You can’t expect too much from a budget inkjet printer what would be nice is a cheap printer that does what it says on the tin and doesn’t cost a fortune to run. The Epson S21 fails on running costs as it not cheap Epson S21 ink cartridges cost the same as the printer itself and they don’t print very much either. Compatible printer ink cartridges are available and they offer better value for money than the Genuine Epson printer cartridges. In terms of performance the S21 doesn’t really set of the world of fire in fact it’s a little bit poor. The print quality is fine is just the speed in which it prints that lets it down, it supposed to be able to print 25 pages per minute but realistically it only capable of 2 pages per minute. Printing photos is even worse with a single 10×15 photo print taking over five minutes. It fine for people who are not in any hurry or don’t have a lot of stuff to print but for anyone else this printer is just too slow to consider buying. The build quality is fairly good, it feels like it is well put together and should stand up the trials of everyday use. One except of this is the plastic paper feed support, which is so flimsy it feels like it could break if you put more than five sheets of paper in the paper tray. Overall The S21 is a cheap printer is more than one sense of the word and it definitely not suited to high volume users.
