Epson Expression Premium XP-6000 Small-in-One Printer

Author Pick:

The Epson Expression Premium XP-6000 Small-in-One Printer ($149.99) is a skilled little section level All-in-One (print, duplicate, check) inkjet intended for locally situated and family workplaces with light-obligation printing needs. Like the Editors' Choice Canon Pixma TS9120, the XP-6000 is a photograph driven machine fit for printing vast, borderless photographs. Notwithstanding, the Canon model's more strong list of capabilities and lower ink costs are all that anyone could need to legitimize its $50 higher rundown cost. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you basically require a fundamental, reasonable AIO for light-obligation use in a home office, the XP-6000 is a strong decision. 

Epson Expression Premium XP-6000 Small-in-One Printer

Little and Capable 

Estimating 5.6 by 13.7 by 19.8 inches (HWD) and measuring a slight 14.6 pounds, the Epson XP-6000 is, as its name infers, little for an All-in-One (AIO) printer, However, Canon, HP, and Brother every single offer model in about the same (or littler) size and weight. The Canon TS9120, for instance, weighs about the same and is around 7 inches shorter inside and out, just like the Canon Pixma TS8120, a stage down from the TS9120. HP's closest photograph driven model to the XP-6000 is the Envy Photo 7155 All-in-One Printer, which is simply marginally more extensive however generally comparable in measure. 

The XP-6000's paper taking care of is one of its all the more frustrating perspectives. Its principle source is a 100-sheet plate at the base of the undercarriage, and within that you'll locate a little plate for stacking up to 20 premium photograph paper sheets. The yield plate holds only 50 pages imprinted on plain paper. Both the Canon TS9120and TS8120, then again, accompany a 200-sheet paper limit split between two 100-sheet drawers, and the HP 7155 has just a single paper cabinet that holds 125 sheets of plain paper and 15 sheets of premium photograph paper. 


Like Canon, Epson has quit distributing greatest month to month obligation cycle and prescribed month to month print volume for its buyer review printers. For printers in this class, the obligation cycle has a tendency to be around 1,000 to 2,000 pages for every month. 

It's likewise essential to take note of that none of these machines, including the XP-6000, accompany programmed record feeders (ADFs) for filtering and replicating two-sided reports. As such, you'll need to check each side of a two-sided unique physically. On the off chance that you require an ADF on your customer review photograph printer, you'll require a higher-end AIO, for example, Epson's own particular Expression Photo HD XP-15000. 

You control the XP-6000 through a little, tilting control board that traverses the front of the skeleton. It comprises of Power, Home, Back, show route, and duplicate control catches, which are tied down by a 2.4-inch non-contact shading screen. A bigger touch screen would be more pleasant, however this one functions admirably enough. I ought to likewise say that the XP-6000 accompanies a plate and software for marking fittingly surfaced CDs and DVDs, and making gem case embeds. 

To some degree Limited Connectivity 

With the absence of close field correspondence (NFC) for shared portable systems administration, and also Ethernet wired systems administration, the Epson XP-6000's availability alternatives are not exactly as hearty as a portion of its rivals (the Canon TS9120 accompanies Ethernet, for instance). Then again, most locally established printers interface through either Wi-Fi or to a solitary PC by means of USB, both of which the XP-6000 backings. 


In the Epson Connect package, you get Epson Email Print, Epson Remote Print, Epson Scan to Cloud, Epson iPrint App (iOS, Android), Epson Print and Scan App (Windows), and Creative Print App (iOS, Android) And other outsider availability alternatives incorporate Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Android printing, Fire OS printing, Mopria Print Service, and Easy Photo Scan. You can likewise sweep to and print from different sizes of USB and SD streak memory drives. 

Passage Level Performance 

Epson rates the XP-6000 at 15.8 monochrome pages for every moment (ppm) and 11.3ppm for shading pages. I tried it over USB from our standard Intel Core i5 PC testbed running Windows 10 Professional. It printed our standard 12-page monochrome Microsoft Word test report at the rate of 13.3ppm, around 2.5ppm slower than its rating. Those paces are just a point or two behind those of the Canon TS9120 and TS8120, and the HP 7155 came in around 3ppm slower than our XP-6000 test unit. 

