Win your very own Epson Stylus NX515 all-in-one printer!

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

I think one of the biggest “must-haves” for any family, and especially for stay-at-home-moms, is a good all-in-one printer! We use ours all the time and would be lost without it. I actually had to go a few weeks this summer without my all-in-one after a big storm fried mine. Those long few weeks made me realize how much we truly rely on our all-in-one printer!!!

From making copies of paperwork for school to printing pictures to send to grandma and grandpa, the all-in-one printers have dozens of uses. Sure, you could always do your printing, copying, and faxing at the library or a copy store, but if you’ve ever tried to do that with kids in tote you know how much of a hassle that is! And, with all-in-one printers being so affordable these days, why not have all those capabilities right in your own home?

Recently I had the chance to try out the new Epson Stylus NX515 and absolutely loved it!

The Epson Stylus NX515 was so easy to set-up. In a matter of minutes I was connected and printing. And the printing — SUPER FAST! Even my impatient daughter appreciated the printing speed when I was printing pictures for her to color from her favorite websites.

I was especially impressed with the quality of the prints it produced. The DURABrite Ultra Ink produces crisp documents and vibrant photos. Because the ink instantly dries I was able to take my photos from printer to frame without waiting and without fear of smudging. You can even run your prints under water and the ink won’t smudge! I tried it….it didn’t smudge!!!

The Epson Stylus NX515 also features:

  • A large 2.5″ LCD screen
  • Up to 5760 x 1440 optimized printing dpi & 2400 dip scanning
  • Superior photo printing from memory cards and digital cameras
  • BorderFree photo printing in 4″x6″, 5″x7″ and letter sizes
  • Scan documents and photos directly to email
  • Edit and enhance photos without needing a computer – This is a very cool feature! Not only does it correct red eye with one click but it also adjusts the exposure of the photo and can distinguish people from the scenery, ultimately giving you the best print of your photo!!!
  • Acrosoft Print Creations software for creating personalized greeting cards, invitations, calendars, etc.
  • Compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems

All of those features are really great but my absolute favorite feature is how you connect to the printer. The Epson Stylus NX515 offers three connection options: Ethernet, USB 2.0, and Wireless. Yes, WIRELESS!!!

With the Epson Stylus NX515‘s built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, your printer is capable of connecting to your home network, allowing you access to all of your printer’s functions without actually connecting your printer to your computer. This is a huge feature for my house because, with my laptop, I am rarely near my printer when I actually need to print something. My husband and I can both access the printer from our laptops without waiting for the other to unplug and I can keep the printer safely hidden away from my toddler’s curious fingers!

I was surprised at how compact the printer actually was, as I remember not too long ago having a huge printer taking up most of the space on my desk, and was even more surprised at the price. Remember before when I mentioned how affordable these all-in-one printers are now? Well, the Epson Stylus NX515, with all of it’s great features, is amazingly affordable!!! The Stylus NX series offers four different printer options ranging from the entry-level NX115 at $69.99 to the extremely fast flagship NX515 at $149.99. Why the different printer levels? Because everyone’s printing needs are a little different. Realizing this, Epson wanted to offer affordable and quality all-in-one printers that would fit anyone’s needs and budgets!

All this to say, I am very impressed and very pleased with the Epson Stylus NX515. It offers quality prints and copies and an unbeatable price!!! This is definitely a Back To School item you must have!

As part of our Back To School Giveaway event, Epson is giving away a Stylus NX515 (retail value of $149.99) to one of our lucky readers! What an amazing way to start off the school year than with a brand new all-in-one printer! Thank you so much Epson!!!

I have a very old printer that doesn't do much at all and I use my printer every day but I can't print pictures because the quality of the pictures are horrible with this printer.

  261. I own Another Brand of all-in-one printer, and even though that brand is supposed to be one of the best, I've had nothing but problems with it. The paper feed is the worst! I have to shove a piece of paper into it every time because it just won't feed by itself.

  272. Oh gosh, my printer is older than my cat. Each time I use it I fear it will just kaput, the sounds it makes are pathetic. It needs to be taken out back lol. Like the fax machine in Office Space 😀

    Thank you

  319. My family sure could use this with kids in school taking honors advanced class's plus at home they take advanced honors online class's so the printer we have is getting worn out and my daughter complains about having to plug in and out which is wearing her pc slot out so she has been begging for a wireless printer,

    Thank you

    camper223[at]live[dot]com

  335. This would be great to have. Just in time for school -my kids do alot of printing etc. for their school projects

  344. I would love to win this, our printer just went out and we don't have the money to replace it.

  360. wow!! this is an amazing giveaway! we could really use this for all of our upcoming school projects my daughters will have!

