Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Likes: The colors and type print perfectly. Setup instructions were well written but could have included more setup and function tests like wifi setup and scanner testing. The regular black ink cartridge is a double wide. The printer is fairly compact and I found it to be currently discounted at one but not both of our local big box office supply stores. Maybe it's a Black Friday deal. Concerns: I would be a little concerned in using card or label stock in this printer as the heavy paper has to do a 180 in order to print. Just follow the "Start Here" brochure EXACTLY and the setup should go perfectly. It takes a little time to complete the setup so be very patient. I used my old HP power cord and USB cable. During the setup procedure you can make a test print. My test print came out perfectly. I then made a copy of the test print on the scanner and it made a perfect color match. After that was completed I set up my WiFi connection using the printer panel. Then I sent a photo from my iPhone 5 to the XP-600 which resulted in an ugly print on one of the two 4x6 sample sheets that came with the printer. Now what? Based on a guess I turned the remaining photo paper over with the good side down and did another iPhone to XP-600 print. This time the printer made a perfect photo print. You can also make perfect and fast 4x6 photo copies on photo paper of 4x6 original photos. If you forget to pull the printed paper catcher tray out when you print the printer will stop and complain. When loading the regular paper tray please pay attention to the white triangle alignment mark on the front of the paper tray. Summary: This is a whole lot of printer for not that much money and the price has been dropping lately. The software doesn't talk at you like Lexmark but I don't expect it to spill black inkjet ink all over my carpet like my late not so great HP printer. The big difference between the XP-400 and the XP-600 is the XP-600 is a faster printer with more resolution and has a bigger black ink cartridge. It also has an extra black cartridge for photos.
