Epson Expression Home XP-4205 Wireless Color Printer with Scanner and Copier, Automatic 2-sided printing

Husband needed a new printer for his business, the old one suddenly stopped working. He called and asked me to find him one. He was surprised when I told him Walmart could deliver one right away. I had them deliver it the next morning, delivery was on time and it took him about 1/2 to get it up and running. This printer works great plus as the added feature of being a scanner, which will be a big help for him. Very happy with the print job it does, it is clear. The price was very good!

This printer was easy to set up. The printer can scan at great resolutions. The printer has a touch display and everything just simply works. This is the thing that makes this printer shine. You don't need to connect it to a computer. Just connect it to the wifi and you can print from your phone , tablet , PC or any device.

I replaced my 12 year old Epson XP320 with this WIRELESS printer. I'm 68 years old and somewhat technology challenged and was fearful of the set up of my new XP-4205. I found the set up easy after downloading the Epson app. Instructions were easy to follow. The XP-4205 is very affordable and the ink replacement cartridge cost are less than other brands, all making this the solution for seniors for home use. All the features of printing, scanning, copying are simple to use by following the prompts on the screen. I would recommend this product to anyone for home use.

There are no clear directions to the user in a printed form. The use of the program in the printer is not completely clear. I would help to have a physical printed owners manual. The quality of the functions once one figures out how to perform them is excellent. There is an on device menu but is not straight forward/user friendly.

At first glance I thought this was a great printer! Than I used it, one month in I’m already replacing ink, not one but, all four! Than, I’d do a test page, second mistake! This really was upsetting! As you can see I printed the test page and look at the levels of ink!? Some almost a third gone and didn’t even do anything besides an install! Before anyone thinks this was knock off ink, nope! This was in fact genuine Epson ink that I spent $68 on TWO separate packages, one color, one black! Insane with a world of fill able cartridges, other ink providers, many ink providers. You’d think Epson would create a product that was sustainable! This is just a large paperweight now that I wouldn’t pass off to my worst enemy! Stay away from this ink guzzling monster! Get yourself something that’s worth the money! Oh, and for the love of god, turn off updates! If you don’t, you’ll never be able to use an off brand ink! The little microchip in these son of a guns won’t recognize the ink and that $30 dollars you thought you were saving becomes another trip to the landfill!

up until last week I would have recommended this item without hesitation. however, Epson released a new firmware update that restricts The product to only using genuine Epson ink, which is considerably more expensive than aftermarket options. I printed 85 pages of text ... No large graphics ... That 85 pages ate the entire set of starter cartridges plus part of a set of aftermarket cartridges that worked until the fateful firmware update. I reached out to Epson support, and the response told me that they do not care about their customers ... they only care about the almighty dollar. there was no empathy or compassion - or even active listening to my complaint - provided by their support staff. their only reply was (paraphrasing) 'use genuine Epson ink or don't use your printer' ... they could have AT LEAST shown empathy. not including the cost of the aftermarket cartridges, My cost aggregates to 71 cents per printed page. for anyone on low/fixed income, This is not an affordable option!

Having trouble using scanner, I could not get it to scan after using instructions. Instructions were not lay people’s understanding in my opinion. I am not happy with this printer and either wish to sell it or return it. It is in excellent condition and not been mistreated or damaged. Mary

I am not very pleased, it seems not to work well with Apple AirPrint needing reconnections regularly and the print quality is substandard. I do like the ease of ink cartridge exchange although jams occur often. It may work better as a single user printer.

Ink cartridges it came with were almost used up after printing test page during setup requires user to buy new ones before you can actually print anything. Prints nowhere close to the number of pages claimed before running out of ink. OEM ink from Epson is ridiculously overpriced and you have to be careful with using off brand replacements because Epson cartridges have computer chips in them to ensure that they’re screwing you over as much as they can.

WASTE OF MONEY - Any dark images printed clearly shows streak lines. I reached out to Epson customer service, and even after all the trouble shooting, they told me they'll only replace it with the same machine. If its a poor quality machine, the replacments won't matter as it will still produce the same LOW QUALITY!
