What customers say
Dedicated photo enthusiasts highly praise the Epson XP-970 for its stunning, professional grade output, especially the vibrant color and detail on large borderless prints. The six color ink system delivers exceptional quality suitable for framing. While users appreciate the relatively compact design, the core sentiment is polarized by operational economics. The primary frustration centers on the high cost and rapid depletion of individual ink cartridges. This significantly diminishes the printer's overall value proposition despite the superior image results. Some users also note occasional difficulties with Wi-Fi setup and paper feeding, particularly with thicker media. It is a high performance tool for those accepting substantial ongoing ink expenses.
