Epson Stylus NX430 Epson

Back-to-school shoppers looking for a space-saving printer to fit in a dorm room may find a match in Epson's newest desktop printer, the Stylus NX430. The company is so proud of its ultracompact chassis that it's inventing a new category for it, along the same lines as the Ultrabook, except the printer version is being touted as the Small-in-One. Get it?

Despite its small stature, the NX430 competes with larger models with an ample 2.5-inch touch panel and a vibrant screen for light-duty photo editing directly on the machine, superquiet operation, and the mobile benefits of Epson Connect, another proprietary way to print from the cloud by sending jobs to a unique e-mail address assigned to each printer.

Using the free Epson iPrint application (also available for Android and BlackBerry), users can output their photos and documents directly to the printer if both devices are connected to the same wireless network.

Just in time for the school season, the Epson NX430 will be available later this month at retail stores for the budget-friendly price of $99.
