Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far so good, but have only had it for a short time. Have had bad luck with my last ink jet, only lasted a year. Changed brands to see if a different brand is better. Only time will tell.

Great product color excellent plus love additional paper sent

Difficult to set up, and use. A lot of trouble connecting to internet. Not for beginners.

Stay away from this printer. So, figured this would be a great steal for $59.99! I was wrong. Of course one week outside of Best Buys return policy it stops working. An error message of something is wrong with your scanner keeps popping up. Can't return it due to the 15 day return policy. Called EPSON and no help there either. I upgraded to the ECO Epson printer. We shall see how that goes.

Want i was wanting .works really good with my android phone

Great works well unlike the HP printer i got before HP always has problems cant recommend this one more

Simple aio, and it does exactly what I need. Wifi and bluetooth fetures work great.

Avoid this printer! I purchased the Epson name brand ink cartridges for $50 and only printed about a dozen pages. A few weeks later it I got the message "You need to replace ink cartridge" and it would not let me print. There was no way I was out of ink. If you buy this printer, you will basically be forced to pay $50 a month on ink. Total scam. You will regret this purchase.

Love this printer. Love all the features it has. I would recommend it

Love my printer, fast delivery and very convenient.

Works great. Smaller than our previous printer but has all the bells and whistles we need.

If you want a quickly print it’s ok but for the same price I prefer the canon printer because it have more resolution printing!

Word to the wise. When your cartridges cost more than the printer, do NOT but that brand/model. Such was the case of the Epson for $50 which was needed after Hurricane Ian when I lost everything. This particular Epson lasted for ONLY 2 separate print jobs that I had. And since I did not get the warranty, the "Expression" I have for Epson is more than a sad face!!

After using it for the first time, I printed a total of 50 pages more or less let's say 60. It run out of Ink. Now I'm stuck until I buy bunches of cartridges to keep up the work. I'm contemplating the price, so I may return it since it's brand new, new cartridge came with it.

Such a headache! I really wanted to like this printer, a lot of the time it's okay. But it has jammed so many times it's ridiculous at this point. It's such a headache. The jamming takes so long to reset, wastes paper and ink. It's become a nightmare. I wish I never bought this.

Terrible printer! Paper always loaded and tells me out of paper! Then started to get error code with paper jam! No paper jam but still got the error. Do not buy!!!!!!!!

I usually opt for laser jet printers but needed something to print photos. This printer fit the bill perfectly! The printer is very small and takes up less space on my desk then expected. It was very easy to setup and get working with my android smart phone and windows 11 desktop. I did experience some issues with setting up on my windows 10 laptop, but I don't think its the printer. I would recommend downloading the Epson app for your phone as it walks you through the whole setup process and then you can use the app for printing photos/documents/etc from your phone. I setup my printer on my wifi network so anyone in the family can print to it. There is an option to do a direct wifi connect to the printer, I have not tested that as I don't see a need since its on my network. What I love about this printer: Printing is very quick even pictures Printing pictures look great along with text It does double sided printing, the part I love is that it automatically does it without me having to flip the paper! This is such a great feature and helps reduce paper waste. Some of the things I really like about this printer: Individual ink cartridges so you can easily change the color that's low and not all of them. Compact Size Easy Setup Menu Screen and buttons are easy to use and the menu makes sense and is not overly complicated Android App is easy to use and works seamlessly with the printer Has an auto shutoff that can be adjusted along with sleep mode. Copier has various modes such as ID card, book copy, and borderless copy Things I dislike: I like that it does double sided, but it can be a little slow for the printer to flip the paper. Not a deal breaker but if you are in a rush it might be frustrating. I really do not have anything bad to say about this printer. This is a great printer that is capable of doing all the things a family or college student would need. Since its so easy to setup this would be a great printer for someone who isn't really tech savvy. Plus it looks great on my desk!

