All-In-One Printers

I have been looking for a decent printer to do some light duty work for my home. I didn't want something too expensive with ridiculous ink cartridge prices. I didn't want something that had extreme HD qualities. I came across this printer on Amazons lightening deal page going for $59.99. I noticed that the cartridges were a decent price and that it had everything but a fax (no big deal). It lacked any reviews but Epson has put out several good printers. I received the printer a few days later and set about setting it up via wireless connection. Fairly easy even without a USB cable. The instruction manual and CD instructions carry you right through the process. Easy, but time consuming. After installing the software, it goes about updating itself and then updates the printers firmware. Didn't run into a single glitch. Took about fifteen minutes from installing the cartridges to setting it at its final resting place. I adjusted the settings to conserve ink and have printed several... Read more

The Epson NX530 printer offers a lot of bang for the buck. It allows:

Wireless set-up and operation, eliminating the need for a cable completely, and allows operation from another room--particularly useful if you've got multiple computers feeding to a single printer;

Very fast printing for an ink jet (about one b&w page every four seconds);

Color printing and copying as well as black and white;

Good, but not exceptional, photo printing (if that's a priority, consider a printer that's specifically designed for photo printing);

A 150-page paper drawer, allowing you to do a fair amount of printing before reloading;

Easy LED-screen controls that are intuitive and simple;

Separate cartridges for each color ink (and a separate black and white cartridge), so you don't have to replace the whole set after running out of one color (I found replacing the cartridges very simple and quick, and they're reasonably... Read more

Epson makes a fine array of Color Ink Jet Printers. This would be the base model. While it is a copier and a scanner, you can only copy or scan one page at a time because there is no document feeder.

But if you are very limited in space and really do not need a multi page scanner, then this would be perfect. The color print is very good. I did not use the scanner but have with other Epsons and it works very well, even wirelessly!

The new feature is Epson Connect. This allows you to email photos, documents and even emails to the printer directly. I forwarded an email with graphics to the given email address and it printed on the printer but many of the graphics did not print out.

So for a basic printer it is alright but if you have the room, spend a little more and get a better model.
