The inclusion of some photo paper and the CD-R is nice – this way, I can at least try printing some photos before heading out to buy more paper.
This is unfortunate – I’d be far more apt to buy expensive Epson paper for my new Epson printer if I could use all the coupons, rather than being forced to choose one. Submitting a coupon requires the original box UPC, a copy of the purchase receipt, and the coupon form. Reading the fine print, however, reveals that the user is entitled to use one coupon. This seems great at first – lots of $4.00 rebates on Epson photo paper, document paper, and printable CD-Rs and DVD-Rs. I also mentioned that this printer comes with some coupons. Would it have killed Epson to include a USB cable in the box? Not only that, but USB cables at retail stores are unbelievably expensive – a coworker was lamenting to me the other day about discovering that Circuit City’s USB cables started at thirty dollars for a 3′ cable. Why in the world has it become the de facto standard to not include basic connectivity in the box? I mean, at least a DVD player comes with cheap a cheap composite A/V cable. It costs pennies to manufacture a standard A-B USB cable. This printer, like every other printer on the market today, does not include a USB cable. It’s nice to be immediately ready to go, right out of the box, with no Internet connection necessary.
#EPSON STYLUS PHOTO RX595 STREAKS IN PRINT OUT PAPER DRIVERS#
First off, Epson actually included a drivers CD! This is rare these days – peripheral manufacturers tend to just require users to download updated drivers off the Internet. There are a few things worth noting here about the box contents. Coupons for rebates on Epson printer papers and optical discs.
Sample print materials – 8.5×11″ glossy photo paper and one Memorex printable CD-R.
Printed materials (user manual, warnings, warranty card, etc.).Six standard-capacity ink cartridges (black, magenta, light magenta, cyan, light cyan, and yellow).Standard power cable (the kind that comes with a TiVo, VCR, DVD player, etc.).One of the coolest things about this printer is its ability to print directly on compatible CDs and DVDs. Epson sent us a retail box containing the RX595 and all its accoutrements, as well as an extra set of high-capacity ink cartridges (a whopping $90 value) and some various Epson-branded photo and document paper types for sampling.
