Epson - Expression Premium XP-630 All-In-One Printer - Black

I wanted to get a printer that was dual sided and wi-fi able. This printer does both well, however the wi-fi is much slower than my older printer, with the exact same setup. Having to have the tray pulled out in order to print is a bit of a hassle, especially if you are printing from another room or remotely via the internet. Keeping it open subjects it to a lot of dust and other possible damage, plus it looks nicer closed. I did try to print a photo, which came out badly, but my photo paper was really old and was most likely the problem. I have not yet tried with new photo paper. Overall, the price shows what kind of a printer it is. It is a good printer with a few flaws, but well worth the price paid. I am happy with my purchase.

I'm going to preface this by mentioning that I haven't tried the "quiet" feature of this printer yet, but I'm not sure that would end up helping out. Printer set-up was easy to follow and I love how little room this printer takes up compared to my old one. I'm also super happy about the wireless features, which my old didn't have. This one was recommended for me at the store and hasn't disappointed. I've done a few test prints since I got the printer, both regular prints and photos. There's some great quality pictures coming out of this, which I love because it'll be great for my photography. I also love that I can print onto DVDs...now I just need to find some that will print properly! Epson's site is easy to navigate and replenishing looks like it will be a breeze for ink and paper. My only real complaint so far is that when paper got jammed (it was my fault- I was using the cardboard sheet at the back of the photo paper, which I thought was an actual sheet) the printer complained LOUDLY. As in, loud enough that I took a few steps back, worrying it might blow up at me. It's loud and lasts a long time, with no way to stop it until the paper is finished jamming. There are only two other thing I'm not a fan of. First is that I have to open the output tray manually every time I want to print something. I thought I saw somewhere that it would do it automatically, but even if I didn't real that, I was kind of hoping it would... pulling it out every time is pretty annoying. Second is how flimsy both paper input trays feel. When I first popped them in and out again I worried I was going to break them, especially the top one because it pushes in farther than it needs to, and then you have to wiggle it back out to get it to the right spot. I'll get used to it over time but I would have preferred them to feel a bit more secure.

Overall this printer is a good preformer. It's main down side is the printer's touchscreen interface and fussy programming that adds an extra degree of complication to routine things. For instance, with my old printer (an HD 5600) if I wanted to print a delivery address on an envelope, all I had to do was place the envelop on the paper tray, hold it to the right side, and press the print button. With the new Epson you need to completely pull out its paper tray/drawer, remove all the paper from it, adjust it's rails to fit the envelope, put the tray/drawer back in, then go to the printer's touchscreen and tell it to recognize the new paper size, and THEN you can press print. Another difference: changing the ink cartridges is more involved too. With the old HP, you just pop the hood, pull out the spent cartridge, slip in a fresh one, and close the hood. With the Epson you literally have to ask your machine permission to change the ink first using the touchscreen, otherwise you can't get the ink carriage in the right position to get its cartridges out at all. These annoyances aside, the Epson is good printer, delivering fast, crisp printouts. What's more, Epson is good about making it easy and reasonably inexpensive to get buy new ink cartridges (free shipping is nice), which is a smart move on Epson's part.

The Epson 630 is an easy to install/easy to use economical printer for the beginner or advance PC user. When this printer is on sale, it can't be beat for price/performance; just load (ink cartridges and paper) and go. When used with Windows operating systems that automatically detect new hardware and bring in required software drivers, there is nothing for the user to do to install this wireless printer. I have to admit that I was skeptical about the use of wireless equipment because of signal drops in wireless networks. However, so far (one month of continual use), I haven't had any problems with printing with the Epson 630 unit. I can easily recommend it to anyone who has concerns about budget-busting outlays for computer equipment.

I purchased this printer to replace an Epson Artisan 730 which had gotten damaged during a move. My main reason for the purchase was it's CD printing capability. It is a little cumbersome the way the cd tray works but it gets the job done beautifully. An added bonus for me was the scanner. I purchased an Epson scanner a few months ago and if I had know that the quality of the scanner in the XP-630 was just as good, I would not have purchased that other scanner. It works well wirelessly too. The overall wireless setup went well on a Windows 10 machine. Overall a great purchase.

This printer is easy to set up wireless connection even has an app for hand held device printing which is pretty neat. The colors are true to the image being printed, the warm up time is typical in about a minute it is ready to print. Everything else is as expected with today's ink jet printers, nothing extraordinary, ink refills etc. are quite standard. One thing that I am disappointed is you manually need to extend the catch tray before printing and manually slide it back once finished. But for the price a bit of inconvenience is to be expected. One last observation: we have purchased our last three printers since the cost of the new printer with ink is equal to or just higher than purchasing a full line of ink cartridges. What a country!

I bought this printer for light office use and photo printing and so far it has worked out great. Photo quality is excellent with sharp, vibrant looking images. Printer and network set up was quick and easy. It contains 3 trays total, 2 paper loading trays and 1 to hold your outgoing prints. My only complaint is the positioning of the outgoing tray as it hides behind the control panel on the front of the printer. During every print the control panel must be lifted, the tray gets pulled out, then hide it back in when done. ***The device will not print unless this is done. You will get an alert on the screen to do this. Aside from that minor nuisance I would definitely recommend it to others.

I'm moving from the HP printers to this Epson - really easy installation, immediately recognized the wireless system and printed wirelessly from my phone without even thinking about it! More difficult to replace the ink cartridges than my old Canon and in the end was not sure I did it correctly - required more messing about to get it to accept them. also a bit less intuitive when you are using the various commands on the screen - sometimes confusing about when to push OK and when to push the move ahead button. But prints are good and connectivity is good, the most important points.
