Epson Stylus NX410 Ink Cartridges

Epson NX410 Printer Review

The Epson Stylus NX410 offers basic photo printing, copying and scanning features that can suit small or home offices with light workloads. The device can print at decent speeds of up to 34 pages per minute for monochrome documents, which makes it quicker than typical multifunction inkjet printers in its class. Whether printing standard documents like term papers or more unique projects like borderless photos, this device has the multipurpose capabilities, high-quality Stylus NX410 printer ink and flexible media handling to support a range of projects.

Expert reviews for this device are positive in regard to its decent range of photo-centric features, like an LCD display for previewing images and memory card slots for direct photo printing from compatible camera cards. Users can even use the scanner to scan faded photographs to their PC, then restore and enhance them to their original quality using the provided photo editing software. However, reviews also cite disappointment at the lack of an automatic document feeder or a fax feature.

The device is most noteworthy for its high-quality output that is rarely seen in simple home office printers, printing photos with a sharp resolution of 5760x1440 dpi using smear-resistant Epson NX410 printer ink. To enhance the quality of photos users can select from a range of accepted specialty media like glossy photo paper, premium photo paper and matte scrapbook photo paper. The device can only support a maximum of 100 pages at once, so it's best suited to handle low volumes.

The unit's individual cyan, magenta, yellow and black Epson NX410 ink cartridges have low standard yields of only 200 pages for each color supply and 170 pages for the black Stylus NX410 ink. To handle an increase in productivity the device also has optional high-capacity replacements that can last for 350 pages for the color supply and 410 pages for the black Epson NX410 ink cartridge.

The NX410's strongest feature is its photo printing, which provides plenty of editing versatility and lab-quality results. The addition of multipurpose functionality and quick speeds help make up for its omission of a few features like faxing, consequently make it one of the better options in its class of home inkjet printers.
