Our take on the Epson Expression Photo XP-980 Wireless Wide-Format Printer

The Expression Photo XP-980 is a wide-format inkjet all-in-one that prints up to 11x17 inches using six Claria Photo HD inks, a wider gamut than the four-ink printers most homes own. It copies and scans too, and a 4.3-inch touchscreen with Easy Mode handles setup and everyday jobs. It suits photo hobbyists, scrapbookers and families printing posters and albums. Against cheaper photo printers it wins on size and color depth; against Epson's own EcoTank models it loses badly on ink running costs, and it has no document feeder.

Questions and answers

Does the XP-980 print 11x17 borderless?
Yes. It handles media up to 11x17 inches and supports borderless printing on many photo and fine-art papers. Check the paper type you plan to use against Epson's supported media list.
How many ink cartridges does it use?
Six: photo black, cyan, magenta, yellow, light cyan and light magenta. That is what gives it the wider color range, but it also means six cartridges to buy and replace.
Can I print from my phone?
Yes. It has built-in Wi-Fi and works with the Epson Smart Panel app, plus standard mobile printing from iOS and Android devices.
Does it scan and copy?
Yes, it is an all-in-one with a flatbed scanner for copying and scanning. There is no automatic document feeder, so multi-page jobs are done sheet by sheet.
Is it good for everyday document printing?
It can print documents at around 11 pages per minute in mono, but it is tuned for photos. For high-volume text printing, an EcoTank or laser model costs less to run.
What comes in the box?
The printer, a set of starter ink cartridges, a power cord and setup documentation. A USB cable and paper are usually not included.
