The problem with mid range multifunction printers like the new Stylus SX405 hasn’t been there performance but their running costs. Like other MFP’s in this category the SX405 is very reasonably price at under £60 but a replacement set printer ink cartridges cost £30. The Epson SX405 ink cartridges are made up of four individual Epson ink cartridges which works out to be economical in terms of not wasting ink when only one colour has run out but the cost per cartridge is still to high. Fortunately there is a cheaper alternative to the genuine Epson ink cartridges and they are compatible ink cartridges which costs half as much as the originals but still print the same amount of pages with a quality that is difficult to tell apart from the genuine products. With the availability of compatible cartridges makes the Stylus SX405 an excellent value for money device because there is nothing lacking in it performance capabilities and it offers a good array of functions from scanner to photo copying and printing of course. The SX405’s build quality is also good and a vast improvement of previous Epson models although the noise operation of the paper feed still hasn’t been addressed from previous a model which is a shame but not a huge problem. The SX405 is a great all-round device but it will cost a bit to run on genuine Epson ink cartridges.
