AI-generated summary
The Epson LX-350 is one of those old-school dot matrix printers that still makes sense in specific UK businesses. If you need **reliable printing for invoices, delivery notes, or any form workflows using carbonless/continuous stationery**, it’s genuinely good value. Dot matrix printers also tend to “just keep working” in environments where more modern office printers struggle—think warehouses, back-office dispatch areas, and places with mixed-quality paper. At around **£224.68 ex-VAT**, you’re paying for longevity and predictable outputs more than slick features.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if your documents are mostly PDFs-to-paper in normal A4 sizes and you don’t need continuous or multi-part forms. It’s slower, noisier, and the print quality won’t impress compared with laser/inkjet for everyday documents. Also, check what you actually need to run (single sheets vs continuous, interfaces, and how many forms you print): if you don’t truly benefit from dot matrix, you’ll feel the trade-offs immediately.
**Bottom line:** buy the LX-350 if your business still depends on impact printing and forms; skip it if you want modern speed, quiet operation, and crisp standard office output.
