Quick Home Photo Printing – Epson Printer Review

I love photography, especially taking pictures of Baby.  I take A LOT of photo’s, but have comparatively few actually printed off, as ‘proper’ pictures.  I never seem to remember and time flies, then before I know it we are months down the line with thousands (I kid you not!) of unprinted snaps.

So you can imagine my delight when Viking Direct contacted me to see if I would like to review a wireless printer.  I was sent an Epson XP312 Wireless Printer and couldn’t wait to see it in action.  First though, some details about this little beauty

• Print, scan and copy with ease, with the compact Epson XP312 multifunction colour printer featuring advanced Wi-Fi connectivity and LCD preview screen
• The XP-312 has a 3.7cm LCD screen and accompanying memory card slot offers easy-to-use PC-free printing for greater flexibility.
• Small footprint All-in-One printer ideal for use in the home
• Daisy Ink cartridges are available in standard and XL sizes, making them suitable for infrequent or regular users alike.
• Ink cartridges supplied in individual colours, saving money by only replacing the colour that runs out.

I love the fact that this epson printer allows printing directly from android phones, USB’s and laptops, so I have so many ways to ensure my photo’s make it out of cyber space.  All of our family live ‘up north’ and so they do not get to see Baby that much.  I always mean to get some pictures printed, but I never seem to find the time.  So the first job after I set up the printer (which was really easy) was to print some recent photo’s to pop in the post.

The quality of the photo’s is really good (obviously I used photo quality paper) and so quite soon I had a couple of little piles to send to Nanna and Aunty J.  The printer was quite quiet and prints quickly.

I am so pleased with this printer, it makes such a difference to us having a printer all ready to go (it will eventually have it’s own shelf under the stairs) and not have to dig it out of the cupboard and connect all  the leads.  Especially when we always seem short of time.

I could not recommend this printer highly enough and I can’t wait to carry on with all my backed up printing.

This printer currently retails at £60, which is great value for such a versatile printer.
