I love the printer. Love being able to print labels on my CD's and DVD's that I create. Quality good. A little temperamental about connecting to wifi sometimes. Some heavier papers don't pick up as well as I would like, but then it is not a high end priced printer either.

Picture quality is fabulous. It's a little smaller than I'm used to having but worth the money. Love the Bluetooth option as well...can print directly from my phone.

A lot better than my XP-970. Speed and quality are great.

Does an excellent job for the intended purpose: Beautiful, accurate photo printing. Sharp, clear, crisp. Regular printing is as perfect and precise. Control panel is exactly as it should be: USER FRIENDLY. No forest of micro step confusions and indeciferable instructions to get a job done. Perfect size, looks and fits just right, not a big obtrusive box, commandeering of space. Makes any kind of printing job a pleassnt experience.

This printer is a spectacular value, particularly if you need a high-end photo printer. I'm taking a digital photography class and we use Epson P800 and P900 photo printers which hover in the $1000 range. They can handle larger formats and rolls of paper which the XP-8700 does not, however I don't need that feature and the print quality is nearly identical . The high-end printers use 10 ink cartridges and the XP-8700 uses six, however I've compared and identical output sent to both printers and side-by-side you cannot tell the difference. The DPI and color depth is virtually identical. This product is a fantastic buy for the money.
