Epson Expression Photo XP-8500 Small-in-One All-in-One Printer - 4-in-1 with Wi-Fi: Print, Copy, Scan, Ultra HD Photo

2021-10-24T20:00:00

I purchased an Epson printer after a relative said "You have to get an Epson". I am glad I took her advice. It's small but has more capabilities than my older bulkier printer. I love that I do not have to connect it to a computer with a wire and it prints beautifully! I was a little disappointed that it did not come with a few paper and photo page samples to try out and help with setup. So maybe think about ordering some when buying your printer. I am happy with my purchase.

I have had this a year. Now the Epson-8500 says that it is not connected. The USB is connected, and now I am stuck. This sucks.

This was a gift to help start my business. So far works great! Easy Registration. Easy set-up.

I purchased this Epson XP-8500 two months ago to replace my aging Artisan 810. The setup was easy although the printer didn't want to print on my 4 x 6 photo paper. I called support and after some time they did figure out how to make it work with my Mac running Catalina 10.15.1 So I am happy with the printer right now and hope in the future they will fix the printer driver for my Mac. I like the size of the printer but do wish that the display was larger.

I bought this printer as a replacement for my old Epson. I'm sorry I did it. I continually get "Communication Error" and while Epson Support has spent hours trying to fix the problem, including sending me a replacement printer, I still get that error which my Internet provider (who I have worked hours with also) insists it is an Epson Software issue. My printer goes offline every couple of hours and I need to restart it to print each time I need to print. Too frustrating and have spent too much time trying to make this printer work consistently. I wished I never had bought this brand and did more research before purchasing because this problem is not uncommon based on reviews I've read about Epson printers.

We bought this printer a couple of months back and so far it has been great! The setup was fairly easy and quick! I thought it would be a pain to send documents and photos from my phone to be printed but it is so easy and they Look great!

This is the third time I'm installing this printer.. Works for awhile and then starts printing out a list of numbers with my asking. I'm hoping that the third time is the charm.

I have been a dedicated Epson fan for many years for pgoto printing. My old unit was in need of replacement so I picked this one based on the 6 ink colors. I received it in the mail (none of yhe best buys had it in the store). I never made it past the test pattern page. I kept cleaning it and the pattern got worse. After 10 cleanings, i was half out of ink. I took it back and ordered another one. I as m sad to say i had the exact same problem. I took it back as well and got a XP-6100 instead. It only has 4 inks but works fine. Stay away.

For me, I’m not into printing photos. This was a replacement for a Canon with two paper feeds, one for paper, the other for envelopes. This machine has two paper feeds, but one is dedicated to photos. When I have to print a letter and envelope, I have to switch paper back and forth which is a pain in the butt. When I tried scanning documents I had add an Epson software which had other apps piggybacked to it. Real pain in the butt. Best I can say is the print quality is good.

I am completely satisfied with the 8500. It delevers the quality Epson claimes at an affordable price. The ink milage has been good and the reliability excellent. Combined with Epson Premium high gloss paper I have printed many pictures my friends have admired.

Well, some what impressed but not sold yet. Coming from a Artisan 800 that truly amazed me in its ability to print great looking photos right out of the gate this one xp8500 still needs a bit of tweaking in the settings. I am fussy when it comes to printing and the colors have to be bright and beautiful. Profiling your monitor day/night will give you a different look into this world. I am still hopeful this little guy may fill the void for a home printer but to be honest, if that Artisan 800 had a replacement ink box when maint was needed and additional print papers well I believe I would purchase again. I also run a Epson 2200 for more photoshop printing.

I have used photo printers for many years--a variety of brands. The Epson XP-8500 produces outstanding photo prints. So far I have used it for 4" by 6" and 5" by 7" prints and I'm very well satisfied.

We bought this to replace an Epson WF-3640, which did OK for print, copy, scan, but not so for photos. This is the best printer we have had (two Epson, two HP) for photos. The "standard" mode is good enough, the "high" quality uses too much ink, leaves the print looking like a painting with texture. Only complaint is it is hard to reach in and remove a 3.5x5 or 4x6 print from the tray. Good for home use, but not so for a business, you would get tired of reloading paper. Very quite, better than the thrashing machine noise from the WF-3640.

Just picked this up 5-23-19 from local supplier. Setup is quite different from days gone by. Follow the directions and it all goes well. Not much documentation at all regarding normal functions. Will take some time to figure this all out. Hoping for the best.

It prints high quality 4x6 photo prints, but on an 8x10 I have horizontal stripes about an 1inch wide running the whole length of the paper. No stripes when I print a document. It is good that I mainly print 4x6 photos.

Received in one day very well packed in a heavy box. Set up was flawless on both PC and ipad. Using wireless on both. The reason for this purchase was to print pictures. Copy and scan will be used but printing pics is my number 1 priority. I am extremely impressed with the quality of the print. I printed on glossy photo, 4x6, and I believe it couldn't get any better!! This printer replaced a Brother 9330 which gave me nothing but trouble from the wireless connection going down, (had to turn off the printer every two pics to get it to recognize the wireless) wouldn't take photo paper, etc. If you are considering this printer . . . buy with confidence:) .

I purchased this model through B&H photo and I was very pleased on all features including set up which allowed me to plugin direct w/USB port. So far a great product.

I bought this to replace another Epson Printer that would no longer work properly.I found that doing a nozzle check and head alignment still did not allow the printing of good photos (horizontal lines in photos). I will try again to straighten this out and if I am unable to do so, will be returning the product.

I bought this to replace my Artisan 1400. I like its compactness, and the fact that i can also copy and scan. HOWEVER, it is a hog on ink. I have never gone thru so much ink with any printer I have ever owned.

Just completed the setup and have used a few of the features. Total setup time from opening the box to first use was 55 minutes. The interface with the setup software, network, and Mac was seamless. The onscreen instructions are clear and had enough redundancy to keep me from doing something incorrect. Typically, in my past experience, there has always been some sort of set up glitch with any interfacing computer product...even if minor. There was no such event with this setup for which I am thankful

Prints of anything have a noticeable yellow color cast. I used the following Epson products and settings: "Value Photo Paper Glossy" paper and "Claria photo HD" ink; and, XP8500 set to "no color adjustment", "photo paper glossy", "high quality" , driver "2.62.00", and firmware "MD2816". Also, I use Adobe Lightroom set to "relative" intent and the "EPSON XP-8500 Photo Glossy" profile.

First 8500 had to go back. Printer blocked paper from going through. Would not print properly because cassette selection did not work. Replacement printer also blocked paper though I did get that to work after repairing to a degree. Much trouble with ink streaks. Difficulty with cassette selection because of screen not showing an OK icon. After all my tries I had one screen which showed an OK button. Attempts to get the printer working has used up all the ink cartridges. So far out of numerous attempts two photos only printed properly.
