Epson Stylus NX430 Pro Reviews

The Epson Stylus NX430 Small-in-One is indeed small, probably one of the smallest all-in-ones I've seen, not only from Epson but from other manufacturer's as well. And the initial price tag is budget friendly with a suggested retail price of $99.99 and a street price closer to $69.99. But it also has its flaws, probably the worst being that it will cost the owner of the Stylus NX430 almost $38 to replace a full set of standard capacity ink cartridges and nearly $66 to replace a set of high capacity cartridges. Depending on how much printing you do, you could buy several Stylus NX430's for the same price as a few sets of high capacity ink cartridges. I would say the Stylus NX430 still fills a need though: a home or dorm room with the need for scanning and mobility but an average print volume with limited photo printing.

The NX430's output is very good for the price, and its space-saving design is an advantage if your small or home office is quite small (and if you aren't a Mac user who needs duplex support). Also, remember to set the firewall exception for push-scanning. An affordable alternative to this model would be the Canon Pixma MX410.

The Epson WorkForce NX430 lives up to its "small-in-one" moniker with the size and features to match. Students and small offices cramped for space will have to sacrifice an auto-document feeder and double-sided prints to get the NX430 under $100, but its Wi-Fi connectivity, quick print speeds, and the most recent addition of iPrint apps for smartphones make this multifunction a worthwhile grab.

The Epson Stylus NX430 Small-in-One is an MFP geared for home use that can fit in tight spaces.
