Questions about Epson Expression Photo XP-970

Yes, you can print documents as normal with this printer. The printer supports various paper formats, including A4 and A3, which is suitable for printing documents. As for ink consumption, this depends on the print settings and the frequency of printing. Normal paper is sufficient for printing documents, but special papers can improve the quality.

The printer is not directly compatible with Linux as Epson does not provide specific Linux drivers for the model. However, there is third-party software such as TurboPrint that enables printing on Linux but does not support the scanner function. For the scanner function, VueScan could be an alternative as it runs on Linux and supports various scanners.

I have the printer since November 2022 and still working fine...

Since this could possibly be a hardware fault, the item must be returned as "defective". But since it no longer has a box, I can't say how Digitec handles this. I would check with Digitec support. The printer itself is very good. I would recommend it again. And any product can have faults. LG

Yes, you need the elephant cartridge for this printer

Yes! A pull-out paper tray at the front for up to A4, A3 is loaded at the back.

This epson has no eco tank, so no epson sub colours or cartridges can be filled in. What you can do is buy simple transfer ribbons for inkjet.

I use mac....

Point 1 - Half-filled cartridges Point 2 - I always use Canon when I do long lasting prints, the most expensive and the one from Hahnemühle. Point 3 - I order my cartridges from G.....ch - cost a fraction, not original; but have not noticed any significant differences so far; not on long term daylight permanence though.

Wifi 6 - Excerpt from Computerworld (Maybe it will help you) Wireless into the net 18.07.2019, 17:30 Uhr This changes with the new WLAN standard Wi-Fi 6 The new Wi-Fi standard IEEE 802.11ax is in the starting blocks. Technical improvements are introduced and cryptic designations are finally abolished. WLAN (Source: Georgejmclittle / Shutterstock.com) For years, Wi-Fi standards have been revised and improved. Data throughput is increasing, connections are stabilising and interference from other devices is decreasing. These Wi-Fi standards go by the name IEEE 802.11, followed by an abbreviation. The current WLAN standard is called 802.11ac and will soon be replaced by 802.11ax. Wi-Fi 6 Symbol for the new Wi-Fi 6. Source: Wi-Fi Alliance Furthermore, with the new technology What will change with the new Wi-Fi 6 WLAN standard? What Wi-Fi 6 can do As with any new WLAN standard, the focus is on the speed and reliability of the connection. Wi-Fi 5 was already adopted in December 2013; at that time, video streams in 4K were still dreams of the future and 50 GB games were purchased exclusively on shimmering discs. Today, such data volumes are considered normal and should be able to be handled by any modern household. Netgear RAX80 The Netgear RAX80 Nighthawk is among the compatible routers. Source: Netgear Wi-Fi 6 will widen technical bottlenecks and be up to 30 per cent faster. In the 5 GHz network, up to 1200 Mbit per second and antenna can be transmitted. In the 2.4 GHz network, 287 Mbit per second are possible. In flats and single-family homes, 5-GHz networks are usually not a challenge, so a router with four antennas can transmit 600 MB per second wirelessly under the best conditions. At first glance, the question of sense may arise, because hardly any private internet connection can manage 600 MB per second. However, internal networking also benefits when data is copied from the notebook to the network storage (NAS) or several people access the network at the same time. Wi-Fi 6 also increases the range. In addition, one router serves more devices at the same time - this is just as important for hotels as for shopping centres, schools or companies. Available devices End devices that support Wi-Fi 6 should make their debut across the board this year. Existing devices will remain compatible. In any case, a new router that supports 802.11ax or Wi-Fi 6, such as the Netgear RAX80 Nighthawk, is required for use. Wi-Fi 6 will take smartphones by storm and will be standard in better devices next year at the latest, such as the Samsung Galaxy S10, which already understands it today. It will still be a few years before the entire device fleet is sworn in to Wi-Fi 6. That shouldn't stop you from looking out for it in new hardware. ....

Looking at parameter of printer it seem possible, but I never tried it yet

I've had the printer for a few weeks now and so far I haven't had any problems with it. I haven't printed super much with it yet, but all my prints on plain paper have been flawless so far. I haven't printed any photos yet.
