MY THOUGHTS:

I have owned many printers in my time, my first one being an Epson about 15 years ago.  I am not sure why I strayed away from Epson printers as the one I had was a trooper but somehow I forgot about them.  Well I got the chance to try out the Epson NX625 printer and I am in love!  It is an awesome all-in-one printer!  It prints, scans, copies, and even has a 2.5-inch LCD screen to edit and print photos!  The only thing this printer doesn’t do is load more paper that is after you run out of the 150 pages it holds!

When I first setup this printer I was amazed at how sharp and sleek it looks, since it is right in the middle of two desks I love that it is not ugly or real bulky.  It doesn’t have a back loader paper tray either which I am finding is much easier to fill.  Right out of the box you plug it in, set up to connect to your home’s wireless network if you’d like, snap in the included ink cartridges, add some paper and you are ready to go!  Oh I did have to install some software on my computer but that was really quick and easy on my Mac.

This printer is called the world’s fastest all-in-one (for its price point) and it definitely is – I am no longer waiting for what seems like forever for that coupon to pint so I can run to the store!   I love the built-in wireless option because I can now print from my laptop without having to load it on my desktop.  You can also print from your iPhone or other mobile device directly, which my husband is loving!  (Separate review coming on the PrintJinni App for iPhone.)

An issue I have had with printers in the past is photo printing, they never come out very good.  Well I loaded the Epson NX625 with some 4X6 inch Glossy Photo Paper and my picture came out just as it would it I went to Target or Walgreens and got it done.  Ou can also insert you camera’s memory card directly into the printer to print without a computer!  Yes you can even edit the photos quickly (remove red-eye, auto photo correction and color restoration) on the 2.5 inch LCD screen!  I thought that was pretty cool because so many times after a party or something someone asks for a copy of a photo I took and now I can quickly print it for them without booting up my computer, saving it to iPhoto and clicking print.  The photos also are printer with DURABrite Ultra pigment ink so you can easily handle the photo after printing – no more waiting a few minutes for the ink to dry – and are smudge and water resistant.  Oh and there is no special ink cartridges to buy to get high quality photo printing, the Epson cartridges are meant for photo or document printing.  With the ink thee are individual ink cartridges (one black and three colors) which I used to think it a pain but now realize I can save money because I only have to replace the color I need.

My husband’s favorite feature on this printer is automatic two-sided printing.  He prints a lot of his school reading at home and it is a waste to print only on one side so now we are saving money on paper and it is printing faster!   I will say though we haven’t been able to print two-sided from our Mac yet, but my husband hasn’t had a problem printing from the PC we have.  I am not giving up yet but I just haven’t had time to sit down with it.

Overall, there is nothing I don’t like about this printer and it definitely beats the past printers I have owned.  From its sleek black design and size to its fast, high quality printing, the Epson NX625 really does an awesome job, especially for the price!  I also found that the multi-pack of color ink is about $30 so it doesn’t cost really any more than other color cartridges.  It is nice though to replace just one color if for example you print a lot of yellow, cyan, or magenta.
