I bought this printer after much research and love Epson brand because of the picture quality, (I had an Epson Artision printer that has lasted for years). It prints exactly like your picture with beautiful color. Plus when you replace ink you only have to replace the one cartridge so less expensive and the printer itself wasn’t expensive!

Print quality, both color and black & white, is very good. It was pretty easy to set up and has been working well. My concern is that it feels like flimsy construction. The socket for the power cord wiggles and never feels solid. The paper drawer also feels quite wiggly and flimsy. Have owned Epson printers for many years and this is the first one that feels like cheap plastic poorly fitted that might not last long. I’m hoping get 3 years out of it, but time will tell. And as with all printers, the ink is very expensive.

First of, I will point out that I have used many different brands of printers. I’m well aware of each ones most strongest features and their pros and cons. With that said, I tend to lean more on the Epson brand because they seem more durable, are intuitive and look really nice. In today’s world of high tech we need to be able to print out documents and pictures in great quality. We get used to seeing our nice screens so it’s only fair that our printed images look as best as they can. This Epson XP-970 does not disappoint! I have 2 other printers that I use almost daily and they don’t compare to the amazing pictures this Epson printer prints out. It has a great overall small footprint and prints pictures a little extra bigger (11″ x 17″) than the regular size printers. It has a 4.3″ touchscreen and you can use it independently without any device or PC. It works from any device and on both Android and iOS without a glitch! The tray opens up itself when you print out something for the first time. The screen also open and flips up in very cool, and high tech way! You can even print images on CD’s! I love to make home movies or slide shows and give them out to friends and family. This feature was really big back in the early 2000’s and I had a computer tower that did that until it broke down. So to see this on a favorite printer of mine, well it’s cool. It is considered a “small in one” and has all theses features; Wireless 2.4 & 5 antennas, Ethernet, Wide Format, Print/Copy, Scan, 6-color inks ISO Print Speed: Black: 8.5 ISO ppm; Color: 8.0 ISO ppm. It has an SD card reader and 1 USB port. It also has Voice Activated Printing with Alexa and Google. I used it to print my shopping list! Wow! The setup was super easy! Place it somewhere, plug it in and follow on-screen instructions. My kids use it for High School and College and they are amazed on the quality of the print. It’s very neat and there’s no runoffs or blurring. It comes with a manual in a few different languages and an install CD for PC. You can always download the Creative apps on any device and it gives you the option to do pretty much anything you’d want to do on a printer with all these options. I’m extremely happy with this printer and the price is definitely fair for all the features and great quality you get out of it.

Great compact all-in-one printer for home. I take landscape photos for fun and like the high resolution print results too.

This is my 3rd Epson Expression in 6 years, two XP-960s and this XP-970. Each one became unuseable due to clogged print heads that couldn’t be cleared even with repeated power cleanings. The first one lasted about 3-1/2 years, the second for 2 and this last one only 6 months. My wife and I are retired. We have a laser printer for B&W documents, so use our color printer less often. I know lack of regular use will sometimes cause the print head of an inkjet to become clogged. So after the second printer started showing signs of clogging after about a year of use, I used a graphics program to develop a full sheet of 1 square colored boxes in a range of colors and shades. I printed this color test sheet and a nozzle check once a week. This wastes a lot of ink, but it kept the printer working flawlessly – until it didn’t. I decided to give the Epson Expression one more chance, so I bought the newer model XP-970. Last week, my test sheet printed with very noticeable banding and the nozzle check showed a significant number of clogged nozzles in all 6 colors. I ran several head cleanings, then power cleanings, but the banding continued. I’ve spent the last week trying everything Epson and web searches recommends for clearing the print head. Nothing seemed to work. I finally noticed that the nozzle check was showing the exact same pattern of clogged nozzles each time. I now believe that it’s the print head itself that’s failed or reached the limit of it’s planned obsolence rather than the ink clogging the nozzles. Each printer head failed sooner that the last because I used it to print more, due to my weekly test pages, than the last. My next color printer will not be an Epson Expression.

My need was for a printer with capabilities to make copies, therefore I went for the XP-970. I run a printing business therefore I didn’t need a photo capable printer at home. The print quality for text is quite clear; I have not printed photos yet to test print quality. This printer offers double sided printing which is convenient while saving paper. Setup was very easy but initial paper installation was a bit tricky. There is a main tray which will house up to letter sized paper but initially when pulled out, the smaller tray above kept coming out with it. The trick is to get the small tray back in place before pushing the lower tray in. The small tray prints 3.5×5, 4×6 and 5×6 sized card stock. It works wirelessly which is a great convenience. I believe this also prints up to 11×17 which requires paper placed in the rear slot. The display is bright and clear and is adjustable. All in all this is a nice printer, lightweight, and easy to set up and use, for basic printing projects.

This is an amazing printer. The photo’s are so vivid. It is super easy to sync to your computer, phone or tablet. It is fairly small compared to other models. The ink is reasonably priced. I highly recommend this fantastic printer to anyone who prints photos. This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo XP-970 Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

I’m impressed with the Epson XP-970 Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Printer – Black. I have had it for about a week now and I have used just about all of its features. I work from home sometime and am not a high capacity user so this printer has been an excellent option for me. If you are looking for a great printer with high intensity output, then I would highly depend on the Epson XP-970. The Epson XP 470 is a substantial upgrade from the popular Epson series of printers. The setup was easy and flawless and hardly had I to refer to any documents provided. Time taken to perform the setup was hardly 20-25 minutes and it was ready for printing and scanning. Installation of the cartridges were also easy and without any mess. Product size is really compact and weight is reasonable. There is a distinct improvement in print quality and speed compared to my existing Printer which is another brand. Competition is rising up for this class of printer, but the XP 970 is a very good 17″ desktop printer that every photographer ought to consider. Copying is fast. Scanning is faster too…and 600 dpi gives the enough clarity that is needed for me however the maximum resolution is 4800dpi. It prints a 4X6 photo in about 10 seconds. Additionally there are multiple ways you can print wirelessly (Epson Connect, Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print) and you can scan to cloud. Bring able to control the printer from Alexa and Google home is a plus point. Additionally it comes with SD card slot and it does support Memory Stick Duo and CompactFlash card through USB 2.0 with the ability to connect to internet using Ethernet or Wi-Fi options. Auto Photo Correction with advanced face detection as well as red-eye removal and photo restoration capabilities are definitely few add-ons a photographer may be interested in. Overall, this is a great printer for personal and home use. I feel this is definitely worth the money. Nevertheless to say that printers are prone to problems anytime. My take is to spend a few more dollars have the peace of mind for few years. “This is a review for the Epson Expression Photo XP-970 Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

The Epson Expression Photo XP-970 Small-In-One Inkjet printer is an amazing printer for printing photos at home. The print quality is much better than any other photo printer I have ever used. The print time is fairly quick. I like that you can print different sizes from 4×6 borderless photos to 11×17 printing all wirelessly. Another great feature is that you can use voice printing with either Amazon Alexa or Google assistant, so no need to be tethered to your computer to print. There is also the option to print from a SD memory card or memory stick. The touchscreen display is user friendly and you also have built in software that allows you to adjust your photos, red removal and restoration tools for old or damaged photos, which is amazing. Another really cool feature is it also has the ability to print images onto CDs or DVDs when you want to create a custom gift for family and friends. Set-up was really simple and fast right out of the box it took no more than 15-20 mins and I was ready to print.

Our RX 620 was a better printer. Easier to use and more solid. The XP-970 is flimsy especially the paper trays. When printing it wants to pull more than one sheet of paper out. Only reason we bought this was because the 620 was have printer issues with windows 10 and was told that there was no driver update for the 620.

I think the Epson Expression Photo XP-970 Printer was very easy to set up. People who don’t do well with technology wouldn’t have a problem setting this up at all. I don’t have much experience in setting printers up, but it was extremely easy. The printer pretty much walks you through the steps one step at a time. It would be a great printer for photos or even for everyday documents. The fact that it is voice-activated is extremely convenient. It has three different trays for different sized paper and the screen lifts up also. The ink comes with covers that come off to place the ink trays in but then they can go right back on! The printer was also packed neatly and safe inside the box. The machine itself looks very slick. I would highly recommend it to family and friends. Don’t be afraid to push a little harder on the ink trays to put it in! I was a little worried putting the ink in because of how hard I had to push just to get it to click in. I also didn’t like how it was more of a chore to put the paper in the printer. You had to move things over, and it isn’t very convenient. All in all, I think it is a very slick printer and is great for people into photography like I am. I would highly recommend it.

At least for me it was an easy setup, not complicated the calibration, was easy to execute. It was up and running in about 30 min. Prints amazing. Very happy with the buy.

When the printer was delivered, the first thing I noticed was the width. It’s pretty impressive. Definitely wider than any printer I’ve had before. According to the box, that is so it can print great pictures. The box didn’t lie. No more one hour photo kiosks for me. The photos print with professional quality and the 6 (yes, six) ink colors let you see your photos almost exactly as you took them. With regular printers that have black, blue, yellow, and red, your photos are never as vibrant as they are on your camera or phone. Epson has solved this problem with the addition of the 2 extra colors. This printer was easy to unpack and set up. Word of advice: The ink cartridges have caps on them that you have to take off. Don’t get your fingers in them. They a small amount of ink on them and I got a blue finger tip. Epson provides a plastic bag for you to put the ink caps in. You need to keep the caps and put them back on the cartridges when they are empty. Once you install the ink, the printer runs its initialization program. The touch screen LCD display tells you this takes about 7 minutes, and it did take right at 7 minutes for me. Set up is pretty straight forward. You load the paper and then run the print alignment test. After that is complete, run the cd on your computer to complete the process. There are multiple places to load paper. I have loaded regular printer paper and 4×6 glossy photo paper. The first item I printed was a 4×6 photo of my grandson and….I wasted a sheet of 4×6 glossy paper. I didn’t see anything to tell me if the paper should be glossy side up or down, so I put it up. That was the wrong thing. The ink pooled on the wrong side of the paper and it was quite a mess. Make sure you put the glossy side DOWN in the tray. The next item I printed was a 3 page Excel document. I decided to try the 2 sided printing. I did not have to put the paper back in to print on the back. It printed both sides before spitting the paper out. The document had several color bands and I was worried about bleed through, but it wasn’t an issue. The scanner/copier works very well and scanned the pictures and documents to my computer with no issues. The copied documents looked just like the originals. Although I haven’t tried them yet, this printer has even more bells and whistles. You can print from your phone, a memory card, a CD/DVD, and even from a different location. While I was writing this review, I printed 25 two-sided copies for a club I belong to and they printed quickly and the ink was dry when I took them off the tray. In summary, the Epson XP-970 prints fantastic photos (as long as you have the paper loaded correctly) and great documents. This printer is good for people who are looking for their first printer and for people who have been printing for years. The pictures show the scanner tray, the touch screen LCD display on start up and during printing, and the 2 sided document I printed.

Replaced a much larger (and scanner-les) Photo Stylus 1400. Pictures come up beautiful. Fast printing. Even the waste tank is replaceable, unlike the 1400. So far, quite happy. The only downside is that loading photopaper is a one-at-a-time affair, and on demand, meaning if the printer is in a room other than the where the printer is, you have to walk over to it.

No issues with this printer. Pictures are picture perfect!
