Epson NX420 Printer Review

The Epson Stylus NX420 is a color inkjet printer that takes the simplicity and ease of use of previous models and adds some nice extras like an LCD screen on the control panel and Wi-Fi connectivity. The result is a model that is easy to set up and use, but has some of the advanced features that power users will want. Buyers will save on printer ink with the affordable Epson NX420 ink costs.

One of the most impressive improvements over earlier models is in the NX420's print speeds. Print speeds are up to 6.4 pages per minute for black and 3.3 pages per minute for color. The addition of a 1.5 inch LCD screen on the control panel makes it easier to handle scanning and copying tasks directly from the printer, and many image enhancement tools are built right into the menu. If users do opt to use the included software, they will find even more options, such as red eye removal and corrections. The inkjet printer does not have an automatic duplexer, but manual duplex printing is possible.

Stylus NX420 ink cartridges are divided into 4 individual colors to help reduce wasted printer ink. This means users only need to replace the Epson NX420 ink that is empty. Epson NX420 ink cartridges have a large capacity of 265 pages, which keeps the cost per page low.

In their review of the Epson NX420, PC Magazine gave it a rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars. They liked its solid feature set and affordable price, but found its print speeds slow and text and photo print quality lacking.

Overall, home or small office users will find the NX420 to be very easy to use, and its excellent feature set makes it a good choice for power users as well. Its low upfront cost and the affordability of Stylus NX420 ink combine to make it a very good value.
