Epson Artisan 50 Specifications
Epson Artisan 50 is a competent single-function inkjet printer that provides an equilibrium between performance and price. The device is suitable for home users who need quality prints and does not require the additional functions of an all-in-one machine. Its advantage includes producing brilliant photos at up to 5760 x 1440 dpi resolution. The six-color ink system featuring light cyan and magenta ensures excellent color gradations and fine details in photo prints. Text documents are also quite crisp. This versatility makes the printer an excellent choice for households and individual users.
In terms of speed, Artisan 50 is not a leader. It could be faster but quite suitable for the class. Four-by-six photo speeds are reasonable for occasional use, about 11 seconds, though very slow for high volume or time-sensitive printing. In addition, users can print on CDs and DVDs and use various paper types and sizes. These results make the device attractive for people who need to print on such non-standard media.
At the same time, the ‘fine print’ of having Artisan 50 is not very good. First of all, we should consider the high costs of ink. The printer provides individual ink cartridges, and it is possible to replace only the needed color. However, the prices of the official Epson cartridges will still be exorbitant. In addition, third-party inks are cheaper, but people using them face the risks of voiding the warranty or suffering poor print quality. To summarize, Epson Artisan 50’s services are the best options for people who hardly ever need prints to be of excellent quality since it is doubtful that they will be attentive to the long-term outcomes of replacing inks once a cartridge is empty.
