Expression Photo XP-8700 Wireless All-in-One Printer with Scanner and Copier, 4.3" Color Touchscreen Black

This is by far the latest technology in printers, I have an old HP Photosmart Printer 5320 that crashed & a HP Photosmart 6520 which has become my workhorse, but has a tendency to jam paper all the time & frustrate you! Purchased the Epson Expression Photo Printer 8700 from Amazon after having the 8600 which was ok but did not have the large screen & other features I wanted on it, so returned and purchased the Epson Expression Photo 8700 Printer, believe me it's gem! Colors are sharp, prints fast, is quiet, a little hard on ink, but all inks are expensive, quality is clear and also does DVD, CD labels. Really love this printer. Price was a little high but watch for sale on Amazon. You can print, copy, scan and fax if you like, although I have not used that part of it. Side by Side the Photosmart 6520 compared to the new Epson Expression Photo 8700 was the colors were more vibrant and clear pixels. Both did a good job, but my 6520 is 10 years old now, and this will be the replacement for sure as the 6520 is dying a slow retirement soon. Set up was easy, follow the steps, but if you plan on buying ink outside of Epson, make sure you order Epson ink and not replacement ink to keep your printer in good condition. Ordered replacement ink for one of my old printers, they leaked and caused issues, safe to order the original to save your machine. I don't do updates, as they will pop up all the time during your projects, just dismiss and buy ink when needed. Ink is easy to replace, but again different machine than a Ink Tank Printer, pixels are much better if you are doing a lot of photos and invitations or stationary sets. Very happy! It also has a feeder in the back for doing envelopes and large projects. Impressed with this machine, glad I purchased it.

This printer is perfect for our needs.

So setting up the printer was very easy, the wireless connection was very easy to do. The colors printed were good as well. The reason I returned this printer is I print stickers and decals for small miniature models. This printer would smudge and print horrible , blurring the images and smudding the colors at a small resolution. If your using it just to print documents I'm sure it's perfect for that. However if you using it for crafts or hobbies, I'd suggest going with a cannon. This is the 2nd Epson I returned cause the small resolution quality is always garbage .

It was super easy to set up, hook up to wifi was easy and stays connected. The app could use some tweaking as far as creativity and for plain document printing. I LOVE it has 2 paper trays, letter/legal and a separate photo. I don't find it to be annoyingly noisy, print speed is decent. Definitely worth the money Like most printer, I wish the ink wasn't so expensive. So far, it's been great for simple home use.

It was a long journey to get a good photo printer with AirPrint. Ordered an Epson 7100, starting in January, just to find out the first attempt kept getting delayed. Whether it was on a cargo ship or in China somewhere, the delay was over 5 months. Finally got an Epson 8700 and would not boot up properly. Returned that one and got another 8700. Booted up fine. Prints great pictures (4x6) so far. Was worth the wait. Easy setup and has 6 print cartridges. Nice.

This is the best printer I have owned...and I have owned a few over the past 30 years. Great quality, fast, quiet, flawless printing. Love it.

Top photo was printed from my old Canon Pixma. Bottom photo is high quality on same paper with this Epson XP8700. Cleaning heads now. Will need major improvement for me not to return. Very disappointed Set up was extremely easy. If only the print quality was as good

WORST printer ever! I give it 2 stars because it worked for 2 months of hardly any use. All the sudden error, cannot recognize ink cartridges. I tried cleaning, resetting, shaking ink, etc. I bought 2 extra sets of ink I can not even use because this stupid printer can not find the ink installed. Yes the ink is oem Epson off Amazon. I'd stay away from this garbage. No options in setting to avoid checking for ink quality. Worthless printer. One .ore thing, when you're low on ink it won't print until you buy new ink. When you remove the empty cartridges, they still have ink left in them. Rip off scam thst this machine does not utilize all the ink before forcing you to buy more. Another thing. When you buy in there are a couple colors typically not included in the set. When you find out thst you need an additional 2 colors you find yourself waiting longer now. How convenient thst they don't sell all the colors together?????????