It's an okay family printer. It does an ok job printing photo, and it has a flatbed scanner with high enough resolution and color depth to scan and copy all kinds of documents. However, its color accuracy is quite bad, and the cost of ink adds up quickly since the cartridges don't last long. Build Quality This printer has a passable design. The body is made of plastic that feels nice, but the output tray and extender are quite flimsy. The rear paper input also doesn't keep dust from accumulating on your paper. While the scanner lid can stay open on its own, the hinges don't extend to let you scan thicker documents on the flatbed. The printer also needs to be turned on to access the ink cartridges. It’s a compact multipurpose printer that's quite lightweight. This makes it suitable for use in a dorm room or small home office. Display Screen The display is adequate. The buttons around the screen are used to navigate within the menu, and the home button provides a quick exit back to the main display. The buttons are flush on the panel but aren't touch-sensitive, so they need to be pressed. The screen is responsive and easy-to-read when you're looking straight at it. The display panel can swivel up and down for better visibility at different vertical viewing angles; however, it's harder to see clearly when viewing from the sides. Cartridge It has a poor inkjet cartridge system. Its page yield is quite bad, and the printer stops printing entirely if just one-color cartridge runs out. The black page yield is especially terrible, so you'll likely need to change the black cartridge often. On the upside, it has multiple color cartridges, meaning you don't have to replace colors you don't use as often. Scanner Features This printer has mediocre scanner features. Since it doesn't have a sheetfed scanner, you can only scan one side of a single document at a time. On the upside, the scan resolution and color depth should be high enough for most uses. In The Box User manual Starter cartridges 1 - Black 1 - Cyan 1 - Magenta 1 - Yellow Power cable *USB cable not included Cost-Per-Print The cost-per-print is alright. The cartridges don't last very long, but they're also not too expensive, which helps keep the cost-per-print reasonable. That said, the more you print, the more you'll end up spending in total. Also, keep in mind that even if you print only in black, most inkjet printers continue using their color cartridges for servicing tasks, so they'll likely need replacing at some point as well. Printing Speed The printing speed is passable. While the first page of a black-only document doesn't take too long, it can still take a few minutes to print longer documents since the following pages don't come out much faster. The color printing speed is even worse, and you can expect to wait well over a minute for a single 4" x 6" photo. The input tray is also quite small, holding only 100 sheets of paper. Color Accuracy This printer has bad color accuracy. While it's unlikely to be a problem if you just print documents from time-to-time for personal use, it keeps professional documents like business reports from looking their best. Connectivity It has decent connectivity options. You can connect to it wirelessly either via Wi-Fi Direct or by setting it up with your home's wireless router. Mobile App When we tried to connect the printer, it prompted us to use the Epson Smart Panel app. This app is outstanding. It allows you to print many file types and scan documents directly to your phone. You can also check the printer's ink levels, initiate routine maintenance tasks like print-head cleaning, and order more ink, which is quite convenient.

The Epson Expression Home Printer XP4200 is just that: a decent at home printer with a (very) small footprint, which renders pictures and text clearly and fast. I will skip over the unboxing as there's really not much to tell: it's a box with a printer in it, along with a power cord and some documentation. There are also 4 (CMYK) cartridges of ink to start printing right away. Considering the size of the cartridges, we'll have to assume that they won't last and that printing could get costly over time. Setup was a breeze, but the time it took to initialize the unit, to calibrate the print heads and to get it on the network took a good half hour. Just be ready to wait a bit. Get yourself a hot cup of coffee. Let's have a closer look at the size of the printer as it amazed me quite a bit. It's barely longer and wider than a letter sized sheet of paper. The secret to the compact size is in the many little rails and tracks and flaps which can be folded in and out to accomodate your work space and what you want to print. Very nice engineering. To connect your computer or tablet or phone, you have options such as WIFI, USB and Direct. There's at least one way that will work for you. The controls are straightforward and clear. The companion app is informative and nicely done. As you can see on the picture I posted with my review, the prints are clean, no bleeding, no soaked spots. The colors could be a little more vibrant, but that may also simply be the paper, as I printed on plain paper to see how it would look for most people. Frankly, there aren't many bad things to say about this Epson printer. If I was a nag, I would point out that the printer is a bit on the light side and that the plastic doesn't look very sturdy. I haven't encountered any major issues and I believe it's a good printer as long as you don't plan on using it everyday or to print a lot. The XP4200 is a simple, quiet and fast printer for your home and family, in a very compact package. Recommended.

