Epson Stylus NX530 C11CB90201 Wireless Color Inkjet Printer with Scanner and Copier Most Helpful Reviews

{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 things up already. Decent, inexpensive printer with effortless wireless setup. Really can't beat this thing. I can't speak for photo printing because I rarely do any. I will update the review in a couple months as to how the printer is fairing.Update 1/1/12:Just thought I'd add a few updates. I have found the fast economy setting too strenuous on my eyes. I bumped it to regular economy setting. Saves my eyes and still saves ink. Paper tray is a little finicky as far as squaring up the paper to be loaded properly. Used it to copy a diagram for work. Copy portion worked fine. I have not had any glitches or major problems yet. So far, great buy.|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 priced);Ability to print directly from a camera memory card, so you don't have to turn on your computer or hook up your camera and download the images before printing a photo;Ability to email a photo image directly from your cellphone to the printer; Photocopying capability, including adjusting the size of the image; Scanning capability, together with software that makes basic scanning simple; Automatic double-sided copying; andRelatively small size.Limitations:No fax capability; One paper drawer means you'll have to hand-load paper of a different type or dimension if your job requires different types of copies; and(Epson also makes the NX430, which costs $10 less. For that sum, the NX530 offers the paper drawer, automatic double-sided copying, and faster printing, with a slightly larger footprint.)I found wireless set-up easy, and was scanning and touching up photos within an hour of unpacking it. The quality of the black and white text is excellent, while that of photos is acceptable, especially for prints smaller than 8x10. The LED touch screen controls are straightforward. This printer isn't designed for constant, high-volume printing day after day. The ink cartridges and paper would require frequent replacement; and I don't think it would last very long with that kind of use. The NX530 is recommended for personal use or a home office that requires light to moderate printing. For heavier use, look into one of the Epson WorkForce models (or other manufacturers' printers), or a laser printer, which offer more durability and flexibility.|It didn't take long to set up wireless and to get on my network. Since I have OS lion, I had to download the software to install on my computer, which took about 25 minutes, depending on your download speed. But while I was downloading it to my computer, I was able to print right away from my iPad. You can also print double-sided, which is something I like. You can also tell it to print double-sided from your iPad as well. All the programs on my iPad the require a "Air-printer Printer" will work with this printer. The ink is priced fairly decently.|This is a very well designed and thought out product; extremely simple to set up, easy to use functionality and it does many things well. It is true it doesn't have a fax, but we got rid of our landline a long time ago. For the modern world, for most people, and certainly for me the ability to scan and then email is just as good. The first striking thing about the NX530 is how easy it is to set up. Adding the printer to my wireless network could not have been easier. The LCD display screen when you first turn it on and prime the ink has an option set up wizard. I pressed OK and it found my named network right away. I pressed OK. It asked for the network password. I entered it and then the printer was part of the network. It took less than 2 minutes.After that I downloaded the software for my netbook and used the supplied CD disc for my notebook. I choose printer already part of the network and both computers were good to go. You will want the software for the EpsonScan software. If you have an iPhone you will also Epson iPrint app. The NX530 was not listed but the NX430 was, probably because the NX530 is a newer model. But no problems, the iPrint app works great. It found the printer and it has options to print Photos, web page print, and even operate the scanner.I was interested in the scanner and put it through a few items. the scanner does need to be controlled with iPrint or the EpsonScan software. It did not find either computer from the printer itself, it will only find a printer connected via USB. But with the EsponScan from either of my computers it worked fine and downloaded the scanned image exactly where I wanted it to. I used the 'professional mode'. This let me scan some old color photos to an incredibly high DPI. I choose 1200 DPI which resulted in a 4 by 6 inch photo coming out to around a 4.5 meg file. It was reproduced very accurately. It took around 2 minutes to scan and I had to tell it was a 4 by 6 photo. Using preview you can see if you have placed the photo in the correct spot on the scanner bed. Scanning a black and white page at 300 DPI took only a few seconds. And if you are scanning as a PDF you get an option to have a new page become part of the same document which is very handy.One of the main things about buying a printer is you are really buying an Ink supplier. The cost of Ink will dwarf the