The Epson Stylus D92 is a budget printer designed to perform everyday tasks like printing letters, emails and the odd photo now again. The printer goes beyond expectations for a budget printer but is slightly let down by the cost of the printer ink cartridges. Although no more expensive than another inkjets in its class the Epson D92 ink cartridges are expensive in relation to the cost of the printer itself and this is a slight disappointment as it means every though is doesn’t do as much as better equipped printers it still cost the same amount to run. Apart from the printer cartridges it hard to find fault with the Stylus D92 it does exactly what it says on the tin and not only that, it does it well. One thing it doesn’t shine at is print speed, this is highlighted in Epson’s exaggerated claim that the Stylus D92 is capable of printing 25 pages per minutes, while this maybe true when the printer is in draft quality mode in standard quality mode the speed is more like 2 ppm which is a bit of different from 25 ppm. One other slight complaint about the D92 is the noise level when printing it is a little higher than what we have come to expect from other brands of inkjet printer even fro a budget printer. Overall The D92 is a good little printer and ‘little’ is the correct word to use because its very compact, so shouldn’t take up too much room on the desk.
