Epson Stylus Office BX635FWD Review

"Buy It!"

An affordable price tag, low running costs and good results for the most part make the Stylus Office BX635FWD a fantastic choice for a home office or small business. Computer Act!ve said that although its scans and plain-paper colour prints could be better, its fast speeds, duplex support, photo prints, network support and card slot are compelling reasons to go for it.

Expert Reviews say the Epson Stylus Office BX635FWD is a well specced multifunctional device and is quite affordable. The software installer and user interface are easy to use and despite the large amount of buttons on the control panel, you won't struggle to operate the device. Print and scan quality are generally good enough for office work, just don't expect perfect results.

Value for money: 3 out of 5 points

Gadget Speak's reviewer said that the Epson BX635FWD was an impressive looking device, with its sloping top hiding an ADF for 30 A4 sheets, and a flip-out control panel housing various buttons. It has ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB and PictBridge connections as well as a card reader for various card types. It was easy to set up, and although text prints well, colours look a bit pale.

Value for money: 8 out of 10 points

Although it is necessary to download the complete driver, the Epson Stylus Office BX635FWD covers most bases - it even prints duplex as well as having fax facilities. There is a card reader included which can also handle CompactFlash. Unfortunately the printouts on plain paper are fuzzy and when Trusted Reviews tried printing using iPhoto, prints came out in strips.
