Epson LQ-450 Printer Review

Expert review of the Epson LQ-450 printer

Our Verdict:
star
star-filled

The LQ-450 is part of Epson's affordable dot matrix line of printers aimed at small businesses. It was made to replace an older unit and now boasts support for standard fonts and additional codes, making it more efficient for printing forms and a range of documents using different types of media. However, the Epson LQ-450 dot-matrix printer is an outdated device in terms of speed and quality.

Design

The 24-pin engine of the Epson LQ-450 printer gives it ample speed for producing up to 300 characters per second and completing multi-part forms in a few seconds. The small footprint lets the LQ450 impact printer fit inconspicuously on a standard desktop or a cramped table. The available interfaces include USB 2.0 and parallel connections. The entire unit weighs less than 5Kg. The Epson LQ-450 ribbon cartridge has an estimated yield of 2 million characters.

Advantages

The Epson LQ-450 ribbon printer is energy-efficient and affordable with the low initial cost. It is cheap to run, too, making it a good choice for straightforward printing in a budget-conscious small office. Users can insert single sheets of paper or continuous paper rolls into the Epson LQ450 forms printer and work without the hassle of disruptive noise.

Disadvantages

The outdated print method limits the Epson LQ-450 to light workloads and simple printouts like four-part forms. Sharing the Epson LQ 450 in a small network could mean slower performance because of the poor limited memory. Only a few Windows operating systems are compatible with the LQ450 dot-matrix printer, including older versions like Windows 98.
