The machine’s control panel, down the left-hand side, has a straightforward layout including mode buttons, a ring of navigation arrows and a big Start button for copies and scans. DURABrite Ultra ink is pigment-based, which means it has better water and light resistance than dye-based inks.

Lift the whole scanner unit and you get good access to the four, separate DURABrite Ultra ink cartridges. The CCD-based scan-head is surprisingly slim, so the height of the casing can be kept down.

It’s managed to reduce the overhang of the paper feed and output trays by holding paper at a close-to-vertical angle at the rear and mounting the print heads well to the back of the machine, so that output pages only protrude a short way onto the telescopic output tray. A general-purpose all-in-one, like Epson’s Stylus DX8400, provides printing, scanning, copying and photo printing, yet only occupies slightly more room than a single-function printer.Įpson has chosen a high-gloss, bluey-grey livery for this compact machine, with highlights in silver and black. All-in-one printers, as the name suggests, offer several separate functions in a single, relatively small-footprint device.
