Epson Expression Premium XP-7100 Wireless Printer

Two years ago I looked for a single function printer. The only one I could find was a Canon G5020 and bought it. A BIG Mistake! It was a nightmare to print anything. The WiFi never worked well. Bought a USB direct connect cable. It worked for two weeks and just quit working at all. So I found and bought the Epson XP. For the price it’s the best printer I’ve owned. And the scan functions have options that will work great for me! User functions are straight forward. Quality is just plain great. Thank you Epson for a great printer at a great price!!

Everything that I printed out of the copier, whether it was paper or for photos it was great.

My daughter needed a printer for college that could handle low volume color work. The Epson XP6100 fits the bill for those needs.

Let me begin by mentioning what we don’t use it for. We haven’t tried the scanner feature or printing photos. I know that many buyers are interested in those features, but I have no advice to give there.

To begin, we needed a wireless, small, color printer. The Epson hits all those marks. It has a small enough footprint to fit on a dorm desk without taking up too much space and weight is certainly not an issue. Print quality is fine for what she needs. Colors are sharp and printing is readable. I’ll always be a laser fan, but I don’t go blind trying to read output from this. Setup was very easy; ink cartridges snap into place effortlessly.

These days you need a printer to which you can send jobs from various devices and we’ve had no problem with that with or without wireless. At home the printer connected to our network easily (with the exception of having to enter the password on the small screen input panel). But, since her dormitory does not allow wireless access for printers, we were glad that Epson’s wireless direct allows any phone, iPad, or computer to send a print job directly and it works wonderfully.

There are a few negatives with the Epson as well. The input screen is not a touch screen, so you have to navigate with buttons (that’s why it’s so hard to type in a password). In creating a small footprint, Epson had to tuck away the paper trays. The front panel is comprised of two hinged sections. To load paper (separate trays for standard size and photo size) you fold down the bottom of the panel, pull out the paper tray, load and push in. When printing, you fold up the top of the panel, pull out the output tray and then print. This tray system works fine – it just struck me as strange having never seen it before. It also will take only Epson print cartridges, so I’m not looking forward to the first time it runs out of ink.

I wish the documentation had been a little more thorough, but there are online guides and I’ve found a couple of You Tube videos that help with setup and features. The wireless and print direct features seemed fairly intuitive, but I’ve had quite a bit of experience with printers. I could see how a person might struggle with setup if this was his/her first printer ever so those online resources could come in handy.

Overall the Epson XP6100 fits my daughter’s needs perfectly. For the price, I’d recommend it.

This is a very compact printer. When it’s not on, everything retracts. Has multiple trays for specialized printing. Nice bright LCD screen as well.
Takes a little time to go through the set-up procedure, but it is easy to do.
Print quality is excellent!

Los cartuchos son muy difíciles de conseguir y además caros !

I bought this printer for my elderly mother. She just needed something basic. But the biggest criteria was that it needed to be narrow enough to fit on a shelf in her tv cabinet. This was the smallest one we could find, and it fits perfectly. It connected easily to WiFi. It also had to have a phone app to print from the phone, which this does, and it works. It works fine for simple document copying, and printing. And it’s done ok printing a few snapshots. It has a special paper try for photo paper.