The XP-6000 performed far and away superior to these contenders when printing our vivid Acrobat, Excel, and PowerPoint reports loaded down with business graphics and photographs. When I joined its score from the above test with those from printing the records just specified, it beat at 6.2ppm. That is 1.5ppm speedier than both Pixmas talked about here, 2.3ppm snappier than Epson's XP-1500, and 2.4ppm quicker than the HP 7155. 

As you'd anticipate from a photograph situated inkjet AIO, the XP-6000 printed our example 4-by-6-inch previews rapidly. Its normal score of 27 seconds for each photograph is profoundly focused, beating every one of the four of the other shopper review photograph AIOs talked about in this audit. What's likewise vital here, however, is the manner by which well the XP-6000 prints pictures. 

Great Expression Premium Photographs 

The present purchaser review photograph prepared AIOs print uncommon quality photos, and Epson's five and six ink Expression Premium models are, alongside Canon's Pixma TS models, among the best. Notwithstanding the standard four shading (cyan, red, yellow, and dark, or CMYK) inks, the XP-6000 conveys a "Photograph Black" ink, that, as indicated by Epson, enhances and obscures dark territories in photographs. (My experience is that it likewise appears to upgrade grayscale pictures.) HP's Envy Photo models, then again, utilize just four inks, which, contrasted and the five and six ink machines, renders to some degree dull (and not exactly as point by point) pictures. 

The XP-6000 additionally produced incredible looking full shading business graphics, however I noticed some minor banding in a few designs containing dull or slope foundations, yet absolutely insufficient to damage the general quality. Content, as well, looked fine, sufficiently reasonable for most homework as well as business applications.

Over the top Running Costs 

Customer review photograph AIOs cost more to use than the normal business inkjet show, and the XP-6000 is no special case. It is, in any case, because of that fifth ink, hard to ascertain the genuine running expenses. There's no real way to judge when that fifth ink cartridge kicks in or what amount is utilized when it does, I can't nail down what the Photo Black ink tank adds to the general cost per page; however I think, since it seems to send for the most part when printing photographs, that for most pages it's very little. 


All things considered, I computed the per-page cost utilizing just the four procedure hues. When you utilize Epson's most noteworthy yield tanks for this printer (550 dark pages and 650 shading), running costs turn out to around 4.7 pennies for monochrome pages and 18.1 pennies for each shading, which is very high. When I forgot the fifth and 6th inks while computing the Pixma TS9120 and TS8120 (and the Epson XP-15000's two extra inks), I got comparable running expenses, particularly for monochrome print occupations. 

In the event that you would prefer not to pay these high continuous expenses, however, there are a few alternatives, including purchasing a mass ink AIO, for example, Epson's five-ink Expression Premium ET-7700 EcoTank All-in-One Supertank Printer or one of HP's Envy Photo models. The ET-7700, however it costs three to four times more than the XP-6000, conveys running expenses of under 1 penny for both monochrome and shading pages. Without a doubt, you'll need to print around 1,000 or so pages every month to compensate at the first buy cost, however once that unique cost is made up, you're taking a gander at huge long haul investment funds. 

HP's Instant Ink spares you cash particularly on the off chance that you print a considerable measure of photographs, in light of the fact that with this arrangement, you pay a level rate for each page, regardless of how much ink it employments. As it were, with HP's exceptional Instant Ink program, a 8 by 10 inch borderless photograph that may cost a dollar or more in ink scope on another printer will cost you 3.5 pennies. 

Skilled for Light-Duty Use 

Regardless of its low cost and minute impression, the XP-6000 is, when utilized as a part of light-obligation situations a proficient little printer/copier/scanner. Yield quality is very great generally, and print speeds are respectable. Assuming, be that as it may, you require bring down running costs, you should need to consider one of Epson's EcoTank machines, for example, the ET-7700. It will cost you more forthright, however will, as long as you utilize it regularly, pay for itself after some time. HP's Instant Ink-prepared photograph driven AIOs, for example, the Envy Photo 7155, will spare you cash, as well, yet the prints aren't exactly as dynamic. The Editors' Choice Canon Pixma TS9120 will set you back an extra $50, yet more than compensates for it in its extra highlights. (Note that at the season of this composition, there was just a $10 road value distinction between the TS9120 and XP-6000.) 

On the off chance that all you require from your locally established or family customer review photograph AIO, however, is great quality prints at dependable rates and humble print and duplicate volumes, the Epson Expression Premium XP-6000 Small-in-One Printer should work well for you.
