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

This is by far the latest technology in printers, I have an old HP Photosmart Printer 5320 that crashed & aHP 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 againdifferent machine than a Ink Tank Printer, pixels are much better if you are doing a lot of photos andinvitations 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.

We had to replace our Epson Artisan 1430 Color Printer and after an exhausting search we chose the XP-8700. We have been very pleased with the results. It's at least half the size of the Artisan 1430 and produces the same quality color printing. One of the HUGE improvements over the 1430 is the touch screen that allows for doing quick maintenance and making printer setting adjustments. It's similar to the touch screen on the Epson Workforce 3620. Another big plus for us is that we have been able to use a thicker color photo printer paper (Office Depot brand Professional Semi-Gloss Photo Paper 72 lb). The instructions say you must use Epson Photo Printer Paper, which we found to be too thin (not much thicker than regular printer paper).

DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER IT WILL BECOME UNUSABLE WHEN THE INK THAT COMES WITH IT IS USED UP!I bought this printer October 2024 to print photos. (It did jam a lot with the epson glossy paper, but otherwise photo qualiry was ok. Not great, but ok for the price.) But the reason it is a do not buy is because they will push a firmware update to the printer that won't allow you to use 3rd party ink anymore, but epson does not sell ink for this printer (and if they did the last list price was over $20 per cartridge and cartridges do not last very long). This renders the printer 100% unusable. You will spend hours, days, trying to find work-arounds and trying to roll-back the update and none will work. There is currently a class action lawsuit against epson for this firmware update.

Doing a lot of photo printing for a heritage album. Does a great job on those older photos and love the color quality on newer recent pics. Easy to use and versatile to change size of prints.

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?????????

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 moneyLike most printer, I wish the ink wasn't so expensive. So far, it's been great for simple home use.

I really like how well this prints out, it does a great job scanning it prints double-sided, and the tray can be retracted, which is nice. The major drawback is the ink cartridges are small costly, and it uses up the ink very quickly. I would recommend looking at other Models because the cost of printing with this is higher than any other printer I have ever had.

Produces very nice vibrant prints. I’m using it for prints of my acrylic paintings and the results are very good for my purposes. I previously had a Cannon photo printer so I can compare it to it. The Epson does go through ink pretty quickly, but I am printing 20-40 full color 5x7 and 8x10 art prints in a run. However the ink is less expensive than the cannon ink and easier to find. I am pleased with the purchase.
