Try to change the paper type in the setting, set text only to monochrome as yellow is mixed with normal printing, and finally insert other paper. I also had too little black optically in it with migros paper. Mfg markus

I have bought the Epson XP-960 in the meantime. I have only printed photos so far (so I haven't tried duplex yet). But otherwise it works wonderfully with the Gutenprint printer driver.

Thanks for the info! So either it's a typo or the promotion has been extended for a year.

I have had the printer for exactly one year now, but I print larger jobs on a b/w laser printer. I therefore use the Epson XP-960 mainly for colour printing or when I need to print large formats (A3). However, in the event of a temporary breakdown of the laser printer, the Epson XP-960 has performed well even with increased print volumes. I use the XL ink tanks, these cartridges last longer. If you print a lot and want to get away from Canon, you should take a closer look at the Epson Ecotank ET-7700. According to the printer test of the magazine c't (23/2017) from the Heise publishing house, this device is recommended for frequent printers: "...If you print a lot and don't want to worry about ink, spend just under 600 euros on the Epson Ecotank ET-7700 and have peace of mind for the next few years..." And the test conclusion: "...Anyone who wants to edit photos and print them out in good quality is well advised to go with the Canon Pixma TS8150 multifunction devices and the Epson models Expression Photo XP-8500 and Ecotank ET-7700. The robust Ecotank can easily keep up with the two six-colour printers and prints at an unbeatable price. but is only worthwhile for frequent printers..." Disadvantage from my point of view: The Epson ET-7700 cannot print A3... and is of course much more expensive to buy. But the ET-7700 is cheaper to run if you have a high print volume.

I have the device running on Win10, MacOSX and IOS 11.2.1, always via WiFi. Prints excellently and even after a week's break the pictures are of high quality and without "eternal pumping". The >Quality< can be set on all drivers - as a selection with a slider between Best and Fastest, or Draft-Standard-Optimal. - I could not find an explicit dpi selection in any driver - 2.52 current, firmware PL10HB. - I need the XP-950 for photos, photo cards and thick papers - one of the few that allow "automatic duplex". For copies (it can't fax) without demands, just select "fast" in the driver. - I can't say how much this setting saves ink. - For fast and cheap, I have a colour laser; even if the XP-950 prints an A4 photo in standard quality in 20 seconds.

The product comes with all the necessary cartridges, but only in the small version; apparently you can buy XXL cartridges separately.

Yes, you can also print from Android, IOS, Chromebook, FireOS, Mac and Windows using the EpsonConnect or Epson iPrint app. ftp://download.epson-europe.com/pub/download/5136/epson513658eu.pdf
