I have this printer for about a month, I am very impressed with it so far. I still didn''t replace cartridges that came with. I was a bit anxious choosing this printer, because there was no user review online yet for XP-850. I found some reviews for XP-800, but would not compare,since this baby is completely new design. It uses different cartridges, and seemed to be more photo inclined. XP850 takes six cartridges: Black, Magenta, Light Magenta, Cyan, Light Cyan and Yellow. The XP-800 uses C-M-Y-K and Photo Black.

I am a hobbyist photographer, and wanted a decent printer for my photos, but didn''t want to spend more than $300 for one. So far I was printing my photos online, or at local CVS store. They were rarely printed to my taste, as usually they are adding more contrast or saturation to my photos, making them look different from what I have in my computer.

My monitor has visual color and gamma adjustment/calibration. I''m adjusting my photos using Lightroom 4. Photos are printed on Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper GLOSSY. The prints look accurate with what I see on my monitor, beautiful vivid colors.

I have the xp-850 wired to my main machine, also connected with WiFi to a laptop in another room. Also installed an application on my Android phone and I could print images or web pages from my smart phone. I don''t see myself doing that, so I removed the app.

Wifi is easy to set up, works great, no issues. I like the fact that tray comes out automatically, on my older printer sometimes I would forget to open the door and extend the tray, and printed paper would get stuck inside. Printing from another room wirelessly, you won''t have to ask yourself: Is the tray open or not ?

I have 4x6 photo paper in cassette1, and A4 in cassette2. But I have option to load 4x6 photo paper in cassette1, 8x10 photo paper in cassette2, and A4 paper in the rear feed slot. Easy to choose from the menu which of the cassette to use.

There are plenty features you get on this printer for less than $300. Two side printing, ADF (automatic document feeder), Fax, Scan, Copy, print from memory card, print on CD, touch screen with intuitive menu. Also wireless connection to your phone/tablet or laptop. I won''t focus at all this features.

Most people care about print quality and how long the cartridges last. Everything else is bundle. I can confirm that print quality exceeded my expectation. Every photo that comes out is simply beautiful. I''m studying every inch of the photo, looking at all details and can''t find anything to complain about. What I see on my IPS monitor, I''m holding in my hands as print. I can''t compare it to competition, as my previous printer was a junk used mostly to print online coupons.

Will have to update my review after one or two cartridge changes.

"Upgraded" from an HP unit, which was excellent, but, I wanted "more" for some photography printing along with the everyday things. I''m super pleased on all fronts. The ability to take thicker stock from a rear feed is nice if you need an 8x10 or a cover sheet for a presentation. Colors are excellent. Highly recommended!

Had an Epson 220 photo printer which was used exclusively by my wife to print 4X6 photos. She would use the printer maybe every three months. Printer worked great for 4-5 years, but then one of the print heads appears to have gotten slightly clogged, and the printer utilities could not correct the problem. All it takes is one slightly bad head to affect the quality of the photo.

I may have a preference for Epson photo printers, but I review HP and Canon printers. Really just needed a photo printer versus a all-in-one (have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus), but I decide on the XP-850 based on reviews and compact size and price. Pictures generated so far are excellent. Ink cartridges are a little small, but we don''t print that many photos. Not fond of the output tray automatically coming out and then requiring me to manually push back in.

I would recommend purchasing this printer. Does have a nice compact footprint and excellent features.

This thing is wonderful. It is small, easy to install, reasonably fast for an ink jet and does everything. I reccomend this printer, scanner, fax for anybody that doesn''t do excessive high volume printing and doen''t have a lot of spare space.

The printer has excellent photo quality, great features, great versatility. The scanner does an excellent job, as well. It really irritates me, though, that if you turn the printer off (I''m not referring to unplugging it) it will lose the date/time settings. When you turn it back on you''ll have to set them again. I can''t for the life of me understand why on earth Epson would leave such a design flaw like that.
