Epson has for years been a leader in the printer market and has delivered good products to consumers. The NX415 is Epson's budget 3-in-one printer, with print, scan and copy capabilities. It is not perfect but it is difficult to overlook the price advantage.
Setting up the NX415 is simple and easy, except that there is no USB cable in the box. This is an aggravation that is easily avoidable. Considering that USB cables cost less than $3 US to wholesalers, there's little reason to not include one in the box. That said, the instructions for configuration and setup are clear and easy and the printer can be ready to go in a matter of just a few minutes.
This is one of the fastest printers I have worked with, though it is a bit noisy when churning out pages. There is a configuration setting that allows the user to print in "quiet mode" but the print speeds are reduced. I recommend using this mode, as the speed difference is not large and the noise difference is very appreciable.
One of the nicest features of this printer is the easy-to-follow display panel. Even though it is small it is very easy to read and the directions for changing settings are very clear. It is also tilt-able which makes reading it easier depending on how it is set.
I like the size footprint of this printer. This is much smaller than my Canon Pixma printer, and that's important to me as there is a premium on desk space. It tucks away neatly into a corner and is still very accessible.
I have not tried printing photos, but I have used it for multiple print tasks, specifically printing charts in black-and-white and in copying forms. It performs these tasks well.
There is one negative that is really worth mentioning - this printer guzzles ink. The printer itself is inexpensive but keep in mind that cartridges add up quickly. For volume printing, this is not a good choice; for light or even moderate print volume this printer is acceptable.
Epson also has an NX515, which is the same as the NX415 but includes wireless networkability. There is a cost difference, of course, and if wireless connectivity for the printer is not needed then the NX415 is a better choice from a price perspective.
Epson's NX415 3-in-one inkjet is a fine printer. It will serve a family or a small office well. It does tend to cost more per page to print as the ink consumption is high, but the speed and quality of output is a good counterbalance. Consider this printer when looking for a good quality budget 3-in-one.Get more detail about Epson Stylus NX415 All-in-One Printer.