cost of the printer itself. It turns out Epson gives you a lot of flexibility. You have two options, the 125 line and the 127 line. The 127 line costs more but gives you higher capacity. I will go this way when I need refills. Both the 125 and 127 have excellent reviews on Amazon. You have a black cartridge and 3 color cartridges. On my current printer I only use black. I use Photo services to print my Photos. I did borrow some photo print paper and was very pleased with the results on the NX530. However I have found in the past it is cheaper to use store print services. But for those that want to print photos you not only get good quality, and VERY fast drying ink, but you can put your photo card directly into the printer. The printer came supplied with regular 125 cartridges not half starter cartridges, a nice touch from Epson. Another neat function is that from your computer once you install the software it will check for any firmware updates. There was one and I initialized it from the computer and it installed in a few minutes.The printer itself is a nice design. The control panel slides out for easy reading and use. The buttons are large. the top of the printer has a nice texture. The paper tray is easy to adjust and clearly marked for various sizes. In the end Epson has made an extremely easy to use wireless printer. It takes just a couple of minutes to get the computer on your network. The functions are all easy to use via smartphone, computer, or directly from the printer with the exception of scanning which you will need to control from a computer or smartphone. The print quality for documents and photos is very good. You have the ability to do double sided printing. Scanning produces excellent results. The ink gets good reviews. I personally trust Epson and Canon the most when it comes to printers. Epson put a lot of many decades of printer know how into the NX530 and user friendliness and it shows. Highly recommended.|I've been using a for over five years and put quite a few miles on it. It was connected to my home server running Windows XP Pro. I recently got my wife a MacBook running OS X 10.7 Lion. Although Lion could recognize the shared drives on the server, it just couldn't figure out the printer. Evidently Apple decided to screw up CUPS ability to work with SMB printers in Lion. I tried several things to no avail including setting up the Microsoft Print Services for Unix so I could connect over LPD. Evidently the Canon drivers didn't like LPD any better than Lion liked SMB. After spending several hours fighting this, I realized I may just need to get a new printer.I started at the Apple Store to see what printers they sold. At the low end was the . I did some digging around to see if the per-page costs would be horrible. The NX430 wasn't bad but the NX530 was even better. Amazon was selling both for the same price, and the NX530 adds duplex printing and wired ethernet.It arrived the next day thanks to the Amazon Prime shipping upgrade. I had it set up and working with my PC in minutes. I then had to have my wife's MacBook download the drivers directly from Epson. The driver on the CD included in the package won't work with Lion. There was a sheet of paper giving instructions on how to navigate this. Unfortunately, Epson's website was slow and it took 30 minutes to downlaod the drivers.Once the drivers were downloaded I had the printer setup on the MacBook in minutes. The scanner also works over wifi with the MacBook. That's a nice upgrade over the Canon which required me to scan only from the server.The printer is quiet and very fast. I haven't tested it's photo capabilities but I suspect it's better than the Canon. One drawback is that the printed paper comes out the front and falls on the floor. There is a flimsy, flip-out plastic piece that is supposed to catch the prints but it doesn't always do a great job.|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.|I have an . This will be a great addition to my network. What one printer lacks, the other one makes up for. They are so very complementary. ** WiFi **Both printers have WiFi capability, but I was never able to get the WorkForce set up with the network. Or rather, I set it up with the network, but my printers could never talk to it. Thus, I could never print via WiFi. The Stylus, however, was a cinch to set up. I didn't even start with it hooked up via USB as suggested in the instructions. The best thing is it works!** Email Photos **The WorkForce cannot print from emails, but the Stylus can. An account has to be registered first in order to set up the very long email address (it's a random set of numbers and letters I had no say in). Through that account, the user may control who the printer will accept email from so as not to waste paper on spam messages. Thank the stars, because Lord knows what types of photos may spit out from those! I emailed myself a test photo and it prints out like an email, with the sender, subject and everything else printed on the top. Very cool. ** Printing From Memory Cards **Both printers accept SD, XD, and Memory Stick Pro, but WorkForce also takes Compact Flash. I used the Memory Stick Pro on both printers. Although overall performance is comparable, I think it's quicker, easier, more intuitive to navigate the printer's screen on the Stylus. There are just so many buttons on the WorkForce. Output is the same as when printing from the computer. I like it.