Each year, the period when students are going back to school is quite a good opportunity for consumer electronics manufacturers to further push ahead their products, especially those that could really come in handy during the various stages of the educational process. And this is exactly what Epson is doing right now, since the company has just announced that it is offering an instant rebate on some of its most popular all-in-ones, the Epson Stylus NX415 and the Epson Stylus NX515, which will be available for around 40 bucks less than the previous price tags.

If they decide to take advantage of this very interesting offering, students will be able to benefit from the advantages provided by the print quality, fast print and copy speeds, 2.5-inch color LCD screen and memory card slots for standalone photo printing, one-touch copy function, manual two-sided printing and instant-drying DURABrite Ultra inks delivered by these two printing solutions.

Moreover, the Epson Stylus NX515 allows users to scan directly to e-mail with one touch and offers built-in Wi-Fi and networking capabilities. For those looking further ahead, the CreativeZone also offers free templates for graduation-themed invitations, money cards and thank-you cards for end-of-the-year projects.

"At Epson, we know that many parents and students are looking for a high-quality printer with great features for a great value as they prepare to go back to school," said Kristi Lanzit, product manager, Consumer Ink Jets, Epson America Inc.

Epson's rep went on to say that "With the Epson Stylus NX415 or NX515, they will get the best combination of features for the price. The Epson Stylus NX515 with built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet networking is the perfect solution for students, teachers and families. It offers versatile printing, copying and scanning features, and it's extremely fast - up to two times faster than any comparable printer in its price range. The $40 discount increases its value and makes it ideal for any budget," this last statement being quite true, especially taking into account the fact that, by applying the rebate, the Epson Stylus NX415 and NX515 will sell for just 59 US dollars and 109 US dollars, respectively.
