Epson Stylus SX525WD Printer Specification Review

The SX525WD is the high-end model, 2010/2011, in the SX series, Epson's general end user desktop printers. Epson is showcasing its wireless printer feature, the simple fact that it prints double-sided and also the speeds, specified as the "fastest in the category". Unfortunately, we are going to need to put this unusual assertion in to context. When Epson informs us that the printer ink is inexpensive on the other hand, we can't disagree!

Visually, this does not look the most modern of devices. The screen's 6.3 cm of colour fails to fulfill our aspirations when it comes to size and also touch characteristics. You pilot it by way of directional arrows which are at the control buttons. In a useful touch, this shows photographs and also documents loaded in the memory card reader and that means you don't have to employ any computer to print from. The front paper holder holds as many as 150 sheets, and is plenty for home utilisation.
The speeds proclaimed in the product specifications as well as on the product packaging are not even close to exactly what you end up getting in actuality: 36 pages per minute (ppm) simply fails to match up! Our results provide 9 ppm with regard to colour plus 18 ppm with regard to monochrome. Even with draft mode, on our own test documents it does not give 36 ppm. The actual rates of speed are nevertheless on the positive side of average. Whenever you change to double-sided having said that, it really is especially quick. 8.5 ppm is worth special comment. It is unusual to see this kind of rates of speed. The normal for double-sided rates of speed is actually much more like 3.5 ppm. To get colour A4 picture prints you require 3 minutes. At 10 x 15 cm on the other hand, the Epson does a lot better: 22 seconds.

If you look at both the desktop and / or photo prints, you notice the sharpness and accuracy immediately. With office documents, graphs are perfectly clear as well as legible. You can identify the size of the tiny droplets on solitary tone regions but shading is actually nicely reproduced plus the characters (yellow on green background) are flawlessly legible. For the purpose of photographs, Epson has gone for what is actually a "bright" copy. Colours tend to be light as though a bit of flash had been put in. The outcome can appear fairly eye-catching when compared with its competitors which occasionally looks too dark. Pictures do however lose relief because of the diminished contrast. Sharpness is perfectly OK and droplets are scarcely visible - not totally imperceptable in a few shaded regions, especially in skin.

The scanner, CIS type, is actually a flat A4 colour scanner with 2400 dpi resolution. Thirteen seconds for the purpose of preview, only five to get a 75 ppp scan plus ten seconds with regard to 300 ppp. This really is quick, on the positive side of average with respect to existing printers. Higher performance scanners do exist. A few go right up to 4800 ppp. Nonetheless, in the event you are not searching for preciseness above all, this particular Epson will perform alright for you. Definition is decent plus, once more, sharpness is fine. Smoothing of features is just a bit apparent and also colours tend to be not as bright as on the original photo. The colour difference is fairly high: 7.9 %.
Copies (B&W) take eight seconds, that's good. For colour, things require a little bit more time: 26 seconds.

It looks as if this particular Epson model could be the model to follow when it comes to price per page. We can't recommend the Epson cartridges sufficiently with their high performance technology and very fair cost per page. The model has 4 individual coloured Epson Stylus SX525WD ink cartridges for which there exists an XL format.
