User Reviews for Epson Epson Stylus C120

  • Reviewed by: frederickefrogg

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: I bought 2 of these very inexpensively at an on line auction site. I paid $30.00 for each delivered,still in the original unopeNed box. No,they were NOT refurbished, just owners selling them.

    Weaknesses: They seems to take about 2 minutes to "warm up" when you start them, after that they works fine. I sold the enclosed ink cartridges for more then I paid for each printer and went with CISS systems.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought these printers because they were cheap and I needed 2 printers. I would never pay more then about $35.00 for 1 of them, including the cost of shipping. The printer market offers too many choices to have to pay more. They are worth the $30.00 I paid for them, but they use ink at an ALARMING rate. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Fast printing, nice quality

    Weaknesses: Expensive ink

    Overall Evaluation: The printer has pretty reasonable price. It uses invidual color cartridges. The printing is quite fast, and the quality is also good. The only problem is that the ink drains fast (maybe just because of the starter cartridges?). It is a little expensive to buy a new set.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: You can replace only color that's empty.

    Weaknesses: Slow printing. Poor paper feeder performance. Poor ink milage.

    Overall Evaluation: The preliminary function to actual printing is slow in setting up. Rear stand-up paper feeder is erratic very noisy. I have printed very few pages and the black is already half empty, the color one fourth empty. So far not performing as well as my HPs When I first received the printer it did not work at all. After many hours with on-line support and telephone support they finally agreed to send a new printer. It setup and worked immediately. They did not send me a shipping label though, and I had to pay for return shipping. I called and they agreed to reimburse me but I had to mail a hard copy of my receipt, they would not accept a fax. I did finally get my check.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Good price, fast printing, good print quality

    Weaknesses: Loud while printing

    Overall Evaluation: Overall I'm happy with this Epson C120 printer. It is low cost, and prints very very fast, but little bit loud while printing. The print quality is very good. It comes with individual ink cartridges, so it's cost-effective to replace only the color that is out.
