The Epson Stylus TX550W packs three machines into one device that you can put on a table: a printer, scanner, and photocopier. It features Epson DURABrite Ultra Resin Coated Pigment Ink to provide long-lasting quality prints that are water, fade, and smudge resistant.

The all-black device measures 450 mm wide, 182 mm tall, and 342 mm deep, and weighs 6.1 kg. Your purchase includes twelve months of warranty coverage, which can be extended should you want longer protection.

Features and Highlights

Individual Ink Cartridges

As we all know, the biggest cost a printer owner has to bear is the ink cost, and ink cartridges are popular for being overpriced. That’s why tri-color cartridges are loathed. Each of them has three colors of ink inside, but if one of the inks runs out, the others become unusable.

By mentioning the individual ink cartridges among the main selling points of the printer, Epson is apparently aware of the low reputation of the tri-color cartridges.

Performance

The Epson TX550W is capable of printing documents at a rated speed of thirty six black or color pages per minute and printing one 4R photo in approximately twenty seconds in draft mode.

Its A4 flatbed scanner, which offers a scan resolution of 2400 dpi, can perform a 300 dpi mono scan of A4 size paper at a speed of 1.1 milliseconds per line. This is the highest speed it can achieve, which drops to 2.0 milliseconds per line at 600 dpi, and 3.8 milliseconds per line at 1200 dpi.

It can perform a color scan too, which runs at 3.2 milliseconds per line for 300 dpi, 5.8 milliseconds per line for 600 dpi, and 11.2 milliseconds per line for 1200 dpi.

As to how fast the TX550W in copying pages, it has a copy speed of 36 cpm for either black or color text A4 pages.

Why You Need Epson TX550W Resetter

Ink pads are perhaps the least expected components to be able to brick a printer. What’s more ridiculous is even if the ink pads are actually easy to replace, Epson pushes its customers to purchase a new printer or get it serviced at an authorized repair service provider.

Some users believe that Epson tries to exploit its customers, and this has been happening for a long time. Even after the backlash that hit the company a few years ago, there hasn’t been a significant positive change. Many users, therefore, still find themselves relying on a third-party tool to keep their money away from Epson. Epson TX550W Resetter is one of such tools.

None of the solutions offered by Epson is as cost effective as squeezing the ink pads yourself a few times under running water to get all the absorbed ink out of the sponges, but the company wants your money, so that’s why it doesn’t readily provide any repair tool for its customers.

The repair tool refers to one that enables users to reset the TX550W’s ink pad counter. While the lack of such tool from the company is a disappointment, there is an alternative solution. You can click the link below to download Epson TX550W Resetter for Windows:
