Epson XP-700 Printer Review

The Epson Expression Premium XP-700 Small-in-One inkjet printer excels at printing high-resolution photos on many different types of media, but also can print office documents quickly, at up to 32 pages per minute in both color and monochrome. All the while, users will be saving on Epson XP-700 printer ink, which is quite affordable.

The multiple functions of the XP-700 are very easy to control, thanks to a large touchscreen that takes up most of the control panel. With swipe gestures reminiscent of tablets and smartphones, and large icons, most will find it very easy to use. Automatic duplexing is supported right out of the box, but users will have to settle for a flatbed scanner rather than an automatic document feeder.

The unit has a nice compliment of connection and sharing options, with Wi-Fi, ethernet, and USB available. The front of the device also includes a PictBridge port and memory card slots for direct printing, and users can utilize the large touchscreen display for editing and enhancing photos, with options like cropping and red-eye removal available.

The input paper tray holds 100 sheets, but what is most impressive is the variety of media supported. Users can print on multiple types of glossy and matte photo paper with the Expression Premium XP-700 printer ink, as well as more traditional media like envelopes and labels, and a manual rear-feed tray keeps thick media from bending.

There are a total of five Epson XP-700 ink cartridges, including a "photo black" supply for deeper blacks. This extra Expression Premium XP-700 ink cartridge does add to replacement costs a bit, but prices are pretty affordable, and the difference in quality is noticeable.

With a bright, full-color display that makes it very easy to use, home users who want photo printing and basic office functions will find this inkjet device very appealing. Its price is low, and Epson XP-700 ink supplies are affordable enough for small budgets.
