Epson Expression Photo XP-970 A3 Multifunction Wireless Inkjet Printer

جميييله ودقة في الطباعة والسعر مناسب جدا انصح فيها وبقوه

UPDATE: Everything below, I stand by. However after using this printer for a few months now it is quite frustrating how slow it is, not slow in actual printing, but slow in getting ready to print, particularly discs. After using the Print CD software, and you press print it takes a while for the printer to realise you want to print something, then it starts making noises, presumably to move internal parts to allow CD printing. Only once it has stopped making noise can you push the CD tray in and then after another adjustment of some kind it will begin to print. From clicking print, to the start of the printing takes about 20 to 30 seconds, Ok so not an absolute age but something I think worth noting. This is an amazing printer, I must confess I am an Epson fan and have never owned any other brand. I bought this purely to print A3 photos and artwork, I own 2 other Epson A4 printers and they have served me well, so stuck with the brand. This is a very smart looking printer, very clean lines, not too big, in fact only about 3cms wider than my A4 but same height and depth. Wi-Fi is simple to set up, took about 3 minutes using push button (WPS) method. Print quality is exceptional, even borderless. The LCD screen is very clear and bright, and very easy to understand and navigate. The front automatically flips up when power is turned on, the paper outfeed tray is also automatic and comes out when needed. It has 3 paper feed trays, 1 at the rear and 2 in the front, this is very useful as you could keep different size papers in each tray, saving you the trouble of swapping paper, you could keep A4 in one tray and 6x4 photo paper in the other, the rear feed is primarily used for A3 although it adjusts to any size. You will need to tell the printer which tray you want to use via the print dialogue box that pops up on your PC (after installing the supplied software) Make sure you set correct paper size. The minor gripes. When printing onto A3 using the rear paper feed, you must wait until you have sent the job to the printer, before placing paper in the feed, you can not have paper already waiting in the feed tray, you can only print 1 at a time. You can choose to print more than 1 but you have to go through the same process as printing just one, ie wait until instructed to place paper in the rear feed, this sounds like a headache, but really is not too bad, just time consuming. The CD tray is not motorised as in my (older) A4 printer, possibly lack of room because of the 2 paper trays, this is a minor gripe really as slotting it in is extremely simple, the CD tray is stored below the paper trays at the front. Again not a major issue. Features I have not used yet are printing from SD card using the onboard slot. I have not used the Photo+, nor Photo+ tool, or Scansmart. All of these utilities are on the supplied installation disc. Overall an exceptional printer, smart looking, easy to operate, great features, excellent print quality. Highly recommended.

I think this is the best printer I've ever owned, but yesterday I was tempted to chuck it in the bin and buy another one. Plus points: can print on A3 paper, which I really did need, and you manually feed the A3 sheet at the back when you want to print on A3. Colours are wonderful, good resolution, very nice prints. Can print wirelessly and via a wired (Ethernet) cable (if you use that method, wireless is disabled) and via a USB cable. And yesterday it all stopped working. The printer was forever "offline" or "busy" and I couldn't get it to print anything at all. I tried everything I could think of, for hours. Then I went to the Epson site and used the support chat option. I was sceptical that they could help, and assumed they would agree with me that the printer needed to be taken to a repair shop. But we found the problem. I had recently installed a Mesh network in my house and it couldn't connect to that. Seemingly my Mesh network was broadcasting both a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz signal, and this printer gets confused by the conflicting signals. Whether you call that a design flaw, I don't know. While it was in its state of confusion it was incapable of printing via wired ethernet or via USB. The only solution was (a) switch off the Mesh system (b) connect to the router itself and finally (c) configure it to use a homeplug/powerline ethernet connection. Now the printer works perfectly and my Mesh is on again but the printer no longer uses the wireless connection. On that basis and assuming it still works after a decent interval, I'm happy to give it an overall 5 star rating. As for the touch screen, my fingers are evidently too big for those tiny icons. It's me who has the design flaw.

The quality is great, does nice photo printing and documents, scanning works fine etc. It did only last 4.5 years before all prints started to get lines and bits missing that all the usual nozzle cleaning couldn't solve. That doesn't seem long enough, these things should be disposable items like that.
