Epson has just introduced an exciting addition to its lineup in the United States—the Expression XP-8800 photo printer. This state-of-the-art printer is designed to deliver exceptional photo quality with its innovative 6-ink color system. It’s not just a printer; it also features a built-in scanner and copier, making it a versatile addition to any home or office.
Whether you’re looking to print cherished family photos or create bespoke greeting cards, the Expression XP-8800 accommodates with ease, supporting borderless printing up to 8.5″ x 11″. Epson proudly boasts that this device can produce stunning images directly from your laptop, desktop, tablet, or smartphone, all within a mere 10-second processing time.
One of the standout features of the XP-8800 is its user-friendly 4.3-inch color touchscreen. Furthermore, with integrated Wi-Fi, you can effortlessly manage your printing tasks using the Epson Smart Panel app on your device. The printer is equipped with two separate trays to handle both plain and photo paper, accommodating up to 200 sheets. There’s also a rear feed for specialty papers, expanding your creative possibilities.
The Expression XP-8800 uses Epson’s 340-series 6-color Claria photo HD ink cartridges, featuring black, cyan, magenta, yellow, light cyan, and light magenta colors. Unfortunately for those who prefer third-party options, this printer is compatible only with Epson’s own ink cartridges. Offering a peak printing resolution of 5760 x 1440 DPI at a color print speed of up to 9.5 pages per minute (ppm) and a black print resolution of 720 x 720 DPI at 9 ppm, it ensures high-quality results every time.
Beyond just printing, the XP-8800 offers wireless printing capabilities with WiFi Direct and supports automatic two-sided and borderless printing, along with copying and scanning functionalities. It does, however, lack wide-format printing capabilities. Epson enhances the user experience with the Creative Print mobile app, enabling users to design and print custom cards and stationery at the touch of a button.
Compact yet robust, the printer weighs approximately 14.6 pounds and measures around 13.7 x 20.7 x 7.2 inches. The Epson Expression XP-8800 is available in a sleek black finish and can be purchased for $299 through Epson’s online store and popular e-commerce platforms like Amazon. Currently, it’s available for purchase in the US, offering a perfect blend of functionality and style.