The Epson XP-4200 printer is a new all-in-one (AIO) wireless printer geared towards the home user. It has the features I’d expect in an AIO – copy, scan, and print capabilities. The printer is an inkjet, and it uses multi-tank CMYK cartridges. The XP-4200 comes in an all-black finish with a glossy top and matte sides. This printer is a little larger (taller) than other AIO’s I have interacted with for reasons I’m not quite sure of. There is no paper feed tray on the 4200, which I would have expected to cut down the size. There’s also no secondary input tray for scans/copies. Its not overly large, but without those features I expected it to be a little thinner. The large control panel has a smooth glossy surface. The buttons appear to look like surface touch buttons, but they have a physical click/indent that registers the button push. The panel itself can angle up to make it easier to read/interact. The rear paper feeder holds up to 100 sheets and adjusts the width from 8.5” down to 2”. The output tray slides out from the bottom and is wide and long enough to comfortable support your prints. The scanner/copier bed is on top and just has a simple hinged. Scans/copies are done one sheet at a time, but the software does allow you to do doublesided copies. This is a WiFi only model, so there is no port for directly cabling to a computer or network device. Setup for the printer was straightforward, but like most things required an app (Epson Smart Panel). Total time to install and set things up seemed to take a decent amount of time. I didn’t run into any issues with setup or install, but it felt like it took anywhere from 15-30min to fully complete the setup and calibration process. Going through the app everything was recognized quickly, and without any hassle. Same goes for setting it up on my PC, which is wired to my network. I downloaded the software, installed it, and the printer was detected right away. This took all of 5 minutes to complete. It is made to sit on your network and not be tethered to any devices. The printer uses an older WiFi N network card, but that shouldn’t matter since network throughput is sort of irrelevant on a printer. With its network setup you can print from any device on the network uses the standard desktop app, or you can print remotely with the mobile app. You also have the option to email print jobs to the printer via a unique email address. You can also scan from the printer and have it sent directly to your phone which makes document transferring easier (no more scan to the computer, email to yourself, open the email on your phone, and download). Printing a normal text document on 8.5 x 11 paper was straightforward. The printer has some vibration to it, but not too bad. It rolls through a single side quicker than expected, so that was nice. I did a doublesided print for the fun of it. I was actually really surprised at how well it did. With AIO’s I am used to having to flip the paper over manually and then restart the print job. With the 4200 it pulls the paper back in, takes it through some rollers to flip it, and then prints it back out. Maybe 15 seconds to print a sheet doublesided. I now understand why the 4200 is a little taller than expected – that doublesided flipping must need a little extra space. Scanning images directly to my phone was easy to setup an navigate. The max scanning resolution is 1200 DPI, so you get a decent image, and it works well for photo scanning even. Copy input resolution maxes out at 600 x 600 DPI but can print up to 720 x 720. For text docs, the copy setting works just fine. Images start to get a little grainy though, so it might be best to scan an image, and then print it (separating the operation seems to give sharper results). Printing resolution tops out at 5760 x 1440 dpi, which can yield a fairly sharp image. I printed 4 x 6” and 5 x 7’s that turned out looking just as nice as those printed on my HP photo printer. I also did an 8 x 10 for each of my kids school pics and those looked great as well. I did all the prints on premium glossy photo paper – a mix of Epson and HP photo papers. Printer speed was OK. I’m used to laser printer speed, but I know inkjets runs a bit slower. This printer does 10ppm for text/B&W, and does 5ppm for color. Pictures are pretty slow – 4 x 6’s took about 30-40s to print on the high quality setting. My main concern with this printer going forward is the CMYK tank setup. I haven’t used an Epson printer before, but I have used Canon’s and Brother’s with the tank setup like this. They both had similar drawbacks. Like if the yellow was low the printer would block me from printing a black text document. Things like that. I haven’t looked into this behavior in awhile, but I do recall it being a very widespread issue that has always felt very anti-customer. The other issue is if you only print black and white, the printers use color ink in order to make the black “richer” or to get grayscale. This wastes ink in my opinion as I would rather save the color for color prints, and I don’t care if my black text looks dull. The best way around this for me is to have a color laser printer for my main printer, and to utilize the inkjet for photos and when nicer graphics are needed on a printout (school projects and whatnot). My other concern revolves around the rear paper feed. I have a very fluffy dog that scatters his fur everywhere. I am concerned with fur/dust/whatever landing or settling in this open slot and getting the print head dirty. My plan is to keep the tray empty unless I am printing, and to set something over the top to keep the fur/dust out. This could have been avoided with a pullout paper tray, but they may have affected other mechanical operations/reliabilty. Either way, it’s a tradeoff to consider. Overall I do think this is a nice printer setup. The print speed and quality is up to snuff and the doublesided feature is neat. The scanner provides a clear image, and the software to run it seems to work well. The app looks pretty good and it’s easy to use for even the least tech savvy individuals. The lack of the print tray and the multi-color tank are areas to look out for. Replacement cartridges aren’t outrageously priced – 20 for black, 20 for the all the colors, or each color is 7 individually. Just don’t let the tanks dry out by printing a couple times a month – I’ve wasted a lot of ink over the years by not doing this.
