Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this printer to replace my home office printer, but mainly for printing photos for scrapbooking, memory albums, etc. I am absolutely shocked and happily surprised by the quality of the photos this printer produces on Epson’s Premium Glossy Photo Paper. I am not a professional photographer by any means, but it is apparent that the photos are markedly better quality than those you could have printed by a retailer (e.g CVS). The printer itself is very user-friendly and easy to install/connect wirelessly within my network. The digital touch screen is definitely a nice feature as well. In terms of ink supply, i currently have 40-60% left of each cartridge. This is after printing at least 125 photos (4x6) and 150+ (Letter size) pages in full color. Though, I have yet to replace any of the 6 cartridges, I love how they can be replaced individually at ~$10/color. This printer was one of the best purchases I’ve made in years. I highly recommend it to anyone who is needing a photo printer for personal use/crafting!

Really like this printer. A great combination of speed, quality, features, price and ongoing costs. The photos printed are very good quality - better than any other All-In-One inkjet I’ve seen. I’ve also used it to make great looking greeting cards and flyers. It was easy to setup, including the WiFi. I’ve owed HP printers in the past and the ink cost is astronomical. They have also had a multitude of issues. I have now owed two Epson printers and have been very pleased with them. I will never buy another HP.

It's the smallest printer I've had in years; but it's still very good (especially for its cost). It supports all of my needs (copying, scanning, text printing, printing of graphics, and some photo printing - although I have a larger and much more expensive printer for most of my photos). Plus I like the option of feeding special paper via the top slot. Note: I don't use the wifi option.

For a reasonably inexpensive printer, this printer does an excellent job of printing documents and, more importantly for me, printing images. I am a photographer and I really like the results I am getting from this new printer! And did I mention how quiet it is...Very!

I have been using epsom all in ones for many years now and what can I say... they’ve never let me down and the print quality is superb. The print and scan quality continues to improve as does the ease of use. Love my Epsons!

This is a compact awesome printer, I love it, photos best I have ever seen. I had to send the first one back, but Epson was awesome with the return, and sent me another one. I love the size of it also!

easy to use nice printer for photos. Ink can get used up quick depending on how much you use it. But you can buy which ever carts you need at the time.

Quality product. Great photos. Documents good too.

Great printer. Love the size, it can sit on my desk without taking up a lot of room. My 4x6 pictures turned out sharp and bright.

What a great printer and so small foot print. Excellent quality. Great.

Great for paper printing and photo printing and easy to refill ink

No problems with this bad boy. Mileage will vary. Been using Epson for many years professionally and still happy. I do have this covered with a cloth cover so as to keep dust out. That's a big killer...

Haven't used all the features yet on my new Epson XP-8500, but so far prefer my old Epson XP-950, which parts are no longer available. I need a printer/scanner that prints nice looking photos, and will hold up to a lot of use.

Easy to setup, and works as desired. Simple Cd printing. Probably costs a little more in ink than desirable, but worth it for printing small numbers of CDs / DVDs.

I bought this for my wife & we have printed out at least 150 pictures we love this photo printer.

Great if you need a small printer to fit in your office space, and makes beautiful pictures.

Needed a photo printer at work for occasional photo printing and this one had pretty good reviews. Goes through ink fast but it's expected for a photo printer.

This printer is fantastic for the price. Prints very clear and the colors are great for reprinting pictures.

Unless you enjoy saying UUUGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!! every print do not buy! - Print quality is very good on Epson paper. Horrible on waterproof photo paper or waterproof label paper. - CARTRIDGES CAN ONLY BE BOUGHT AT EPSON ONLINE. - Epson cant even keep the cartridges in stock. - Every 20 prints cleans the print head wasting ink! - Cartridges are registered empty with a fair amount of ink left inside. - looses connection if you stop printing for 10 minutes. every time it looses connection you have to turn it off and restart the printer. - takes 3 minutes to power down and sometimes freezes in the process.

All-In-One printer that does not take up much space. Ideal for small spaces. Half the size of the other printer I own. This printer was easy to set up. I would suggest using plain paper for set up. It uses a few sheets of paper to complete. Easy to connect to Wi-fi. This printer comes with a CD to install, which I worried about since I own a laptop, but have no fear, the printer can be connected to your PC via USB (not included or noted on the box). But I noticed when I sent prints from my phone, no printer was listed. Download the apps necessary (such as Epson Connect/iPrint) to print wirelessly if you run into this issue. No issues after that. You can also assign an email address to your printer so you can print from anywhere! This printer requires several ink but they are reasonably priced. Expect high quality photos with no lines or smudges. I’ll be able to avoid trips to the store to print now! I like that the printer comes with different tray sizes, so I am not limited on what I can print. Overall, this printer is impressing, especially because of it’s size and the quality of prints! This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo XP-8500 All-in-One Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.
