Epson Stylus Photo RX620 Ink Cartridges

Epson RX620 Printer Review

Catering more to home users who want to skip the photo lab and do their printing at home, the Epson Stylus Photo RX620 is a versatile all-in-one inkjet printer with great photo capabilities. It prints standard documents at up to 17 pages per minute in black and 16 pages per minute in color, though copy speed is limited to around 10 pages per minute. OEM Epson RX620 printer ink won't break the bank, but third-party supplies are much less expensive.

The usual photo-centric features are included with the RX620, such as memory card slots and a PictBridge port, which also doubles as a USB flash drive port. This model goes a step further, however, and even includes a film-scanning adapter, so that users can scan old film and slides to convert them to digital photo formats. This is very convenient for the user with boxes of old photos lying around.

The lack of an automatic document feeder is a bit of a disappointment, especially for office work, but it comes with a benefit. The scanner lid can fold back completely, or even be totally detached. This makes extra room for large books and other materials to be scanned.

Reviewers were somewhat disappointed in the RX620's sluggish performance across the board. They also found its text output to be mediocre, but most buyers will be more focused on its photo capabilities instead.

The Epson RX620 ink cartridges are separated into six different colors instead of four. With the combination of more colors of Stylus Photo RX620 printer ink and the 5760x1440 dpi resolution, it can produce great prints, but the extra supplies add to the cost. Users can spend less by seeking third-party remanufactured Stylus Photo RX620 ink cartridges at a significant discount from OEM prices.

Despite a lack of wireless support and slow speeds for some operations, the Epson RX620 inkjet printer is very appealing for converting, editing, and printing photos with brilliant color. Best of all, the cost of Epson RX620 ink can be managed with remanufactured supplies, making it a very affordable alternative to the local photo lab.
