I just installed the Epson Expression Home XP-4200 Color Inkjet in my home “office”, and I have to say I’m impressed with this small but capable All-in-One printer. The quick-start instructions are pretty much what you would expect, but the Epson Smart Panel app for Apple or Android smartphones used to set up the printer is world class. I installed the app on an Apple SE (iOS 15.6.1) and used it to finish the setup process including linking the printer to the Wi-Fi network. The app took on the appearance of a series of text messages and graphics telling me exactly what it was doing and what I should do next. Once the printer install completed, the app provided full control of the printer. The app has all the features you get from the PC software. The Epson driver and software install on a Windows 10 PC went just as smoothly. There is also an USB connection available. The unit has a 2.4” full color display, but it is not a touchscreen. Menu navigation is handled by using the adjacent keyboard. Epson supplies a complete suite of scanning and printing software. The ScanSmart app produced a sharp, color restored, scan of a 5x7” photo at 1600 dpi in 2.75 minutes. Not the fastest scan time, but still respectable for a feature rich, low priced All-in-One. The printer also has automatic double-sided printing. There is no document feeder, single documents a placed on the scanner glass. Paper is loaded in the upper back of the printer and can handle U.S. and European paper up to legal and A4. The scanner software has special settings for scanning id cards and bound books. Print quality is excellent. The “Clarina” ink used in this printer provides vivid, water-resistant output, something I tested on mixed text and graphics on standard inkjet paper. There was absolutely no smudging of the printing when wiped with a moistened tissue. Amazing! For me, color inkjet printers are best suited to printing photographs and other graphics. The XP-4200 exceeded my expectations when printing a photograph on Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper. I had outstanding results when printing a bright, color intense 5x7” photo using the printer driver’s standard settings. The maximum print density for photos is 5760 x 1440 dpi, something you don’t find on many low-cost inkjet printers. The one feature I found to be helpful, but somewhat restrictive, is the limited opening allowed when lifting the scanner bed to install ink cartridges. The Epson engineers provided a plastic arm to hold the scanner bed open – much like the rod you use to hood open the hood of your car – but it has a positive stop and can only be opened about 5”. It is enough to provide access to the ink cartridges but seems a bit restrictive. To avoid damage to the arm, proper opening and closing of the scanner bed is important, but not immediately intuitive. I am guessing the arm will be the first thing I break. Ignoring the just mentioned concern, I would recommend this printer to anybody looking for a quality, low cost, multifunction, color inkjet printer. With only a few days of use I do not know how the printer will fair over the long haul, but there is a one year warranty and unlimited telephone support by Epson.

I can’t get it to print. Been trying since I purchased it.

It is difficult to set up and does not acknowledge wifi

this is a very nice printer. It's compact and fits on a small desk if neeeded. It was a little difficult to set up at first because my phone and the printer wouldn't communicate with each other. Once that issue was resolved, it connected fine. The screen looks like a touch screen but it isn't which is a little odd. The front panel flips out if you want or it can stay flat, which I like because it makes the printer look better. It can use legal or letter size paper. I haven't tried other sizes or envelopes yet. The quality is really nice. There are two things I don't like. This printer, when you set it up is very noisy. However, I was able to make it quiet by changing a setting. I think it should be quiet right out of the box. You can also use this printer with an assistant like Google or Siri. I haven't tried that feature yet but I did find out you have to have a seprate app for that feature. I'm not sure why they just couldn't include it in the main app that you download when you setup the printer. Maybe they will in the future. So far this printer has been a nice unit. I'm looking forward to exploring other features to see what it can do.

Having never owned or used an Epson printer before, I was quite interested in trying out Epson's XP-4200 All-In-One color printer. It turned out to be quite acceptable especially at this price point! The Epson XP-4200 was eady to set up and its software works well. I did have to move the printer closer to my internet router to get it to connect to my network but found I was able to move it back to my office once set up and it works very well there. The Epson print quality is quite clear and crisp and it does take a bit slower than other printers I have used. I also found the printer to be somewhat louder when printing than what I am used to. While the printer does not had a thumb drive to scan documents to, scans can be saved to your computer to file, print or attach to an email or text as needed. This printer provides borderless photo printing, Wi-Fi and voice activated printing and auto two-sided printing as needed. Paper for the printer is loaded vertically in a slot in the rear of the printer and ink cartridges are easily accessable for changing as needed. The printer can also be used as a copier. This is a fine printer for the money!

The Epson Expression Home XP-4200 is a good personal printer. The set up is very easy, with instructions included in the box and using the Epson Smart Panel app makes its fool proof. Before you get started though, make sure you choose the Epson Smart Panel app and not the Epson iPrint app, I made that mistake when going on the Play Store. The Smart Panel app is the current version and the iPrint is the old version. Wi-fi connection setup can be done either through the app or the control panel on the printer. Its a 3-in-1 so you're getting a Printer, Copier, and Scanner in a compact machine that doesn’t take up alot of desk space. The control panel is nice, with a screen that isn't small or hard to read and it uses actual buttons. It is an inkjet so be ready to buy some ink, the catridges are small so you'll get about 150pages before needing to reload, which is great for at-home workers or students, but that might be bad for anyone that prints alot. The print quality is great with no smudges or blurring. The only issue I have with the printer is that it doesn't come with a USB A to B cable to directly connect the printer to a PC, its a wireless printer so the cable isn’t necessary, but would be nice to have one just in case. Overall, I like the Epson Expression Home XP-4200, its a solid workhorse printer, that is great for personal use.

Price is good for all it functions it has, easy to install and easy to use, but the cons i got is that to use all of its functions you must download the software rather than providing a Cd with the software and they also dont provide the cable for it, i only found out because i was seeing on the box that they didnt provide the cable.

Love using it for stickers and other DIY projects. And love the customer service from my go to Best Buy store, always there to help me with my needs.

I got this printer as a gift. Couldn't set it up because it wouldn't go beyond the ink installation. Told me over and over the black ink was empty. Bought a replacement and still had the issue. Might be a decent printer if you don't get this issue but, I don't even want to bother with a replacement. I returned it.

The printer/scanner is loaded with useful features such as being able to print when away from home via email, google classroom integration and sharing your printer with a friend/family member. The display on the printer is really sharp and clear , it could be a bit bigger but it works and the controls are responsive with very little lag. The scanned documents come out really nice and it captures a lot of the detail of what it is scanning. The app for the printer is also full of features , such as scanning documents directly to your phone/tablet. The amount of features that are included with the printer are amazing and if all of them were done correctly it would be one of the best personal printers. All of the features stated above are great and they work perfectly , however there are certain things that need to be fixed. Any pictures you print through the app print out grainy , speaking of photos not text, and it doesn’t matter what quality you state or which paper you use (I used Espon premium photo paper and normal white paper). However if you print the same picture without the app it comes out great, the colors are rich and very close to how the picture was actually taken. The printer/scanner works great and connects easily to any computer on the same Wi-Fi network and was a breeze to set up via Wi-Fi or by connecting it directly to the computer. I did run into an issue when setting it up on my phone through the app and the app kept saying it wasn’t connected but it actually was. Overall i think it does a great job at printing text and scanning documents which is what it is made for but the features that are included/provided need to be fixed with a software update.

Love the printer. Works very well and it's not hard to use.
