Has anyone bought one of these? or does anyone know of any review sites that have had a good look at this all-in-one device.

I have an epson stylus 870 but could do with the scanner as well so was wondering how they might compare, what the CX3200 is like e.t.c

If you have any experience of the CX3200 then let me know please!

I haven't seen any reviews yet but I saw one at CompUSA the other day. It is sweet. I am planning to buy one next week. The print quality is great. I did a test color copy and it also looked great.

Thanks, can you post here when you get it and let us know how it works with X e.t.c?

Also, have you owned any other epson printers and how does it compare?

Sorry about the extra questions!

Cheers

I'm looking to buy the cx5200... does anyone know of any reviews of it?

I would only go for the top of the line all-in-one model from Epson - it has a much better printer engine and believe its only $199 USD.

By top of the line, I mean the CX5200. Now this is a really great all-in-one printer, copier and scanner for just $199. Here is the worlds smallest review of it, found on the driver download page for it on OS X at Version Tracker:

First off, I just have to say, that this is an absolute beauty... the printer that is. For $200, not only do you get an awesome printer, but scanner as well... it doesn't get much better than that! I bought it for my wife, and now I want it. The driver works well. No problems whatsoever.

Yes, that is the world's shortest review.

I have to find one now! I think it will be good for when I goto college, since it will be a big space saver.

I bought the cx5200 today for $200, and must say its a fabulous machine. You all need to go buy them.

If anyone has any questions about it, I can answer. There are too many cool little things about it to go into detail. One thing I will mention is that the inks are really something else. They truly are waterproof - I soaked a color copy (scanner scans and printer prints with the touch of a button) in water and the ink stayed put on the page. Just a wonderful all-in-one.

Does this machine use four color printing or six color printing?

It uses C M Y K - 4 color ink tanks.
