Warning to Epson printer owners. Many well known third party companies claim their inkjet printing papers are compatible with all Epson inkjet printers. Epson has reports from many customers who have used third party paper and have been very disappointed with the results. When the same customers have changed to genuine Epson paper, they have been amazed and pleased with the colour and quality of their prints. Epson recommends that you do not use any non genuine printing papers if you want to get the best results from your Epson printer. Epson printers are very carefully tuned to ensure Epson inks and Epson's patented MicroPiezo ™ printhead produce the best quality prints using carefully selected Epson paper.

Equipment supplied by Epson Australia is designed to function in conjunction with genuine Epson consumables and accessories specifically configured for it. As an A4 printer with three-in-one functionality (print, scan, copy), the Epson XP-8600 will suit home users looking to print photographs that are long-lasting and highly detailed. Helping you to enjoy vivid and vibrant photo prints is the six-ink system used by a machine that can even print on CDs and DVDs. The two front-loading paper trays make it easy to switch between print jobs and there’s even the chance to access images stored on a memory card.
