Epson Stylus CX5400 Review

Good Points
Good all-round printer - for as long as it lasted

Bad Points
Ink consumption high and expensive

General Comments
I bought the Epson Stylus CX5400 after some consideration. It worked very well and consistently for about 15 months, then, as noted in another review, print quality deteriorated and could not be improved with nozzle-cleaning. The net result is that I am having to dump this machine after a relatively short time. I also found it quite bulky. The Epson ink monitoring system (where the printer stops when ink is 'empty') is a real rip-off, as it is clear that at least 30% of ink is still left. I bought a chip-resetter from the Internet, and this extended the life of ink cartridges considerably.
