Epson XP-205 Ink Cartridges

Epson XP-205 Printer Description

With the benefit of having Epson Connect included, the Epson XP-205 offers freedom and flexibility for home users looking for mobile printing options and Wi-Fi connectivity.

The XP-205 forms part of Epson’s small-in-one range, their smallest ever range of all-in-one inkjets. Users can enjoy printing from smartphones and tablets wirelessly in addition to being able to email documents and images directly to the printer itself.

Apple AirPrint ready, this all-in-one can easily print emails as well as photos and documents from iOS devices.

Ideal for reliable printing, Epson’s Claria Home Ink is able to produce crisp and clear text documents alongside photos that are glossy.

In order to configure laptops and computers to print and scan wirelessly, there is an automatic Wi-Fi function available. There isn’t even a need to know your network settings as the printer will configure itself automatically.

Epson XP-205 Expert Review

The Epson small-in-one range is geared towards the home user who looks for variety in the way they wish to use their printer.

Possessing the functionality that can see the machine print, copy and scan, it’s a more than adequate machine for a family home where there is a need for both document and photo printing. Results for both print options possess a quality that will see you happy to keep them whilst there are speeds of 6.2ppm for mono and 3.1ppm for colour.

For those who look to print in relatively high volumes, there’s a 100-sheet paper capacity which should suit the needs of users who may need a stack of documents printed.

For home offices, this capacity may be slightly too small and there’s no auto duplexing option offered.

With a 5760 x 1440dpi print resolution, prints will be of a very high quality and there is also value for money to be found in the XL ink cartridges available for this machine.

It’s worth noting though that users will be unable to print if any of the four ink cartridges run dry, even if only looking to print in black and white.

Pros

• Excellent photo prints
