I really enjoyed playing with this versatile printer. It was easy to set up (including the wireless networking), its large and tiltable LCD made photo editing a snap while the touchscreen keeps the machine button-free, and the print...

The Epson Artisan 800 makes perfect sense for those looking primarily for a photo printer, copier and scanner. Its plain paper print quality isn’t great, but absolutely fine for personal and casual use, and its fully functioning fax machine and...
