Very fast, very clear quality. I'm mainly going to be using this to print documents and pictures. I tried printing some pictures using some Epson Premium Photo Paper, the results were brilliant. They were exactly as those produced in shops. I don't know with other papers, haven't tried it yet. Even on plain A4 paper, the pictures came out really clear.

The set up is a little bit annoying because they don't give you a USB cable, but you can pick one up for £1 from Amazon. I haven't bothered with setting up the wireless connection, or the ethernet connection, but the scanner on it is pretty good. If you want to set up the wireless connection be prepared to do a bit of computer work, it requires a little bit of know-how. The printer and the scanner has lots of settings to tinker around with. Not as noisy as you would expect. The paper tray is a little bit fiddly but still OK overall. You have to place paper on it facing down, and not up. I made this mistake with the glossy photo paper and the printer jammed 4 times in a row until I realised what I was doing wrong, after which it worked like a charm. I think it has this feature built in to stop wasting ink printing on the wrong surface, which is pretty good.

The casing looks really nice but WILL attract dust like a magnet. I would advise keeping it covered with a towel, like I have. If you only occasionally use your printer, then covering it up against dust is a very good idea.

It's a little bit expensive, but with the free three year extended warranty it is DEFINITELY worth it, that's what sealed the deal for me. I say go for it!

Great little all in one duplex inkjet printer, 26 Dec 2010

This review is from: Epson Stylus SX525WD All-in-One Printer (Print, Scan, Copy) with Wi-Fi, Network, Duplex, LCD Screen (Electronics)

The ability to print both sides automatically from an all in one inkjet is just what I've been waiting for and luckily my old printer died just before Christmas, so I had to get myself a Christmas present, as I've been such a good girl this year!

When I first tried the duplex function I was disappointed that you have to turn the paper round yourself - but when I went into the settings a few days later I realised that I must have clicked on the manual setting for duplex printing - doh!

It prints wirelessly from both my (Windows) laptop and my iPad (via a printing app) with no problems at all. Print quality on photo paper is good and the printing is very fast. I also bought it for a bargain price (under £100) and my only gripe, as ever, is the cost of inks...

Was originally looking at purchasing the SX720WD but couldn't justify it given the price how often it would be used so settled on this SX525WD as a compromise given the generally favourable reviews & the price here on Amazon with one reviewer describing it as a mid to highend inkjet I hoped some of the kudos of the SX720WD would rub-off on it's sibling. On the whole I'm very pleased with my choice, text is pin-sharp with no heavy ink, colour reproduction is also very good my one criticism is if your printing photos this printer demands paper of the higest quality otherwise the finish is soft & somewhat grainy. Can't comment on ink usage as I haven't had it long enough but i can say I've had a good play & the levels have barely moved.
A very special mention must go to Epson, sure you can't please all the people all the time but before I purchased the SX525WD I did a bit of research on the net & on more than one occasion I came across Epson customers who'd e-mailed Epson with an enquiry only to recieve a call back. A not so insignificant detail that kept resonating with me given I was in the market for a wifi printer & so it proved with me. Couldn't see an e-mail working for me I'd made a mistake with wifi setup & needed walk-throu help so decided to give them a ring Tel-:Epson 0871 4237766 10pm from a BT landline (other manufactures take note) they were Fantastic!!!! the guy on the other end was so well informed clearly wasn't reading from a script really knew his apples & had my wifi setup in 5mins max! Brilliant customer service could't recommend them enough.

I bought this printer for my daughter this christmas. OK, she has a laptop, a mobile phone, is active on Facebook and can upload to various websites to order albums and prints, but there is nothing to beat being able to take a photo and print it immediately. The grand parents loved being able to have a family photo to take home with them and my daughter wants to create an 'old fashioned' scrap book.

The quality is excellent and the speed of printing is very acceptable for a small number of photos.

One small point, you do need to order some paper/ink cartridges with your purchase. There is no paper or ink supplied in the box. The 108 sheet supplies are the best value and work out to be roughly 24p per print. Canon KP-108in 4 X 6" Ink and Paper Set for SELPHY CP Series Photo Printers

I purchased this for my Father in law who doesn't have a PC and was interested in printing at home. Convenience for him (he's in his 80's) was more important than the cost of printing, so the higher cost of prints wasn't an issue. With my assistance he was up and printing within a couple of minutes, and the finished print quality is excellent. I would have rated this printer as 5* if it wasn't for the very poor quality display. It was VERY dark and impossible to see any detail in the image. I could not find anything in the settings to adjust this which is a serious ommission.

Im a bit of a novice with gadgets but i found this canon selphy cp800 photo printer the most easiest item to use ,the set up was easy to follow ,and straight forward i had to print my photos via the computer and as i had deleleted them from my xd card again easy instructions.
The photos were printed instantly no waiting for it to warm up just press the button and off you go.
The quality of the prints were excellant great colour and very clear i was very impressed .You can't print photos larger then 6x4 but to me that wasn't a problem .The ink cartridges are made up of joined black n white and colour so you don't need lots of individual colours as some require when i ordered the cartridges the photo paper was included and of a very good quality.
My overall review is of a brillant easy to use and smart compact photo printer with extreme clear quality ,am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend highly.

Excellent quality prints, they are also water resistant. Glad to see they have managed to get 60 prints out of a cartridge. My only gripe when I first started buying this product the reverse side of the paper was not as glossy and laid out as a postcard.

Good but Pricey, 13 Nov 2009

J. Vaughan (Worthing, England) -

This review is from: Sony Color Print Pack Print Paper and Ink Ribbon - P size - Pack of 120 sheets (Office Product)

This item was purchased to accompany a newly purchased Sony photoprinter. New to the field, one realises that maunufacturers use many different methods to produce colour prints. Some use small cartridges, both singly and in multiple, but Sony have a novel system that includes large rollers and pre-packs of paper combined in a complex single unit. Their method produces a quite bulky 'unit' that clips into the printer rather than being permanently integral. The system is not aesthetically attractive but it does work well and produces prints of very good quality. So, overall, this looks an ungainly system but it does work.

The only downside is cost. To produce 120 6" x 4" prints costs a whopping £28 ($45) or 23-24p (39c) each!! Commercially one can get prints of this size for less than 10p at numerous sites. However on the upside the cost does impose a discipline in being very selective in what you actually print. To be honest I think the product is overpriced but there are no alternatives - just as Sony cameras have their own dedicated non-universal memory stick/card. Its sharp practise in one way but in terms of company profits rather clever. I recommend the product with a price tag warning!

Sony replacement "ink" and paper, 8 Feb 2009

Mr. James W. Nash (Black Notley, UK) -

This review is from: Sony Color Print Pack Print Paper and Ink Ribbon - P size - Pack of 120 sheets (Office Product)

Sony Print Paper - 120 Sheets
This has got to be the siplest way to replace the "inks" and paper in your printer. This is specifically for the Sony Digital Photo Printers. The "inks" are on a roll, that just slides into the side of the machine.
Each roll does two packs of paper. Simple.
It is expensive, but the quality of the images are susperb.