** Printing From Kindle Fire **This part could have used some better documentation. The Stylus is capable of printing from mobile devices, but instructions are not available in their manual. It must be accessed via the company website. Setup takes time but is not too difficult. I was able to get my Kindle Fire up and running. It requires Google Cloud Print and an app from the Kindle Fire app store. I used EasyPrint, with which I'm able to print my documents from the Google Cloud.** Automatic Double-Sided Printing **This is a great feature of the Stylus, something which is missing in the WorkForce. It's fast and easy and it automatically prints the pages in order so that I don't have to go back and collate.** Print Quality **I cannot tell the photos and text printing apart between printers. Both printers print very quickly. The images are sharp and they don't smudge.** Other Options **Unlike the WorkForce, the Stylus does not have automatic page feed for copying, and it does not have fax capabilities. PROS:+ easy to set up and use WiFi+ can email photos to the printer+ can directly print from Kindle Fire and other mobile devices+ accepts SD, XD, Memory Stick Pro cards+ automatic double-sided printing capability+ fast printer speed+ text and images are sharp and smudge-free+ has flatbed copier/scannerCONS:- does not take Compact Flash cards- no automatic page feed for copying- no fax capability- poor documentation for printing from mobile devicesBottom line, the Stylus is a terrific printer for those who want a Wi-Fi networked or email capable printer, or anyone who does lots of double-sided printing. If you're looking for something that can send and receive fax or if you make lots of copies, the WorkForce 630 is a better choice.|I have never been displeased with an Epson product, from the first laser printer I bought ten years ago to this printer, they all do exactly what they are supposed to do without issue. This printer installed without a problem on my home system, just like every other Epson printer I've ever used has. The colors are clear and bright, the blacks are deep and rich.Epson makes a lot of printers and if I was in the market for a printer, I'd check my wallet, see what I could afford and then I'd go shopping here for the one that fit my budget. If I sound like a commercial for Epson, I'm sorry, but for me their products have always been first rate and their support is friendly and fast.|Our house is starting to look something like a warehouse because of the number of printers we have lying around. I suspect that at this point I have at least 1 of every brand, which I suppose puts me in a good position to write a printer review, on the other hand the reason for all of those printers is the cost of ink. Some of those printers are actually unused and gathering dust (the one my daughter got free with her Dell laptop, for example, which takes $120 cartridges). Anyone who has a printer must know how absurd this model is. What you have is effectively a vending machine to the extent that as often as not the ink costs more than the printer, sometimes it costs more/ month than the printer costs to buy....so it is yet to be determined how long we will be using this. My daughter, who is (among other things) a photographer got an Epson on a special deal when she bought her first good camera. A photo-quality printer, it has been used exactly once over the course of 5 or 6 years, as it costs less to have the photos professionally printed than it does to use the printer! I will not know how cost-efficient this one is until we run out of ink (as we have no estimate of how many pages it will print/ cartridge).All that said, my opinion of a printer is closely ties to the cost of ink, at least that goes to its utility. This is a reasonably nice printer, and at this price point, I would even say a very nice printer. It is a low cost all in one machine. The quality of the prints is very nice, I would say better than either of my Canons, really any of the others, save the HP professional laser printer. *However* I continue to use my for most things despite the variable quality of the prints because it takes $10 ink cartridges. However, if the cost of ink cartridges (currently $12.75 for standard, $28 for XL) stays where it is, that is reasonable enough to make this a very usable printer.This printer also took a bit longer to set up than most as it immediately installed a firmware upgrade and required the installation of driver (on a more or less standard windows machine). Thus far no other printer I have used (and there are roughly a dozen) have required the installation of driver {at least not since windows xp, which auto-detects most printers and has drivers on board: plug & play). Note; this was very simple, I mention it only because I know some people who are sufficiently uncomfortable with technology that they would be deterred by having to install drivers from a disk. In addition, while it is a wireless printer, in order to print from an android tablet more drivers are required software needs to be installed on tablet). That is not too surprising given the lack of standards in android devices, but most of other printers I have (honestly, that