The Epson Expression Photo XP-8800 is the best first printer for art at home. It's cheap, it's simple, and it makes genuinely lovely letter-size photo and art prints with a 6-color dye set — plus it scans and copies, so it earns its place as a household all-in-one.Read K

Quick note: The Epson XP-8800 uses dye ink, which I don’t personally consider archival in the same way as pigment ink. That said, prints can still last for decades (based on Epson’s testing) depending on how they’re displayed. Pigment printers like the Epson P900 do have the edge for long-term longevity and are generally considered the standard for archival giclée prints.Watch
