The ink costs are high, unfortunately. The standard-size, 245-page black cartridge costs $17, or a whopping 6.9 cents per page, while each 340-page color cartridge costs $12.34, or 3.6 cents per page. A page with all four colors would cost a steep 17.8 cents. The high-yield versions include a 410-page black cartridge that costs $20, or a reasonable 4.9 cents per page. Each 525-page color cartridge costs $17, or 3.2 cents per page. A page with all four colors would cost 14.6 cents.

Epson's Stylus NX515 has more speed than most consumer-oriented MFPs, and much of its design is good. But the ink prices are higher than we'd like.
