Before buying a budget printer like the Epson Stylus S21 the most important thing to do is to check the price of the printer ink cartridges it uses, this is because budget printers are notorious for being cheap to buy be expensive to run. Epson S21 ink cartridges seem to be true to this trend as they cost almost as much as the printer itself if buying genuine Epson printer cartridges. There are cheaper alternatives available in the form of compatible ink cartridges and this offers a massive saving over the genuine cartridges and yield the same amount of pages. Functionality wise the Epson S21 is an impressive machine, it’s a basic inkjet printer so doesn’t have a long list of features but what it does do it does to a high standard. It designed to print everyday things like plain text documents, graphs and web printing but what it also excels at is printing high quality photos. The stylus S21 looks good, the plastics used feel solid which is rare for a this class and its finished in dark grey with a gloss black semi-transparent lid which gives it a cool modern look. Its compact too, so should fit on most people desk without problem. The paper feed and carriage on the S21 are a bit noisy and it’s not the fastest printer in the world, but these problems and the expensive genuine ink cartridges are about all that can be found wrong with the Stylus S21.
