Epson Expression Home XP-4205 3-in-1 Ink Multifunction Printer, Scanner, Copier, WiFi, 1440dpi, Duplex, 2.4 Inch Display, DIN A4, incl. 3 Months Readyprint Flex Trial

The Epson Expression Home XP-4200 has been a great addition to my home office. Setup was quick and the WiFi connection worked on the first try, which isn’t always the case with printers. Printing quality is sharp and vibrant for everyday documents and photos, and the 3-in-1 features (print/scan/copy) make it really convenient. The scanner is surprisingly clear, and copies come out crisp. It’s also compact enough to fit on a small desk without feeling crowded. Overall, a reliable multifunction printer that does exactly what I need it to. Great value for the price.

After my old printer stopped working, I’d been getting by with a cordless thermal printer which I think is okay for occasional use but it was time to upgrade to something more permanent with reliable print quality for my home office set up. I wanted something simple to use that would let me print wirelessly from my Mac and iPhone, do occasional scanning and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money either on the printer OR the inks, the price of which I researched BEFORE choosing this printer (I’m using cheaper compatible cartridges rather than official Epson ones). I actually think this is a very decent product; nothing wrong with the printing quality, it's easy to use the features via the control panel screen and it’s been reliable for me with the WIFI connectivity. Just to add, I was anxious about the setup from the outset but this was straightforward: you download the Epson Smart Panel app and it guides you through the process, step-by-step. It includes alignment/ink testing which was actually like a fun quiz to do (hehe) and felt very thorough for quality control. The only thing I got briefly stuck on was when it asked for a product PASSWORD (this is actually printed on the inside; just lift up the top, as if you were going to install the inks and you’ll see it in there). It’s a bit of a noisy beast but I can put up with it for the budget price (under £60 during Black Friday sale); I do think it’s great value for money for the functionality it offers and the ease of use. I really like the white colour too (much easier on the eyes in my white workspace).

Since my trusty XP322 decided to cease to work I needed a similar replacement and having always used Epson printers decided on the XP3200 as a close match. The printer has virtually the same capabilities as my old XP322 but annoyingly they don't seem to come with full ink cartridges these days. The supplied cartridges are just for Setup and Configuration as shown on the cartridge. I managed to get a few pages of print out of them. After that I used some third party inks which work just as well. Installation wasn't too hard. Since this has Wifi and can work with a smartphone and can also take part in Epson's Readyprint ink subscription service, it initially wants to connect to the your network and internet. Since I didn't want this I ignored that option and just continued to set it up using a USB cable. Windows 10 immediately found the printer and installed a defaut print driver but this has limited capability so its better to download the setup utility fron Epson's web site - once again I declined any attempt to connect to the internet and also disabled automatic updates. The printer itself feels a little more plasticy than my old one and the paper movement mechanism is a lot noisier. One feature the SP3200 has that my old XP322 didn't have is automatic double sided printing. To be honest it might seem like a nice convenient feature but its a lot slower than turning over the paper manually. It prints, scans and copies just like my old printer and the driver options look just the same, so it was an easy switch over. Good quality print and scan but genuine inks are expensive and you'll need something to get going as those supplied are only for setup.

Received today, easy to set up and connect to Wi-Fi and smartphone. It is lightweight and not so big, so it doesn’t eat up so much space on the table, and print quality is awesome. Just right for occasional use at home. It comes with ink, so it’s ready to use. It doesn’t come with a USB cable, but overall, I believe it’s a good buy.

First impression, very good. Easy to set up using the Epson app, easy to connect to laptop, phone, tablet and by cable, to my desktop pc. Print quality appears to be excellent, though I haven't tried photo yet. Not fast, but fine for home use. Great value for money.

As above!

Belle petite imprimante qui fonctionne parfaitement jusqu'à ce jour. Recommandée par une Conseillère d'Amazon car mon ancienne en panne. Belle photos et documents impeccables je suis satisfaite par ce nouvel achat. A suivre pour le changement des cartouches d'encre.
