Expression Home XP-4205 3-in-1 Ink Multifunction Printer, Scanner, Copier, WiFi, 1440dpi, Duplex, 2.4 Inch Display, DIN A4, incl. 3 Months Readyprint Flex Trial

Received today, easy to set up and connect to Wi-Fi and smartphone. It is lightweight and not so big, so it doesn’t eat up so much space on the table, and print quality is awesome. Just right for occasional use at home. It comes with ink, so it’s ready to use. It doesn’t come with a USB cable, but overall, I believe it’s a good buy.

paid £73.99 for this 5 days ago. wish I'd have waited. because I much prefer the current price of £59.99. at time of purchase I wasn't offered the set up service, which might have saved me days trying to set this printer up. the printer did have connection issues which took me 4 days to fix, the Epson software on windows 11 couldn't find or connect to the printer. once up and running the print quality is really good and crisp. I have previously used a cannon pixma which is so much easier to set up (less than an hour), I wanted to move away from the pixma because the inks are so expensive. The Epson once up and running offers a better quality print and allows alternative compatible inks making it more affordable in the long run. the only downsize is it doesn't have adf and it cost more than I wanted but seeing the printed pages I am pleased that I made the change to Epson. also it does also offer a subscription for ink and other supplies but this is not compulsory allowing freedom. Update: both the printer and my pc are set up to wifi (the same network) wireless on this printer quite literally relies on your location being turned on all the time. Update: printing normal documents give a nice print. I haven't seen a review for printed photo's on this device, I have just printed my first photo from this device, the print quality of photo's is not the best, I used premium glossy photo paper and Epson original ink for the photo's, the lighter back ground photo came out ok but not photo quality and the darker background not so good, it looks more faded and hasn't really picked up the colours of the photo. The starter ink prints around 200 pages, I got roughly 200 pages, 4 of those pages were Photo's, my documents were both colour and grey scale.

After my old printer stopped working, I’d been getting by with a cordless thermal printer which I think is okay for occasional use but it was time to upgrade to something more permanent with reliable print quality for my home office set up. I wanted something simple to use that would let me print wirelessly from my Mac and iPhone, do occasional scanning and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money either on the printer OR the inks, the price of which I researched BEFORE choosing this printer (I’m using cheaper compatible cartridges rather than official Epson ones). I actually think this is a very decent product; nothing wrong with the printing quality, it's easy to use the features via the control panel screen and it’s been reliable for me with the WIFI connectivity. Just to add, I was anxious about the setup from the outset but this was straightforward: you download the Epson Smart Panel app and it guides you through the process, step-by-step. It includes alignment/ink testing which was actually like a fun quiz to do (hehe) and felt very thorough for quality control. The only thing I got briefly stuck on was when it asked for a product PASSWORD (this is actually printed on the inside; just lift up the top, as if you were going to install the inks and you’ll see it in there). It’s a bit of a noisy beast but I can put up with it for the budget price (under £60 during Black Friday sale); I do think it’s great value for money for the functionality it offers and the ease of use. I really like the white colour too (much easier on the eyes in my white workspace).

Really great for the price. It was easy enough to set up and it’s the first printer I’ve had that actually just prints without lots of hassle.

Good printer for home use. Attractive and not too big. No fax facility, but I cannot recall how long ago I ever needed that. 4 Cartridge system, so less wasted ink than using a 3in1 cartridge. Print quality is good. It can print double sided to save paper. It runs a bit slower when getting started than my old epson (WF series). But not seriously slow. Good value. Does the job.

Despite everything supposedly being online these days, some printing is still required so a home printer is somewhat essential. I also needed a scanner for all my personal documentation and mail since I don't have room to store paper. This printer/scanner had good reviews, so I purchased it. Despite being inundated with emails to subscribe to the ink - which I still haven't done - it does what it is supposed to do when it comes to printing. It doesn't jam, there are no errors in printing (smudges, etc.) so in that respect it's fine. The con for me is the excruciatingly slow speed at which it scans. I have resorted to using the app on my phone for scanning as it is one click. Even the quality of the scans isn't that great with text from double-sided letters coming through. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this printer if you need it to work as a scanner as well.

Most disgusting printer I have ever seen they gave me half way filled ink and they are saying it 3 months ink I only had it yesterday and the ink is already gone and the paper got stuck inside so many times I’m sick of it and I only had it yesterday and it doesn’t print very well
