX9400 ink are needed. In many competing machines, the speed is reduced when printing in color, but not for this device. The copying speed is just a bit slower at 30 copies per minute, and a borderless 4x6-inch photograph can be produced in less than 30 seconds.

Both Windows and Mac computers can connect to the CX9400 through the USB 2.0 port, but that is not the only connection option. On the bottom front of the device are memory card slots and a PictBridge port for printing photos without the use of a PC. The 2.5-inch color LCD on the control panel allows users to preview and edit images. The screen can be tilted for a better viewing angle, and it is also used to navigate settings and monitor the levels of Stylus CX9400 ink remaining.

A standard set of Epson CX9400 ink cartridges are supplied with the machine upon purchase, containing yellow, cyan, magenta, and black printer ink. However, when it comes time to find replacements, users have more options. High-capacity versions are available that can yield over 100 more pages than the standard capacity, which will slightly reduce the cost per page. In addition, third-party vendors offer compatible Stylus CX9400 ink cartridges for a lower price than the OEM versions.

Buyers can scan, print, copy, and fax in black-and-white or color at impressive speed and exceptional quality with the stylish CX9400. The operating costs of this inkjet device can be kept affordable, too, with remanufactured Epson CX9400 ink that is guaranteed to work just as well as the OEM version. Overall, there are so many things to love about this unit, it is hard to pass up.
