Budget printers more often than not a sting in their tails in that they appear to be a bargain until it comes to replacing the printer ink cartridges. The Epson D92 use four individual printer cartridges which are more economical than the old tri block cartridges which means you can change each cartridge individual and no ink gets wasted. Epson D92 ink cartridges are still not cheap however, when you compare than to the cost of the printer itself they cost about the same price for a full set. There are compatible printer cartridges available for the D92 and they do just as good a job as the originals but at a faction of the cost. Taking the D92 out of the box the first impression is very good and surprise because the built quality of the machine is very good and far from what we have come to expect from energy level inkjet printers. It compact too and looks good sitting to the side of a TFT screen. Installing the printer to a PC is easy and only involves plugging in two cables installing the ink cartridges and driver software. It starts to go downhill little when you first switch the printer on because it reveals itself to be very noisy. The print quality is excellent and it can print of a wide variety of paper media including photo paper, envelope and standard office paper of course. The high print quality come at a price however, the D92 is every slow at printing in fact its one of the slowest inkjet printer I have ever seen. At first I thought it was faulty because Epson claim that its capable of 25 pages per minute buy after reading some other reviews from other people who have bought the D92 the 3 pages per minute I was getting out of it is normal. This is a real disappointment because the D92 could have been a great little printer instead its just too slow for almost anybody’s needs.
