You’ll find viewing and printing documents and photos simple with the 3.8cm LCD screen, and you can also copy and print without a PC. The SX425W has a great range of features for the whole family to share Print perfect documents and lab-quality photos Whatever you print, you’ll get high-quality results every time with the SX425W. School projects are brought to life with rich colours, and business documents look professional with crisp text. Producing outstanding, lab-quality photos is easy – you can view them first using the SX425W’s LCD screen, adjust colour and contrast plus remove red-eye with the included software, and conveniently print directly from memory cards.

Get fast results

There’s no need to wait around for your prints with the SX425W’s fast print speeds of up to 35 mono or 15 colour pages per minute*

Enjoy prints that last

Your great-looking prints will stay that way for years to come. This is thanks to Epson’s DURABrite Ultra Ink, which features resin-coated particles for tough, long-lasting results. Prints dry instantly and resist water, smudging, fading and even highlighter pens.

Save money with individual inks

Epson’s individual ink cartridge system means you only ever need to replace the colour used. Since you won’t have to buy a whole new set of inks every time one colour is used up, this saves you money.

Save more with a choice of cartridge sizes

Whether you print little or often, a choice of ink cartridge sizes to suit your needs makes printing more economical.

Easily connect to your wireless network

Epson’s easy Wi-Fi installer has been further enhanced with a completely wireless set-up option. During the installation process, the user can now opt to enter their network details directly using the product’s control panel (e.g. SSID and WEP key). This saves having to connect a USB cable temporarily between computer and printer, solely for the purpose of transferring the network settings. The new option is fully integrated into the set-up wizard, and is ideal for those who would prefer not to use a cable when installing or re-installing (e.g. after a router upgrade).
You can still transfer the network settings to the product via a USB cable (not included) and this is the default option in the set-up procedure as, overall, it remains the easiest way of configuring the product for wireless operation.

Cut bills and environmental impact

Qualified by ENERGY STAR, the SX425W’s excellent power efficiency helps you reduce your energy bills and your impact on the environment.

Complement your home

The SX425W’s sleek and stylish design will fit easily into any home. And with its wireless connectivity, you can say goodbye to ugly cables and position it wherever suits you best.

Easily edit scanned text

Save time and effort with the included ABBYY FineReader™ OCR software, which allows you to easily edit any text you’ve scanned.

Epson technology

Dependable printing with Micro Piezo technology

Epson’s Micro Piezo printhead technology gives you reliable, high-quality results that can’t be matched.
Micro Piezo works by running an electric charge through piezoelectric elements, causing their shape to change. This creates a pressure wave that propels the ink. Thermal-type inkjets used by Epson’s competitors work by heating the ink, which causes it to expand and move through the nozzle to be fired onto the paper.

The fundamental problem with thermal inkjet technology is that it’s less robust. The ink has to survive extreme conditions, and the heater is prone to burning out. Boiling ink can cause residue deposits on the element, and over time, this means the printer becomes less efficient.
Avoiding all these pitfalls, Micro Piezo operates at room temperature, offering greater ink stability and delivering perfect control over the size and placement of each ink droplet.
And, as the Micro Piezo printhead is a permanent part of the print system, unlike other manufacturers’ printheads, it is one less consumable to dispose of.

Finer details with variable-sized droplet technology

Every nozzle in an Epson four-colour printer can produce three different droplet sizes. This is called variable-sized droplet technology, and is made possible by the Piezo component.
Epson’s competitors using thermal inkjet technology can only produce one droplet size from each nozzle. This means they are forced to include a different set of nozzles for each droplet size, and often only offer two droplet sizes.
Epson’s multiple droplet sizes result in smoother gradations when printing areas of varying tone, with smaller droplets giving clarity to fine detail. Another advantage is faster printing, with bigger droplets printing large areas of colour more quickly.

Clearer, longer-lasting prints with DURABrite Ultra Ink

Epson DURABrite Ultra Ink is an advanced pigment-based ink technology that encapsulates ink particles in a protective resin coating. This makes the ink resistant to water, smudging and fading.
The benefits include greater durability and dramatically less bleed-through than conventional dye-based inks.
DURABrite Ultra delivers laser-like text and glossy photos, which last over 200 years* when stored in a photo album.
