Still, the bit we care about here is photo printing, and this is where the XP-970 shines. 10x8in prints emerged in 96 seconds, but the prints were worth the wait, with lifelike colours, excellent tonal range, deep shadows and vibrant greens and reds. 6x4in prints took 10 seconds less to arrive, but could have come straight from a photo lab, while A3 prints took a little longer at 2mins 20secs for a print.

What should I do? The print quality isn’t up to the extremely high standard of the most expensive photo printers on this list, but still produces impressive-looking results. Few printers come with more connectivity options than the XP-970. The Small-in-One's standard interfaces are Ethernet, USB 2.0 for plugging into a single PC, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct for making peer-to-peer connections to mobile devices without needing a local network. You also get support for most flavors of SD and mini SD cards, the memory devices of choice for most digital cameras and smartphones. There’s a lot to love about this new Epson printer, although it’s incredibly similar to the previous XP-960 model. It works very well as a standalone printer and photocopier, with intuitive touchscreen controls. Going large to A3/wide format printing makes your photos look much more imposing, and the print quality itself is very good.

Finally, the XP-970 printed our detailed and colorful 4 by 6-inch test snapshots in an average 33 seconds apiece, which is middle-of-the-road performance for a consumer-grade photo printer. Worth Waiting ForThe four dye-based inks for photo printing naturally have a smaller gamut (or color space) than in Epson’s competing photo printers that use six dye-based inks but, even so, the Canon’s color rendition looks very lifelike and natural for everything from portrait skin tones to vibrant landscapes. Ease of use is generally a strong point. Epson’s driver interface is on the cluttered side, but the options are logically laid out, and the XP-970’s touchscreen interface makes configuration, copying and scanning a breeze. It is a mite annoying that you have to regularly reassure the printer that it’s finished a print job or selected the right sort of paper in the tray – but even that’s better than other printers that give you too little information and no indication as to why a job just failed.

Multifunction printers, or MFPs, have a built-in scanner and can operate as a printer, a scanner and a copier. Many A3 printers come with all these functions, particularly if they’re designed for an office or home office. However, make sure your MFP has the right size scanner for your needs, as some cheaper A3 MFPs only have A4 scanner beds; if you want to make A3 scans as well as prints, you’ll need a model with an A3 scanner.

I tried to install the product in Windows with a wireless connection, but the installation failed. What should I do? It has a generous 200-sheet paper tray for A4 paper but can only store A3 paper in the rear feed. While it isn’t quite as adept at printing on plain paper as you might hope, it will certainly cope if your main focus is large photos and you don’t want a second printer for all your other print jobs. If you really can’t be bothered to read the rest of the review, then here’s a spoiler: the XP-970 really does churn out great quality A3 prints. It also has all the essential features you could ask for at the price, including trays for photo media and a 5760 x 1440dpi six-colour printing system that uses Epson’s Claria Photo HD inks. The main paper trays only hold up to A4 paper, but the rear paper feed takes A3 sheets. In short, you get an affordable printer for more modestly proportioned 6×4 and 8×10 prints, but you can stretch to the larger format for framing or exhibition prints. We use the various available quality modes, including optional image enhancement features. We also create prints from our own specially created test chart, to test the printer's accuracy in terms of color reproduction, tonal range, retention of detail in bright highlights and dark shadows, and the ability to deliver smooth gradations in subtle color variations. The printer manufacturer’s own-brand inks and papers are used throughout the entire testing procedure.
