Not every printer was created equally. If you think they are all the same, you haven’t yet been introduced to Epson’s Premium XP-820. This small, all-in-one compact device does everything you need from printing and copying to scanning and faxing. What makes this printer so special is its photo printing capabilities that can be done wirelessly from your smartphone.
The 4.3-inch touchscreen easily navigates us through the various settings with a swipe of the finger to quickly and easily set the unit up and operate it. We recently tested the XP-820 unit and immediately fell in love printing 8x10 bright colorful photos that deliver pristine smudge-resistant images with impeccable clarity. It’s easy to transfer print photo albums to a digital library with its scanning capabilities. The printer has the ability for two-sided print/copy//scan/color fax as well. We were impressed with the speed of mobile printing 4x6 images. In less than 12 seconds, we were delivered a crystal clear colorful image. (If you print while you are away, there is a retractable auto-extend paper output tray designed to contain the printed paper). The ability to print double sided color images on plain paper is super fast and there is no drying time needed before handling.
The printer comes with a host of mobile print features, including Email Print (virtual printing from any device), Creative Print (offering the ability to create greeting cards), iPrint (scanning and printing from a smartphone), Remote Print (printing from a computer anywhere in the world), and Scan to Cloud (sharing and scanning photos to an online storage account). When you think you have tried all of the features, be sure to check out the Creative Bonus Templates, which will allow you to print personalized stationery, create a calendar or personalize a graph.
The Expression Premium printer’s built-in Wi-Fi capability is one of its best features offering network-free printing as well as built-in memory card slots and USB slots for PC-free printing. The two-sided printing and high quality scanning up to 4800 dpi capability makes this one of the most efficient printers on the market.
This powerful printer delivers amazing photo quality and has a rear paper feed that supports specialty paper for easy printing. It also offers incredibly fast print speeds of 14 ISO ppm for black and 11 ISO ppm for color. Even better, the eco-friendly features include ENERGY STAR qualified, support of recycled paper and RoHS compliance.
The Expression Premium line up also comes equipped with the Epson Connect suite of free mobile printing solutions, enabling us to edit, scan and share photos directly to Facebook. Be sure to check out the Snapshot blogon the Epson Community for additional information and suggestions for scanning and uploading images to the cloud.
