My Thoughts
I am completely inept when it comes to electronics. Really, I have no idea how I manage to run this blog. Yet, the Epson Expression Premium XP-810 was super simple to set up. Just a few simple steps and it was up and running wirelessly from both my desktop computer, my husband's laptop, and even my kids' iPads. One of the really great features of this printer is that once connected to these devices, you can print pictures from pretty much anywhere. To be honest, I had a hard time figuring out how this part worked, but that's what a have a teenager for. They are the ones that use wireless devices anyway. Using Epson Connect, my daughter was able to send pictures of her little sister on the pony ride right to the printer while we were still at the fall festival. All she had to do was go online and download the app.
I was also really impressed with how long the ink is lasting. As an author and a mom of four, my printer works overtime and the old cartridges never seemed to last long enough. I've been using these for over a week and printed tons of images with no need for refills. I must have printed at least twenty color pictures as well as fifty pages of my newest novel. On my last printer I was lucky if I got ten pictures out of it before at least one color ran out. When you do start running low on ink, you can replace one color at a time so nothing is wasted.
One of the other features of the Epson that I had to share is the scanning abilities. The picture below is my great grandmother and its over one hundred years old. Time was taking its toll on this photo and without scanning it, I might have lost it forever. Now, I was able to share in on my face book page and tag all cousins from all over the country so we can all share in these fond memories. That was probably the best gift that Epson provided. I was also able to print copies and the quality was amazing, even using this old world photo. Of course, the scanner also comes in handy for sending back signed contracts and other work tasks. I used to either mail contracts or run to the library to have them faxxed, but now I can handle it all from the comfort of my own home.
There are a few other things worth a mention. While I haven't had a chance to try it out since I have no one to send anything to and I normally prefer scanning, there is a built in fax machine. It's also a compact machine with no messy wires. It doesn't take up a lot of space and fits snugly right next to the monitor on my desk. So far, I have had no issues with paper jams or smearing when printing photos or documents. Overall, I am very impressed with everything this printer is able to do. I've used more expensive models in the past that didn't work nearly as well. This printer is a great price, does it all, and I would definitely recommend it.
