My Take on the Printer

This printer for me is one that has given me amazing photo quality prints, and seeing that I take a ton of photos, this is definitely a plus.

Even though I mentioned photos, I would definitely be remiss to not mention that I also have printed many other documents, papers, etc. With all of these I have been impressed with the speed of the printing.

I will remind all of you, this is a smaller printer, so you will not be able to hold large volumes of paper in the printer itself. Instead, you will have to allow yourself to use this for smaller jobs or place additional paper in it when needed. There is also a manual feed option which is nice when printing on paper that is different than what you have loaded. On top of this there is even a special tray for printing labels on CD’s (I found this to be very unique).

The printing of graphics or full color slides have provided me with quality output. You do get some small distortion, but none that would be noticeable by most. For me one of the best components with this printer had to be the quality you get when printing photos. Many times you do not get fully saturated images when printing yourself, but in all instances here I found that the images were fully saturated and some great contrast. To be honest, some of the prints I printed with this are even better than those I get from printing them at local stores which says a lot about quality in general.

Finally, this printer is small which for many will be a great selling point as you will not need the space that many multi function printers require. I had no problem fitting this into a smaller section under my computer and it fit perfectly!

All-in-all, I am very impressed with the overall quality of the Epson XP-810 printer and look forward to continuing to try it out over the days and weeks to come!

My Take on the Printer

I have been using the Epson XP-810 printer over the last few weeks and thus far I have been very impressed with the overall quality of the printer itself as well as the quality of the prints that I am getting from the printer.

My Take on This Printer

I have been using this printer over the last week and have to say that I am thoroughly impressed. I have tried Epson printers in the past and have found them to be very reliable and the quality to be top notch. This printer definitely improves upon the printing speed that I have seen with the Epson printers in the past and with the large capacity printing that this provides, you will be covered no matter if it is a large or small print job that you have on the radar.

Setting up this printer was a breeze, and even coordinating the wireless options between my different computers was simple and I had no problems with wireless printing from different areas within my home (which is great for the family that may be trying to print from different area or floors within the same house).

The scanning quality was high and I found that the image that I received after scanning was one that all could read with no problems.

Also, as someone who is frugal I am always looking for printers that will save me money, and I have found with this printer that it has some nice features that will allow me to do this. I love the two sided printing and while I have yet to see my overall electric bill, if the 50% saving is what really comes to pass I will be very impressed and happy with these results.

The printer states that you should be able to get about five reams of paper out of the ink cartridges which is pretty good. I know that some of the stores do have larger capacity cartridges that should be able to extend this even further into the future too.

The printer is a bit heavier than some other printers that I have had, but I will attribute this to the extra functions that it provides you as a consumer.

The printer comes in a very well protected box (somewhat too protected in my opinion). The company has painstakingly made sure that all parts are taped down, so definitely make sure to find all of this nd remove before using the printer for the first time.

One other item that was very cool was EPSON Connect, which allows you to wirelessly print from any and all of your tech toys. This is something that I appreciated as the computer that I usually use is not connected to this printer, and what that means is usually I have to save something on a flashdrive, bring it to a connected computer and then print it, or connect the flashdrive into the printer itself and then print. All of this usually leads to frustration and making me downright fed up with the whole process. Not anymore! This printer and the EPSON Connect technology makes printing easy, and now wherever I am in my home I can print to the printer which is AWESOME!

All-in-all I was impressed with the quality of this printer and what it provides the consumer. I see this as a great fit for a small (not high volume printing) office or for a small to medium sized family. Note that you will need to have the room for this printer as it is larger than a typical desktop printer and with that in mind you have to verify that you have the space and data connections available to make this work for all that will come in contact with it.

My Take on This Printer

This was an amazing printer that can do pretty much anything that you ask it to do. I’ve tried many different printers in my day but this one has many benefits that the others did not. Below you will see a few videos with my perspectives on this but here I want to say first and foremost that the paper capacity alone is something that is a huge benefit that most printers will not afford you.

On top of all this you have a printer that is easy-to-use and provides high quality beautiful images in the printing itself. So no matter whether you are printing off brochures, documents, photos or anything else you can rest assured that you will receive high-quality in return.

Finally, I am always looking for products that will save me money, and this printer claims to save on printing expenses. I have only used this for a few months now and I have found that the printer tends to save quite a bit on ink and I have not had to overspend or overbuy for what I have not needed. Only time will tell whether this savings continues and whether it lasts longer than some other printers that I have had in the past. If it does live up to expectation, I don’t know if I’ll ever replace this printer unless I have to.

If you are looking for a great machine that can do a little bit of everything look no further than this Epson All-in-One Machine, you will not be disappointed!
