Epson Expression Photo Printers Launched – IFA 2019

Epson has launched its all-in-one Expression Photo printers. The new offerings are designed to produce superior photos with 6-colour inks at up to A4 (XP-8600 series) and A3 (XP-970).

The XP-8600 series and XP-970 provide an excellent solution for photo enthusiasts looking for an all-in-one printer that can print superior photos.

Both models offer mobile printing and feature a space-saving and stylish design. Additionally, the improved user interface makes it easy for you to navigate the printer’s features directly.

Lasting Photos

The 6-colour, Claria Photo HD inks, are capable of printing long-lasting and professional-looking, glossy photos. Moreover, those snaps can apparently last for up to 300 years in a photo album.

Printing photos directly from a memory card is simple using the large 10.9cm touchscreen. You can also print onto suitable CDs and DVDs and a range of media including thicker photography papers (XP-970 offers up to A3) using the rear media feed.

The XP-8600 series and XP-970 offer lots of user-friendly features including A4 auto double-sided printing, motorised output tray and auto power on for convenience.

Making it easy to switch between tasks, the printers have two front-loading paper trays (A4 and photo sized).

Mohamed Musa, product manager, Epson Europe, told GadgetyNews:

Photography enthusiasts want the flexibility to print photos at home that match the quality of their DSLR camera. The XP-970 and XP-8600 series provide a fantastic solution as the 6-colour inks deliver superior, long-lasting images. As all-in-ones with a modern user interface, they’re also great for the whole family with our free mobile printing apps making it simple to print directly from smart devices.

Price and availability

The XP-970 and XP-8600 series are available from September 2019, priced at £229.99 and £129.99.
