Epson L132

Advantages: Certainly in the pluses of CISS. Even with native ink, and even more so with analogs, the savings are excellent. Print quality for 4 colors is excellent. It does not reach the photographic level a little, in some places you need to make a profile for photographs. I have several prepared - I batch process photos and get the most natural colors without any problems. For everyday photo printing I don't bother at all, I print as it is. Prints black and white pages quickly. Very gentle with photographic paper. Does not smear prints.

Disadvantages: On plain paper, colors can be strongly distorted during full-color printing - basically all red shades darken. But this is again due to the fact that the printer does not know how white the paper is. To do this, I pass the photos through the profile where I twist the red colors. The print speed is pretty slow, especially at maximum settings. With large volumes, this slows down the workflow. Loudly picks up paper, at night it can scare you :) Refilling ink requires a certain skill, if you refuel with non-original ink. It is better not to pour in light clothes :) The feeder cover is missing at the top - when the printer is idle, the paper feeder slot gets dusty, which does not benefit the rollers inside. (For example, the L800 has such a cover) The rollers, by the way, are quite sensitive to dust - from time to time I would advise you to clean them - it depends a lot on the living conditions of the printer and the paper itself - some of them can get very dusty when printing. With large volumes of color printing on plain paper (say, from 100 sheets at a time), it starts streaking pretty quickly - so you need to watch what you print and when streaks appear, do head cleaning (through native software). And vice versa, if you rarely print, and even on non-native ink, stripes may appear again - the way out is still the same - cleaning the print head. In short, seven troubles - one answer.Strictly speaking, it prints only 10 * 15 without borders, to print all other formats without borders, you need to adjust the borders yourself, often empirically

Comment: Epson was very smart in his day, finally freeing home printers from the hated tiny cartridges. For me personally, with all the disadvantages listed for its cost and printing cost, by and large, this is, if not an ideal model for home color printing, then at least very worthy, since it covers all my needs.

Advantages: snpch is great. borderless printing. simple refueling.

Disadvantages: the paper compartment is not covered by anything; if any small things get inside, it is quite difficult to pull it out, because the ink container must not be rotated too much.

Comment: great printer. first time pumped ink for about 20 minutes. now prints immediately. the drivers were installed immediately. there is no printing program included with it. the quality of the images is highly dependent on the paper quality. ink dries quickly on the sheet. I am very pleased with the purchase. Three Print Quality Options (Fine, Normal, Draft), Three Paper Options (Matte, Glossy, Plain) —Allows you to print a variety of types of images and documents.

Advantages: Affordable price with a wide range of functions, the presence of cis, good print quality, does not spoil the paper

Disadvantages: -

Comment: This is my third printer, and it has not failed yet, it works well. I am completely satisfied with the print quality. Borderless photo prints

Advantages: Of course, CISS. The print quality (considering that this is not a professional photo printer) is excellent, especially on glossy photo paper.

Disadvantages: With default settings on photo paper, printing is a bit dark, but this is more a question of monitor calibration.

Comment: Bought for the eldest daughter, schoolgirl. Before buying, I asked her with passion whether the printer would be used, whether it would dry out idle. In vain he asked, he prints almost every day, both to himself and to friends, and now the youngest daughter got a taste)). And what, CISS allows me not to worry too much about the budget. Recently I saw her photo collage with pictures of a pop group from the network, even asked if she had printed it herself. The quality, in my opinion of the layman, is excellent and impressive. So far, there are no complaints about the quality of the printer. Yes, some elements of the case may seem a little flimsy, but the functionality does not suffer from this at all. I don’t have them hammer in nails. Put it up, plug it in, and print. Decent device for home and office needs. Recommend.

Advantages: - printing cost - stationary CISS - for 3 months of operation did not require cleaning nozzles (I do not print every day) - does not chew paper

Disadvantages: - The choice of photo paper in the driver is limited - the driver with settings has not changed in design and functionality since the Epson Sylus 680 printer (2000!) )

Comment: In general, the model pleases, perhaps, my first printer, which does not cause negative emotions. The ink should last for a long time, has already printed more than 150 sheets, the ink level has changed imperceptibly. Recommend.

Advantages: The main advantage is the CISS and the price. Immediately poured pigment Korean ink. I have been printing for two months without problems. I use for work - texts, texts with color pictures, fills. Everything prints perfectly, texts are clear, colors are good. Not very fast, but speed is not very important to me. I try to print every day, as the pigment dries up in the print head rather than native water-soluble ink. I did not try to print photos.

Disadvantages: The color prints well only when the "high quality" option is enabled, with "standard" it starts to strip. But this is not a drawback, but just a given)

Comment: For two months I have been printing something almost every day, but the cartridges have not even been used up by half. Very economical. Especially if you don't use native ink

Advantages: one). CISS. This says a lot. 2). Follows from point 1: native and non-native ink can be cast. Refueling is convenient, I think. The ink level is visually visible. 3). Square on all sides, compact. 4). When the warranty ends, it is dreadful to simply drain the waste from the diaper compartment outside. In this case, it is also terribly simple to programmatically throw off the level of working out in the diaper. 5). Intelligent native software, sometimes updated. 6). Standard cleaning of PG helps with a whole bunch of printing defects, in some clinical cases, enhanced cleaning (so-called technological) helps. 7). Print mode with minimal margins (not used, but specified in the specification). 8). Easy to disassemble.

Disadvantages: one). Poorly picks up the last sheet or two from the tray. 2). You don't need to let it sit for weeks. Regular printing without fanaticism is a guarantee of serviceability. 3). On mine the carriage motor is out of order - but the replacement is easy. 4). Noisy, sometimes just a terrible crackle. I didn't break it - it was out of the box. Not a malfunction. 5). Problems with very thick paper, more precisely with its hook and pull. On the previous HP I almost printed on cardboard - no problem. 6). Not protected from dust (no dust caps) - cover with something for long periods of inactivity. 7). Simplified design of the receiving tray - a large bundle is poured from it.

Comment: I took it three years ago. It crackles, howls, but the print is almost flawless. The carriage motor was defective, other complaints were expressed above in "shortcomings".

Advantages: Print quality. Color rendering. Does not smear when printing without borders.

Disadvantages: On vin10, it slightly mows when printing without borders with the option, adjust to size, for some reason cuts off part of the image. If run to print without adjustment, it does not fit the print to the paper size correctly.

Comment: An excellent inkjet, at the first couple of the standard settings are enough for most types of paper. The prints are gorgeous, the color rendition is also super.

Advantages: Its CISS greatly reduces ink consumption. Does not dry out. Great for photography.

Disadvantages: Sometimes I didn't pick up some types of paper. But I pasted a piece of paper on the tray and everything is fine.

Comment: Only 4 colors, and works well with photos. And if you know how to set up a photo for printing, then you can't tell at all. At maximum settings, it does not print very quickly, but it does it well. Choose speed or quality. He copes with bw documents quickly and without errors. Ideal model for printing.I use it at home without any complaints. Simple maintenance, sometimes dusting the rollers and that's it. For this money - generally an excellent choice beyond competition

Advantages: SPNCH, lightweight, easy to set up

Disadvantages: Didn't see

Comment: I was looking for printers in this price category. Read a lot of reviews. opted for the L132. The quality of the certificates is excellent. Photo quality is good. To meet expectations, I recommend trying different print and paper settings. Three 10 * 15 shots were enough for me to determine the optimal setting for my paper and monitor caliber.
