Lots of features…
Auto-feeder works great for scanning. No problems with scanning and faxing. Scans are bright and clean-looking, and there is no delay waiting for it to warm up as in older models. Pictures look great and print quickly. The tray that catches your printed pages is motorized and extends automatically when you print. The touch screen is legible and a decent size. Includes a memory card slot so you can plug the one from your camera right into the printer and print without firing up your computer. Also includes a USB connector to print photos from flash drives or portable hard drives. The scan feeder also flips closed to keep dust out of the unit. The only minor issue I can find is how it handles printing CD/DVD. There is a plastic carrier that you put the CD/DVD in, then slide it in above the paper cartridge. This is a little awkward, but works fine. I don’t print too many CD/DVD anyway. Overall a very well thought-out and flexible printer.

Multiple issues makes it necessary to return printer and purchase another printer. I am trying a CANON PIXMA MG7520.
This was my third Epson printer.Pros:It made wonderful copies. Nice footprint. The size is acceptable. The feeder is a great feature. Screen easy to understand. When it was good – it was very good.Cons:After unpacking the first issue was setting up wireless. It wasn’t straight forward and since I really needed to print I ended up using the USB port. I connected to a Mac. Sometimes with Mac software isn’t updated or as elaborate as a PC.The black ink was difficult to get recognized but did after several tries. Later when I had to replace the black with another Epson cartridge. It wouldn’t accept it or the original cartridge I took out. After many attempts (and wasted ink) I looked into the ink reservoir to determine how the cartridge made contact with the receptacle. Inside the machine the contacts are nine pins that contact the cartridge. This time I put the cartridge back and pulled it gently toward the pins. The cartridge was recognized.In printing a test Christmas card on letter size plain paper I had lines going through the print at regular intervals. I increased the ink output by changing the setting to Presentation Matte. I no longer had lines.I enjoyed the feeder for copying but when I tried to feed two sheets it printed it at a snail’s pace and never printed the whole document. I cancelled and fed the sheets one at a time.I was printing a black laden document and I ran out of ink again. The problem is the information about ink reserves on your desktop isn’t updated so you aren’t aware in of ink reserves in real time. Not wanting to change the ink I tried “to cancel”. That just confused the printer and locked up (even though it was and option).The design of the printer is good except when you lift the scanner to get to the print reservoir the lid is heavy and wobbly. I wish they had some air hinge that made this more secure.We wanted to be able to fax and that was one reason we purchased this printer but guess what, you need a landline. I assumed it would go wireless.All three of the Epson’s I have had had the same problem not recognizing or realizing ink levels. i have a wonderful R1900 I am still hoping to resurrect.Lastly, the Epson support in weak. I called Epson but oh, it was Sunday. I went online and they ask all information about your incident but they return information which I already checked out and is nothing new. If I was responsible for Epson I would scour sites to see what people are saying about our printers. I would rectify that and provide real support. Why ask what kind of ink do you use and you say Epson and their solution is to use Epson ink. I don’t think they care about support. They are so close. They could be great. Adapt, listen and fix.So software, quality control, some design issues and mainly lack of support are main reasons. Sorry to leave.

Epson Expression Photo XP-860 a fine compact printer for home use.
A compact all-in-one printer that prints and scans in duplex quickly and quietly. The included software allows for a plethora of connectivity options. From wireless to hardwired, Apple AirPrint to Google Cloud Print. There is even an Epson iPrint mode where one can send a print job to the printer remotely. The software and connectivity features are definitely a strength of this multi-functional printer.As for text and photo quality – they are good. Epson good of course. The colors are rich and accurate. Edge to edge printing works fine. I did run into an issue with printing some PDFs. The top margin got chopped off. It appears as if the print job set margins that over-ride the default for the print mode. My only solution so far has been to print at 95% scale. Not a fix, but a workaround.This printer is very good for home use. However, if you are looking for a small business printer, the 100 page capacity of the main paper carrier may be an issue. There is a 2nd paper tray but that is limited to a paltry 20 pages. Luckily, around here 100+ print jobs are as rare as a Coors.If you are looking for an easy to use, good quality printer, the Epson Expression Photo XP-860 is a fine choice.

I miss my Artisan 835
Got this as a replacement for my Artisan 835 which has served me faithfully for many years until finally one day after many months of moaning and groaning, it gave up. I figure this is the replacement for the 835 as it is their all-in-one photo printer with all the same features. This printer has a smaller footprint and is lighter than the old 835 it replaces.Pros:* The photos are still fantastic quality* Smaller footprint takes up less space* Nice LED display* Paper feeder is very handy when copying or scanning more that one page* Wireless setup with simpleCons:* Tiny ink cartridges* Slow, slow, slow. Scanning at a high dpi takes forever! Getting a print job started takes a while to get going too* CD holder is no longer a motorized tray. It is an accessory tray stored on the bottom of the printer that you take out and then insert into the front of the paper output only after you retract the paper output try (which is motorized)* Card stock or photo paper tray is now a separate tray that must be inserted to a specific point in the printer. If you stick it in too far, which you are allowed to do, it will not work.* Lower paper holding capacity than the old 835* Lost of feature which are not intuitiveIf I knew all these things before I purchased this, I probably would have gone with a different printer. I have a feeling that the motorized display tilt and paper output try will be the first things to fail with this printer. These are just gimmick items that aren’t needed and just meant to fail.

This is a great printer no problems at all could be a bit faster but for what I need it for it is perfect.

Worst printer among all I had. Issues from first days. While printing photos are fine (when works) the connectivity is ancient: WI-FI never works well and reset, reconnect, does not help. Each day you have to re-connect again, getting no IP or shows perfectly connected but “printer can’t be found”, can’t print from smartphones and EVEN direct LAN via cable printing is working not every tine. Installing drivers on PC (Windows 10) is bad as well, need to re-install often. Interlace is slow, firmware update didn’t change anything. I am IT Engineer, had dozen of printers (at least) in my past and never had such issues.Laser printer from Samsung I have beside works always fine, for example, on the same network, reliable and quick. Can’t recommend this printer until Epson resolves issues.
