Epson XP-600 Printer Review

The Epson Expression Premium XP-600 Small-in-One inkjet can satisfy the printing, scanning, and copying needs of an individual or even a small family, with a very small footprint that is ideal in tight spaces, and its photo quality is impressive. ISO print speeds are rated at 12 pages per minute in black and 9 pages per minute in color, and XL versions of Epson XP-600 printer ink supplies can help users save money.

The XP-600 sits in the middle of its model line, with a few extras from the XP-400 model, but without the office-centric features like an automatic document feeder and faxing function of the XP-800. This makes it a good compromise for those who want excellent photo printing and wireless sharing, but don't necessarily need the upgrades.

Because the XP-600 uses a horizontal orientation for the paper feed, it sheds a few inches from its footprint as well. The unit measures 5.4x15.4x19.8 inches when printing, but folds up a little tighter for storage. With the five Expression Premium XP-600 ink supplies installed, it still weighs only 21.5 pounds. The input paper tray holds a respectable 100 sheets at a time, and users can even print on optical media like CDs and DVDs.

Prices for replacement Expression Premium XP-600 ink cartridges are affordable, even for the XL versions with larger capacities. Seeking out compatible Epson XP-600 ink cartridges can potentially save even more. In addition to the standard cyan, magenta, yellow, and black Epson XP-600 printer ink, a "photo black" supply helps produce deeper blacks that are perfect for black-and-white photos.

For buyers who don't need the faxing and ADF capabilities of more expensive models in its line, the Epson XP-600 is an economical and space saving inkjet printer that will fill the right niche. For a bit more, however, it is worth considering the extra features, and either way, users benefit from great output quality and fast speeds.
