Epson Smart Panel 4+

Really happy with this printer. Print detail & quality is brilliant, able to do high quality photos etc. Paid a bit more for an Ink tank printer to save on overall cost of continuously buying expensive ink cartridges, total recommend this option. The Epson app takes a while to go through initial setup process but its user friendly & really easy. The app & driver printing functionality & connectivity are really responsive & fast. For pictures seems better to use with good quality heavier paper types, text prints doesn’t matter. Ink lasts for ages & replacements a lot better price, the whole point of an ink tank. Great little printer, good price, quality great, highly recommend it, really happy with it

The app was very clear and easy to use from an iPhone. However, it only ever got to about 3.8 out of 5 on its own setup log. Just before the ink was fully initiliazed, the app asked me if I wanted to set up WiFi - which I did - but it was completely unclear on how to do this (use the panel on the printer itself), & although it recognised that WiFi was enabled, it then just went back into a loop - initialise ink? Check - connect WiFi? Yes(can only say yes or no, & I didn’t want to turn it off) - already there! Hit next - I nitiliazing ink - connect WiFi ? Etc. So that was where the Incredibly smooth, slick App fell over. Hopefully, there was nothing important in the last section that I couldn’t do from the control panel or from the paperwork that came with the printer!
Now, where does the paper go?…

I spent hours trying to get my laptop, mobile and printer to connect but nothing I tried worked (after Googling help on dozens of sites!) Almost gave up but suddenly, the following morning, the printer was found on my Bluetooth, relief!! Not impressed with the help on Epson as it just suggests the very obvious actions even an idiot would have done - turn on device, check wifi, turn on Bluetooth- doh!!! Nothing really helpful when it just won’t connect!
