I dont know what model you have **Q: Is it a a3 or a4 because it says conflicting information in its description "compact and versatile: print up to a3" "maximum supported paper size a4"** A: I think what it means is that you can store A4 paper in the feeders in the printer, so nothing needed to start printing. Printing A3 requires you to use the external feed at the back of the printer, and you have to actually set this up by deploying the paper feeder, then introducing the A3 paper to the feeder. It is an A3 printer, and a good one. Hope this helps. **Q: Does 970 print black and white well?** A: Yes, professional quality. I used to sell A3 prints at local market. **Q: How many full colour a3 pages can be printed roughly before you run out of ink? (xp-970). Thanks..** A: No idea really. It depends on what you’re printing and how much black is in the image/text. Also depends on what size cartridge you’re using. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic printer if you take the time to setup correctly. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 12 September 2025* As someone who frequently juggles home office documents, the kids school projects, and a passion for printing cherished family photos and making CD/DVDs, finding a single printer that excels at all these tasks can be a challenge. After careful consideration, I invested in the Epson Expression Premium XP-6100 A4 Multifunction Wireless Inkjet Printer, and I am genuinely impressed by its capabilities. This isn't just a printer; it's a versatile creative hub, deserving of its "Premium" moniker.Documents: For everyday text documents, the dedicated pigment black ink delivers crisp, sharp, laser-like text that is incredibly easy to read and looks professional. Even fine print retains remarkable clarity.Graphics & Presentations: When it comes to charts, graphs, and colour documents, the vibrant dye inks truly pop. Colours are accurately reproduced, with smooth gradations and excellent saturation, making presentations and reports visually engaging.Photo Printing (The Star of the Show!): This is where the XP-6100 truly excels. With its additional photo black ink, the printer produces stunning, gallery-worthy prints. The depth of colour, the fine detail, and the smooth tonal transitions are truly exceptional, rivalling outputs from dedicated photo printers. Whether it's a vibrant landscape, a detailed portrait, or a black and white print, the results are consistently breath-taking. I've printed numerous photos on various Epson photo papers, and each time, I'm genuinely surprised by how professional they look. Borderless printing is a breeze and adds to that premium feel.Now, for a vital piece of advice that will ensure you unlock the XP-6100's full potential: take your time with the initial setup.Like any sophisticated piece of technology, proper setup is paramount. It’s not overly complicated, but rushing through the steps could lead to less-than-optimal results down the line. Read the Instructions, go through the included setup guide carefully, step by step. Epson has made it quite visual and easy to follow. Setting up the wifi was a breeze, helped by step by step instructions on the printer screen.If you're looking for a versatile device that delivers professional-grade results for both everyday documents and cherished memories, and you're willing to invest a little care into its initial setup, the XP-6100 comes with my enthusiastic and wholehearted recommendation. It’s a truly premium experience. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic product (with a few minor gripes) *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 December 2024* UPDATE: Everything below, I stand by. However after using this printer for a few months now it is quite frustrating how slow it is, not slow in actual printing, but slow in getting ready to print, particularly discs. After using the Print CD software, and you press print it takes a while for the printer to realise you want to print something, then it starts making noises, presumably to move internal parts to allow CD printing. Only once it has stopped making noise can you push the CD tray in and then after another adjustment of some kind it will begin to print. From clicking print, to the start of the printing takes about 20 to 30 seconds, Ok so not an absolute age but something I think worth noting.This is an amazing printer, I must confess I am an Epson fan and have never owned any other brand. I bought this purely to print A3 photos and artwork, I own 2 other Epson A4 printers and they have served me well, so stuck with the brand.This is a very smart looking printer, very clean lines, not too big, in fact only about 3cms wider than my A4 but same height and depth. Wi-Fi is simple to set up, took about 3 minutes using push button (WPS) method. Print quality is exceptional, even borderless. The LCD screen is very clear and bright, and very easy to understand and navigate. The front automatically flips up when power is turned on, the paper outfeed tray is also automatic and comes out when needed. It has 3 paper feed trays, 1 at the rear and 2 in the front, this is very useful as you could keep different size papers in each tray, saving you the trouble of swapping paper, you could keep A4 in one tray and 6x4 photo paper in the other, the rear feed is primarily used for A3 although it adjusts to any size. You will need to tell the printer which tray you want to use via the print dialogue box that pops up on your PC (after installing the supplied software) Make sure you set correct paper size.The minor gripes. When printing onto A3 using the rear paper feed, you must wait until you have sent the job to the printer, before placing paper in the feed, you can not have paper already waiting in the feed tray, you can only print 1 at a time. You can choose to print more than 1 but you have to go through the same process as printing just one, ie wait until instructed to place paper in the rear feed, this sounds like a headache, but really is not too bad, just time consuming.The CD tray is not motorised as in my (older) A4 printer, possibly lack of room because of the 2 paper trays, this is a minor gripe really as slotting it in is extremely simple, the CD tray is stored below the paper trays at the front. Again not a major issue.Features I have not used yet are printing from SD card using the onboard slot. I have not used the Photo+, nor Photo+ tool, or Scansmart. All of these utilities are on the supplied installation disc.Overall an exceptional printer, smart looking, easy to operate, great features, excellent print quality. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great printer and good value *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 January 2026* This printer is very good and will do everything needed by a home printer / scanner really well. It produces good quality photos and black and white prints. It is a step up from the previous XP 640 I had and is fairly quick when printing documents. The set up is very easy if you use the online drivers and software from the genuine Epson website. One thing to take care with is if you use non-Epson cartridges. Epson has made recent firmware updates which prevent most third party cartridges working at all. If you buy this printer, do not make any firmware updates and block all such updates. Instructions how to do this are widely available on the web or YouTube. Updates to the software are fine and don't affect this. The XP 7100 is perfect for all home needs but Epson ink is expensive. Great if you use non-Epson ink. ## Frequently Bought Together - Epson Expression Photo XP-970 A3 Multifunction Wireless Inkjet Printer - Epson 24 Elephant Genuine Multipack, Eco-Friendly Packaging, 6-colours Claria Photo HD Ink Cartridges --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/157280024-expression-photo-xp-970-a3-multifunction-wireless-inkjet-printer](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/157280024-expression-photo-xp-970-a3-multifunction-wireless-inkjet-printer) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
