When my brothers and I were kids, we always loved it when our parents buy a new electrical appliance, especially like a new ref or oven, not that we were excited about the appliance, rather we were looking forward for the styrofoam that comes with the packaging that we can play with! We would use them as swords, boats, or cut them into pieces!  We never really knew the reason behind styrofoam back then, for us, it was great thing to play with!

After a few years, we then realized what the styrofoam are for, for manufacturing companies of electrical gadgets and equipments, styrofoam is used as protection against sudden bumps or falls especially during transport or shipping. They serve as a barrier, decreasing the impact of the fall or bump between an outside force and the equipment. Aside from efficiently protecting your electrical appliance and keeping it stable, it is also light weight, it does not add any significant weight to the overall weight of the package!  And for manufacturers, styrofoam is relatively cheap, it does what it’s supposed to do without a high cost. Now that we sell our own electrical gadgets, we always make sure we have quality and durable styrofoam to protect our products! It is simply the best way to provide protection and stability to our products!

You may think that the purchase price of a printer determines whether a something is cheap or not, but in the case of inkjet printers it’s the cost of the replacement printer ink cartridges that determines this and not the price of the printer. Epson S21 ink cartridges are not cheap at least not when you compared them to the cost of the printer itself. Epson claim that their printer cartridges contain DURABrite technology which helps produce better print results, and this technology costs a lot to develop and this is why the inks are so expensive. If you can live without DURABrite ink technology in your cartridges then you can buy compatible ink cartridges for the Stylus S21 which cost 60% less than the genuine Epson inks. For a budget printer the Stylus S21 performs amazing well as almost any printing task its designed to do and that is everyday text printing as well as high-quality photo prints. The speed in which it prints is not great but not terrible with 25 pages per minute in black ink in draft mode but in most commonly used standard mode 2 and bit pages per minute is more the real world figure. So is the Epson Stylus S21 a cheap printer? Well, not if you’re using Epson ink cartridges, yes it an excellent value printer.
