The tilting 10.9cm touchscreen is particularly useful for standalone scanning and copying tasks, as well as for printing photos via the SD/HC/XC card slot or PictBridge port. (Image credit: Epson) The built in scanner can be used as a basic copier onto plain paper. It has no document feed, but to be fair if I want document feeding I’ll buy a full time office printer. For myself, the ‘office functions’ of this printer are a distant second in my concerns compared with art/photo printing. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. It’s a superb bit of software and happily works with thousands of scanners no longer supported, as well as new ones.

I tried to install the product on my Mac with a wireless connection, but the installation failed. What should I do? In the example below, I’m printing two B&W images via the Epson PPL software on different media (this is from my B&W video) The printer has three paper trays, but they’re relatively low capacity. The main A4 paper tray can only take a maximum of 100 sheets, so if you print a lot of documents it will need regular refilling. The printer accepts custom paper sizes up to just short of a metre. Some printer marketing points to lengths up to 2m, but not on my Mac.I will look at use of mobile devices later, but not in any great detail, since the main aim of this review is to look at high end print making, and that isn’t yet something I associate (yet) with printing from mobile devices. The SD/HC/XC card slot and PictBridge port are conveniently placed at the front left of the printer.

The copier on the Epson worked well, producing an accurate representation of the source material. Equally, the scanner function was great, with the resolution of 1,200 x 4,800dpi providing as much detail as you could want. I’ve not tried printing from InDesign I’m afraid – have you tried installing and printing from Epson Print Layout? It can work as a plugin in Photoshop. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. I was able to print from Windows before with a wireless connection, but now I can't. What should I do? In diffuse daylight the slight warmth of the ‘natural’ paper shows (printed with he VFA media setting) and overall print neutrality is good.No way to turn of firmware upgrades and it just keeps pestering one until you give in. Will designers please not pester customers for any reason. His expertise with equipment doesn’t end there, though. He is also an encyclopedia when it comes to all manner of cameras, camera holsters and bags, flashguns, tripods and heads, printers, papers and inks, and just about anything imaging-related. Remember me? The famous old Stylus Pro 3880 isn’t a bad image quality comparison – more inks, but the ET-8550’s more modern inks and tiny droplets help compensate. For the last segment of our testing routine, the ET-8550 printed two of our colorful and highly detailed 4-by-6-inch snapshots. It did so in an average of 38 seconds each, which is well below the 60-second threshold that most people find acceptable in a consumer-grade photo printer.

This calculation is based on current pricing which is subject to change over time and excludes the cost of additional long life components such as drums, fusers or other maintenance items. We reserve the right to verify or ask for written proof of a competitors offer before we beat the price. The initial one-off alignment process is fiddly and I was glad I had my old geology hand lens to look at the printed details. An important aspect of this is that you shouldn’t top up any inks unless you are filling them to the full mark, and registering it. If the printer doesn’t know the ink levels, there is a risk it won’t flag up an empty tank and run dry – never a good thing to do with inkjet printers.Printerland cannot match the price where a manufacturer or distributor sells directly to the public Intuitive touch display and wireless connectivity — 4.3" color display, voice-activated printing 9 and more for fast, easy performance
