Blue, Aberdeenshire

+ Great all in one printer, easy to set up and good print quality

- The only criticism I have is the speed at which it virtually GRABS a new sheet of paper from the feeder, almost brutally fast which sometimes results in the paper getting twisted. If you are sitting quietly it can frighten the life out of you when it suddenly buirsts into action ... not for the faint hearted LOL!

Guy, Tatsfield

+ For a reasonably priced ink jet it produces high quality photos and documents and seems to be reliable. The scanner is a great addition and gives near perfect photo copies. And it works very well with my iMac 800Khz OSX v10.4.11

- It takes a while to get going, presumably digesting the information, and then the paper feed is very noisy.

Expert reviews for Epson Stylus DX8400

PC Advisor expert review - by Robin Morris

So competitive is the multifunction devices (MFD) market, that a model with a ﾣ100 price tag has to be that little bit special to justify the cost. The Epson Stylus DX8400 doesnﾒt fall into that category. What it does do is to offer a solid and reliable set of specifications.