sounds ridiculous, and is) are plug and play. Part of me wants to take another star off for that,but the reason that I haven't is that:1: the print quality is very nice for an ink jet, among the best I have seen (near laser quality)2: It is an all (print, scan, copy) in one machine at a very low price point3; It has most if not all of the features most people would want, allowing you to print from a memory card (without going through the computer,) print wirelessly from a hand-held device ( and network with machines in other rooms (for example).4, It is fast (again faster than all but the professional laser copier) and quiet.It is relatively intuitive, easy to set up and use (with the caveat that some drivers need to be installed).It has a large footprint as home printers go, I'd say the biggest of the 10-12 we have lying around. It is something you should be aware of, particularly if your space is tight (check the dimensions before ordering).Honestly my biggest issue is right up top: I do not know how much it is going to cost to maintain/ run. When I do, I will come back and add that information.I will say that there was a point, with my kids' printer, that I looked at getting a new printer when it ran out of ink because the cost of a new printer with 2 cartridges was lower than the cost of replacing either cartridge! (My husband, who is ecologically minded stopped me from doing that.... but every time we need to replace a cartridge I check, and think that if everyone did that maybe we could unwind this game: get back to paying for the printer and a reasonable cost for the ink.At this point in time it is not the case that this printer costs less than the ink (with standard ink cartridges running circa $15) but how economical it is will depend on how many prints we get from the cartridge. My personal experience with Epson is that it has been one of the more expensive to run, but it does give you nicer prints. also looks like Epson is getting better in this way! (I have long said that whoever offers a reasonable, fair cost of operation gets the market. Maybe Epson has figured this out!) At the time of this revision (my 3rd in as many days) the cartridges cost $15.78 for a standard, and $28 for an XL (which I understand gives you 1,000 prints. (Thank you Patrick for leaving that comment and providing more information). That is a pretty reasonable cost from my perspective, and bumps this up to 5 stars. It looks like this one may well be the one which sends the other to a garage sale or goodwill! Nice print, easy to uses, accepts a variety of inputs, scans & faxes. Really you can not ask for much more!Note: I will not revise every time there is a price change in either printer or ink costs. I have seen huge variability over the past week alone :) But have revised my opinion based on the current price from amazon (and ordered some myself, considering this a very reasonable price). Just be aware that prices change here, things go on special, market place sellers come and go, so I am always hesitant to put price information in my reviews. On the other hand, cost is a factor in all of our purchases, and so it has to influence my decision (and ratings) some. Do not rely on the $ amount sited in the review, consider it an approximation and look at what Amazon is selling it for. (In my experience it is rare to find a better price; they work on that, and successfully too.) Hmm, maybe now I can pass the old Cannon on to the kids knowing that with this networked, they can print their homework or whatever needs to be legible, and save the one with the ultra- cheap ink for things which will ultimately be recycled ;)In sum; I have changed my opinion of this machine to accord with what I consider a reasonable cost of operation. If I were buying or replacing a printer now, I would make this one my first choice. Why?1. Best print quality I have seen on an inkjet printer, considering *all* the major manufacturers.2. Ability to network, print remotely, wirelessly, from an android tablet or memory card (in addition to standard wired options)3 All in one functions: scan, print, fax4. speed: fastest ink jet5. reasonable cost *both to purchase and operate;* among the best in this regard. I have 1 printer (and early Canon Pixma) which is less expensive to use, but the print quality is not anywhere near as good.The only cons, or caveats: It is larger than many home printers. Looks at the dimensions and consider the space you have available. It also requires the installations of drivers (provided on disk). It is a simple install, and I do not believe recommends against this machine unless you are very very uncomfortable with technology and do not want to have to do anything more than plus it in.Someone called another printer I reviewed (a pixma) "the perfect printer". I generally hesitate to make such strong statements, but may go out on a limb and say that about this machine. The other is a bit less expensive to run, However, the quality of prints from this machine is very much better. (I could not refer to a printer as "perfect" which sometimes produces illegible prints, and... I have a few other issues with that machine as well). For this machine I would say that it depends on what you consider reasonable. At $28/ 1,000 pages, I consider it a reasonable cost of operation.
