Customer Ratings & Reviews

worst printer ever. bought one, returned it because it didn't work. replacement is slow. loud. won't print black and white without the color ink full. low quality print compared to my canon.

Since I am not very “tech-savvy”, I am always a little nervous when it comes to setting up new devices in my home office. However, the set-up for the Epson XP-970 was fairly straight forward after I found a place to put it. The Printer/Scanner/Copier was wider than my current printer, 18 ½”W x 14”D, but since it was wireless (bonus!) didn’t need to sit right next to my laptop. The process to install the color ink cartridges and adjust them correctly took about 10 minutes. Then adding this printer to my computer via wireless wi-fi was easy as well. There are several connectivity options: Ethernet, wi-fi, or you can connect directly to your PC with USB cable (not included). There are two paper trays for various sizes of paper. Neither tray holds a large amount of paper so this isn’t a machine for massive print/production jobs, but suits someone like me who has a home office. The screen on the front is bright and readable and has onscreen helps if you need assistance in how to perform a function. On to the good stuff! I was impressed by how vivid the photograph output was. With no enhancements to the photographs, they looked like amazing. The colors were true and accurate, and the speed of printing was relatively short. I also printed some other business forms that I had previously been producing in black and white and they look so much more professional on a color printer. I also took the time to connect the printer to my Android phone via my home network. Viola! I was able to print a photo from my phone as well. That’s a feature I will definitely use. Now, for couple of drawbacks. The printer is a tad bit noisy for my liking and not just during printing. I didn’t realize that it had a sleep function, until I had left on and jumped when it started making noise to put it to sleep. In addition, as stated before, I wish the paper trays were deeper and held more paper, but it does accommodate larger format images. If anyone with a home office is in the market for a larger format color printer, I think they would be well served by this model.

I really hate to say it but I’m not impressed at all. It’s a lot louder when it prints than what I’m used to. It’s already messed up 4 -6 print jobs and just isn’t as user friendly as the printers I’ve had and used unfortunately.
