Epson NX130 Printer Review

Who says printers need to be complex? The Epson Stylus NX130 is an all-in-one color inkjet printer designed to be simple to set up and simple to use. It has the ability to print, copy, and scan and many of its features can be accessed directly from the front panel without the need to delve into software menus. Unlike some inkjet models, the cost of printer ink is fairly low, thanks to affordable Epson NX130 ink prices.

For scanning and copying, the NX130 has a color flatbed surface that can scan documents up to 8.5 x 11 inches in size. There are one-touch buttons located right on the front panel for making quick copies or scans, and users can program the default location for scans so that documents are automatically stored in a folder on the computer's hard drive. Maximum scanning resolution is 1200 dpi optical at a color depth of 48 bits for extra clarity.

Epson NX130 ink uses DURABrite technology which dries quickly and resists fading and water damage. Stylus NX130 ink separates colors into 4 individual tanks to save on wasted printer ink. The low cost of Epson NX130 ink cartridges makes them very affordable, and using compatible Stylus NX130 ink cartridges will bring the cost down even lower.

Compared to other models in its line, such as the NX125, the NX130 offers a few improvements. It has slightly faster printing speeds that will help to get things done quicker. It also has a better variety of paper handling, and slightly higher scanning resolution, while it still uses the same affordable ink.

Buyers who are looking for simplicity and ease of use will find a lot to like about the Epson NX130. It is quick and easy to set up and requires very little user input after that. While the settings can be tweaked to a user's liking, the default settings make it easy to get up and running quickly.
