Epson Stylus NX330 Ink Cartridges

Epson NX330 Printer Review

The Epson Stylus NX330 inkjet printer certainly earns its classification as a Small-in-One device, with excellent printing, copying, and scanning functions packed into one compact device. It still manages respectable ISO speeds of up to 6.2 pages per minute, and color speeds of up to 3.2 pages per minute, with cost-effective Stylus NX330 printer ink supplies to boot.

How small is it? The unit measures just 5.7x15.4x11.8 inches when folded up for storage, and even with the Epson NX330 ink installed, it weighs only 9 pounds. Although the 1.44-inch tilt LCD screen is a bit small, it is very functional, though the limited buttons on the control panel do mean that users will rely heavily on the small screen, which could be problematic for those with poor eyesight.

The Epson Connect feature integrates with the unit's built-in wireless support and allows for remote printing as well as printing from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. The input tray of the NX330 can hold 100 sheets, and the printer supports sizes up to 8.5x44 inches through the straight-through paper path, which is great for banners and other long projects.

The system uses DURABrite Ultra Epson NX330 ink cartridges, so prints are very resistant to water, fading, and smudges. The Epson NX330 printer ink can even last for up to 118 years under ideal conditions. Two sizes of Stylus NX330 ink cartridges can help users control their cost per page, but the price difference between the two is minimal, so most will opt for the larger supplies.

It feels like a breakthrough in engineering that the Epson Stylus NX330 inkjet printer contains so much functionality in its very small frame. It requires very few compromises beyond a small screen and somewhat limited paper capacity, so it is a real bargain for home users.
