Epson Expression Photo XP-850

Zitat: Pro: + excellent photo output + Ethernet and wifi networking + scanner and fax Contra: - text quality could be improved - not very fast

Zitat: Pro: + Print quality + Duplexing ADF + Mobile print options Con: - Costly ink replacements - Lack of photo software - Slower print speeds than XP-800 If you just read through this review, you´ve probably already come to the conclusion that the Expression Premium XP-800 and XP-850 are incredibly similar models. The main differences between the two are the print speeds (slower on the XP-850) and the ink cartridges (the XP-850 has six cartridges). While I did notice improved photo print quality overall, I´m not entirely convinced that it´s worth paying $20 more up front and an additional $11-$17 on the sixth cartridge every replacement cycle for the Expression Photo XP-850 when the Expression Premium XP-800 did everything as well (if not better) for less. Having said that, the Expression Photo XP-850 is still a quality all-in-one inkjet that would work well in most home environments. It offers outstanding photo quality and a blend of excellent features including fax functionality, a built-in memory card reader and front side USB port, CD/DVD printing, built-in wireless and a duplexing 30-sheet ADF. Just don´t forget that the Expression Premium XP-800 does all of that as well.

Zitat: The Epson Expression Photo XP-850 Small-in-One Printer is an inkjet printer that produces great-looking photos, and offers automatic duplex printing and scanning. Unfortunately we found washed-out colour graphics on plain paper and a clunky push-scan setup. It´s definitely worth a look, however.
