Epson XP-820

Epson Expression Premium XP-820 "Small-in-One" All-in-One Printer ($199/£170/AU$219) is the top of the line in Epson's XP printer series that includes both the XP-520 and the XP-620.



This model is mainly of interest for its color photo printing capabilities, the Wi-Fi-enabled device also offers two-sided printing as well as copying, scanning, and color faxing with a one year limited warranty in the US and Canada. It's supported by the major operating systems including Windows 8 and Mac OS 10.10.

The Epson XP-820 leaves a great first impression - it's an attractive device with a solid design and an intuitive color touchscreen. Set-up was quick and easy and the driver installation will just take a few minutes.

Features:

Features of the Epson XP-820 include a 4.3" color touchscreen (the largest of the three Epson models in the series), auto document feeder, dedicated photo tray, and print speeds of 14.0 ISO ppm (black) and 11.0 ISO ppm (color). The input tray holds 100 sheets of paper while the dedicated photo tray holds 20 sheets of glossy photo paper, and the automatic document feeder handles 30 sheets at a time. The printer also supports most paper sizes as well as No. 10 envelopes. In addition to Wi-Fi the printer has a USB port, a memory card slot, a direct camera /phone port, and an Ethernet outlet to enhance connectivity.

Epson's XP-820 is also "Mopria-certified," (Mopria is a non-profit organization promoting the expansion of mobile printing) meaning it works with both Mopria's Print Service and the built-in printing framework in Android (included in v4.4 and up) allowing users to print anything regardless of the brand, device, or the operating system. Users also have access to Epson's iPrint mobile app (more on that later). Let's look at how the Epson XP-820 holds up as a device for printing color snapshots.