  386. Just what I have been looking for. This would be perfect for networking my home. I would surely connect wirelessly.

  388. Why is it that the printer cartridges always cost more then the printer itself? I wish someone would make a printer with reasonably priced cartridges, especially for children who love to print their artwork!

  398. Thank you all for sharing this! I had no idea there were inks out there like this. Our scanner and printer broke, so I know what I will be looking into buying if I don't win!

  400. Gearing up to send all three of my girls to school this year. It's going to be a hard year for me… Hopefully this will allow my photography business to pick up some too.

  406. ohhhhhh I NEED this! 🙂 As a homeschool mama and having several home businesses this would be absolutely beyond wonderful! Put me in!

  411. Oh I need this one for my classroom. I always need to print but have no way to do it!

  426. A printer with wifi built in would be great to have to cut on on all the tangles of cords.

  428. I've had Epson printers in the past and they are always top notch in the quality department.

  431. We're using a printer now that takes forever to print one page. This would be fantastic to have in the house for all of us to use.
    Thank you for another great giveaway.

  432. Please pick me. I really need a new printer. I had one similar to this before. They are pretty good.

  433. A printer that works would be incredible, but add in the scanner and wireless features and I'd be in heaven!

  445. A wireless printer would be great because I am always creating projects for my classroom and a new printer would definately speed things up. Thanks!

  467. I could really use this printer. The wireless function is awesome and I wish my current printer had this function as right now I can't print anything from my laptop, no matter how many which ways to Sunday I try to set it up.

    spitfyr323 at hotmail dot com

  481. Looks great! Hopefully, I can win this great item. It really looks classy and sturdy.

  482. The paper feed on our Dell printer just broke. This would be a perfect replacement with all of the old features and more.

  484. Wow great giveaway and so very timely. Just got a laptop and have to drag it back to the office to print…yuck/ Didn't realize how much I printed and talk about expensive ink. I am so glad Epson came out with a decent printer with low cost ink. Thanks for the giveaway.

  533. I don't see my first post on the list, so I'll enter it again. I'd love to win this so I can have a way to link my laptop to my home network. Our current printer does not have wifi connectivity so I have to use a cord to hook up to the printer every time I need to print anything… what a pain in the rear that is.

  540. could really use a printer upgrade. have a epson stylus photo 875DCS printer that epson no longer upgrades drivers. should have gotten the cheaper model, that one they support.

  553. oh my goodness, I am in dyer need of a new printer. I do the church bulletins every week and my printer quit. I am borrowing one right now because I have not found one that I really like. Until now. This printer sounds wonderful. And just what I need. As it is a scanner too. My scanner that I have is for windows 98 (if that tells you anything) lol It took me for ever to find a driver update for it. But it would just be awesome to have an all in one.
    And what, you can edit and enhance photos without a computer. WOW!!!

  563. I've been without a printer for almost a year & a half & I sure do miss it! Please count me in.

  568. We currently have an Epson printer, which has been great. It is several years old, and is finally wearing out. Each time we've upgraded computers we haven't been able to afford to upgrade printers also. Our scanner recently quit working, so this would be great to win!

  570. We are printer-less at the moment and this looks like it has a lot of nice features..please enter me to win it!

  589. Oh Lord do I need this right now! Unfortunately we're without a printer right now, and finances are tight enough to make buying one not possible for awhile.

    Thanks for the opportunity to let me win this one!

  598. This amazing Epson Printer is just the ticket to a successful school year!

  723. my printer is old and only black ink works and is not wireless i have heard many good things about the Epson line of Printers

  727. I had a nice Epson printer (not quite as nice as this one tho') that I gave to a friend who is starting nursing school and will be doing a lot of studying from home. I felt she needed a printer more than I did. So right now I'm printer-less and a bit lost, although I had planned on picking up a cheapie to get me through the beginning of next month.

  730. For sure, we need a WiFi enabled printer in this house. With each of using an attached printer (4 of us), it's a waste of space!

  731. I love that this has the screen so you can see what you are printin – You can save a lot of wasted printer ink that way!

  749. This would be great to win. We are having problems with our current printer. Thanks for the chance.

  810. 2 Teenagers in High School, 1 in college and a 23 year old living here at home, plus me who often works from home (besides the office) a reliable, sturdy all in one printer is needed in this house to keep up with all we do around here.

    Thank you for the opportunity 🙂

  827. This printer sounds wonderful. Would love to replace the cheap printer that we have. Thanks.

  841. This sounds and looks like an fantastic printer. The scan documents and photos directly to email feature really stands out.

  851. would love this printer! I also subscribed through google reader! (hope that counts aas another entry!)

  854. We don't have a printer, which is a bummer, since it seems that most of the companies that I like only offer online coupons instead of print coupons. I miss out on a lot of savings.
