You get what you pay for sometimes less the ink is expensive and doesn’t last

Standard ink 232 cartridges does not have enough ink! Can not print with only black cartridge even for black only!

It just didnt fit my needs. It was hard to set up for me

No option for 0 stars. Ink doesn’t last and prints are terrible. But at least it is really slow and hard to use. This is a throw away printer. Please look elsewhere and save yourself the hassle.

The description says networking. You can't network without an ethernet port which this one doesn't have. That is false advertisement.

The ink down very fast in about two weeks and it’s not very economical to bay ink every weeks

Never worked. I left sitting in box 2 long. They would not return.

Do not buy piece of junk didn’t last three month. Not good

The Epson Expression XP-4200 All in One printer is a good choice for an everyday printer. Setup is quick and easy using the Epson Smart Panel app. For me, the most difficult part was opening the included print cartridges. Each is sealed separately. There are 4 cartridges - black, cyan, magenta & yellow. Epson documentation stresses the importance of using genuine Epson ink cartridges. Evidently, third party cartridges may not work. Interestingly, when opening the top to insert the ink cartridges, you have to make sure the “bracket” is in place to hold the scanner open. This is somewhat like the bar you insert in the hole to hold your automobile’s hood open, but you don't have to insert this - it is built in. I’ve never seen that before. Because of this, when you lift the scanner it doesn’t open very far, so not a lot of light is allowed inside. I found this to be inconvenient when attempting to insert the ink cartridges. Also to close the scanner, you have to lift it up then let it down until it stops then lift it up again and lower it the rest of the way. This printer doesn't have a normal paper tray. There is a rear feed slot to put what seems liked maybe 20 maximum sheets of blank paper. I found that I had to add paper often. When printing, the paper feeds from the back and prints out the front. Conveniently, you are able to print 2 sided if you choose which saves paper. This printer does not have an auto sheet-feeder for copying, so it's one sheet at a time. Copying is relatively quick and the quality is good. Printing is fairly quick for both text and photos. I found the quality of printed text to be good. I don't have photo paper on hand, but I did have the occasion to print photos on 8-1/2x11 plain paper. I printed it on "best" quality and it looks really nice with good detail. I was extremely surprised. Back to the The Epson Smart Panel app. Not only does it help with setup, it also gives up to date info on the printer such as ink levels, status, you can customize the display font and more. When printing photos, this app allows you to adjust many settings including paper size, type of paper, numerous layout choices, you can include the print date and more. There are a lot of things that can be done within the app including creatively. It is definitely worth checking out. It's quite impressive. So my feelings on this printer were mixed. The 2.4" display is color but it is not a touch screen; the lack of a large paper tray is inconvenient; and that bracket to hold up the scanner. However, the setup is super easy; the print quality is very good; the Epson Smart Panel app is so useful; the print speed is good; and it has a small footprint. So much good here! For me, this Epson Expression XP-4200 All in One is a keeper.

Wouldn’t know how well it works. It took forever to calibrate. After an hour of inspecting and resetting and trying again, I thought it was ready only to find out the black ink arrived empty.

All i did was printing 32 pages and the printer was out of ink , extremely slow and colors is so chubby

worst product. After some time, the ink in the printer becomes dry. They do not print well. .

Ink runs out to quick black and the color ………………..

The ink finish too quick.. I don't like it at all I will return it back.

The printer did not come with useful operational instructions. We (senior citizens) went back to Best Buy Allentown. It was so bad that the agent could not explain how to operate the printer. I returned printer.

Worked for like a couple of months then broke down. It doesn’t print words clearly either

None of the controls work. I press the screen to start a function and nothing happens. I went to trouble shoot and it was a blank. Copy, nothing. VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED.

Sorry I bought this printer. It was difficult to set up and the print is faint. I have always had HP printers and I find they function much better for my needs.

This printer was a mistake, soI returned. Hard to understand instructions and difficult to use.

After firmware upgrade cant print now. Says does not recognize ink. Epson is bad always trying to push more ink purchases on you
