Epson Stylus C110

Slightly Overpriced, Average Printer For The Home User

The Stylus C110 is a piezoelectric inkjet printer from Epson. Its price point and design is aimed for the home user. It’s a decent looking printer, which will definitely fit in well with the rest of the computer setup, but it isn’t the most compact of printers. There are five cartridges in all, out of which two are black. The entire printer installation and setup is simple and straightforward. In terms of quality, there are a few issues. There’s fine banding throughout all the print qualities selected— more prominent in the lower quality prints. At low quality, the print speed is pretty good. Color accuracy wasn’t too good either. As compared to some other printers, the colors were a little washed out. The yellows, especially had a very different tone—they appeared much lighter than yellow. On the other hand, dark browns and purples appear black. Our photo quality test print took a little over three and a half minutes to complete. The prints come out pretty detailed, but the text has jagged edges all around them no matter what quality you print at. The paper intake mechanism can be unforgiving with few sheets of paper in the tray. We had a few misaligned prints. The Epson Stylus C110 isn’t a bad printer, but it isn’t a brilliant one either. For its price, it’s a tiny bit costlier than it should have been. Its speed and detailed prints are pretty good. As an everyday printer for text printouts and occasional photo prints, it’s a decent buy.
