Satisfying upgrade
By owookiee
I was upgrading from a single-function color inkjet printer. Having an all-in-one with scanning and printing, including double-sided printing, is a huge improvement. The Epson has both good and bad about it.

Pros:
-Amazingly fast. This goes for scanning, copying, printing, really impressive.
-Quality of output - photos and documents are crisp. No ink bleeding like my last printer, even if air humidity is high.
-Quick drying, I can touch and stack documents fresh out of the printer with zero smudging.
-The display adjusts angle for easy viewing whether the printer is eye-level or waist level.
-Individual print cartridges, don't seem too expensive, and don't seem to drain that quickly.

Cons:
-Software install. Worked fine on Windows 7. It failed on a Macbook and a Macbook Pro, however, the drivers still installed and these two laptops can use the printer fine, though the software is not fully installed (comes with a photo printing app and a desktop publishing app). I also attempted to install on the Macbook Virtual Box version of Windows XP, this failed horribly, it complained it could not contact the printer over the wireless though the light on the printer indicated otherwise.
-Construction. It looks to be entirely plastic, and not the thick sturdy plastic, but very flimsy and bendable. Changing the paper in the tray and having to adjust the guide rails fills me with fear of breaking it.
-Was hoping to assign it an IP address through the printer's display setup, but looked like it was DHCP or nothing. I really expected more programmability via the display rather than through the printer software (which is a bust on my Macs).

it delivers as expected
By JJ
I researched and read reviews on this product before I bought it via Amazon's black friday deals. $99 for an all-in-one wireless printer, it's a steal! So that's the first plus. Second is that the set up was damn easy. I didn't really had to read the set up manual. I just had to browse through it quickly and remembered the steps. Not a lot to remember BUT most important thing to remember is NOT to plug any USB cable if you are going to use it wireless. I use a PC. So, I can't say anything about a MAC. But I did see reviews on MAC issues. So do your homework, if you are a MAC user. BUt I believe that there's a solution. Third, the printing is amazing. I already tried all features, double sided printing, wireless printing, photo printing, mobile printing, etc... it all works! The only thing I can't rate at this time is the durability cause I don't know how durable it is at this time... I just got it. I do have one issue, the changing of paper type. YOu have to remove the tray all the way out to replace/add paper. Oh well, I guess I can live with this since I don't change paper types as often as others may. It is for home use. Overall, I love my new printer!

Fast, but lacking important features...
By W. B. Halper
The NX625 is an inexpensive printer using cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink cartridges. Although it is fine for letters, school and general office work, photo printing is weak when compared to printers that use additional color cartridges. The lack of a feeder for multi-page scanning and any fax capability also limit the NX625's usefulness in many situations. Offsetting that, the designers have optimized it for print speed...if you need to print multi-page documents, the NX625 is really fast. Let's look at it in more detail...

Installation - I installed this printer on several PCs (running Windows 7 and Vista) and one Mac (running Snow Leopard). Installation was simple on all the computers, at least after I finally followed the directions and used the installation disk. Since (like most men) I know that following instructions is a primary cause of ED, I had problems the first time...all the computers identified the printer as a "NX620 Series", not specifically the NX625, and were unable to download the drivers from the web. When I followed the instructions and used the disk to load the drivers, it worked just fine. My spouse hopes that I'll eventually recover.

Printing - The NX625 is an inexpensive printer using just cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink cartridges. It shows. Although it's fine for letters, school and general office work, the quality of photo printing is weak when compared to my Epson Artisan 810 (replaced by the Epson Artisan 835 Color Inkjet All-In-One (C11CA73201)) which also uses light magenta and light cyan cartridges. Also, the dot size is rather large, with a noticeable stippling as colors blend together. This isn't present in printers specifically designed for photographic printing. (I suspect that the relatively large dot size is a design trade-off to increase the pages-per-minute print speed. Fewer dots require less computer processing and allow the print head to be moved back and forth faster.)

On the positive side, the NX625 can handle a decent range of paper types. It has a built-in duplexer that's flush with the back panel. My older Epson has the duplexer hanging a couple of inches out the back, which has always been annoying...it prevents the printer from being pushed against with a wall. The paper tray is flimsy, but it works and holds enough paper that it's not always running out. The output tray is also thin plastic, with enough ridges on the underside to keep it rigid.

Copying and Scanning - The NX625 is strictly a one page at-a-time flatbed scanner. Slightly more expensive models incorporate a feeder to allow you to scan a multipage document without standing there, continuously opening and shutting the cover. Copy quality is ok, and is obviously subject to the same issues that affect print quality.

Faxing - The NX625 is not the printer to buy if you need to send a lot of faxes...it doesn't have any fax capability.

Ink - There are two ink cartridge sets available for the NX625. The Epson Durabrite Ultra Ink, Black (T125120) and Epson Durabrite Ultra Ink, Color Multipack (CMY) (T125520)is the standard capacity set. The Epson Durabrite Ultra Ink, Black (T127120) and Epson Durabrite Ultra Ink, Color Multipack (CMY) (T127520) have more ink, but are quite a bit more expensive. As with any printer, ink costs far outweigh the initial printer cost. I haven't used it enough to get a solid estimate of per page printing cost, but will update this review when I do.

Conclusion - Think carefully about your needs before purchasing the NX625. Other printers are available for nominally more money that incorporate faxing and have a document feeder. Because of the cost of the ink cartridges, I expect the operating cost to be fairly high. The high print speed is its main claim to fame, but, in my opinion, that's not enough to make up for the other factors. As a result, I'm just giving it two stars.
