Epson Expression Photo XP-850

Epson's Expression Photo XP-850 is a top-of-the-range, six colour all-in-one with all the extras, like CD/DVD print, duplex, fax and ADF.

Three paper feed sources ; Touch panel controls ; Unusually small footprint

Tray and display won’t auto-retract ; Much slower print than claims ; 100-sheet main paper tray

Sockets at the rear support USB, 10/100 Ethernet and phone line connection for the fax. Epson’s software bundle handles printing, scanning and faxing and there’s a three month trial of Corel Draw X6.

Epson Expression Photo XP-850 printer

An all-in-one unit with a small size and an ability to produce fine photo prints

High-quality photo prints ; Small footprint ; Google Cloud ready ; ADF and auto-duplex

Epson Expression Photo XP-850 Small-in-One

The Epson Expression Photo XP-850 Small-in-One inkjet MFP offers almost any multifunction printer feature you can think of.

Simplex (one-sided) and duplex (two-sided) printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Prints on discs. Ethernet. Wi-Fi.

Below-par text and graphics quality. Low paper capacity.

Review: Epson Expression Photo XP-850 Small-in-One Printer

Epson Expression Photo XP-850

Great-looking photo output; automatic duplex printing and scanning

Washed-out colour graphics on plain paper; clunky push-scan setup

The Epson Expression Photo XP-850 would work well as a photo printer that will occasionally double as an office MFP. It’s at least one feature better than the Canon Pixma MG8220 Wireless Inkjet Photo All-In-One, which lacks an ADF. The HP Photosmart...

Only a couple of months on but good so far

I've had this Multifunction device for around 3 months now and its working very well. I particularly like the fact I can set it up for automatic fax reception. I've set it up to auto-answer faxes after 6 rings and my answerphone connected through this...
