Save big with the Expression ET-2550 EcoTank All-in-One Printer

As the mom of two kids in school it seems like we are always printing something. Whether it's a multi-page book report, or color photos for a special project we are constantly printing. If you've ever purchased printer ink you know that the cost can add up fast. I've always felt like we run out at the most inopportune times too. You know when you need to print an important report and don't have a back up cartridge on hand. Living in the country there's no where to pick up ink quick when you need it either. Plus if you don't catch it on sale it can really be pricey.

Thankfully Epson knows what it's like to be a parent with a house with printing needs. So much so they came out with the Expression ET-2550 EcoTank All-in-One Printer. It's not your typical printer either. Instead of having costly cartridges to replace when you run out of ink it comes with refillable ink tanks. And to top it off the printer comes with enough ink for up to two years of printing! That's the equivalent to about 20 ink cartridge sets. Wow...I mean WOW! This mom is definitely excited to see just how long the ink lasts. The print quality is superior and super easy to do from a wireless computer, tablet, or even your cell phone!

Printing fun with the Epson Expression Home XP-430 Small-in-One® Printer

I'm not sure these days what I'm enjoying more my new Epson Expression Home XP-430 Small-in-One® Printer or the new Epson Creative Print App. Between the two I won't ever be bored that's for sure. My new printer is so compact I now have alot more space on top of my desk...and well as you know that means a space I can fill with something fun. I decided to use the new Epson Creative Print App and make a coloring page for my daughter to color. Then with the finished product I put it in a frame and filled up that empty space.

I have to say this app is probably one of my favorites, we've really gotten into coloring in my house and with the app you can convert any photo on your phone into a black and white coloring page! Since I downloaded it I've started taking different photos when out with my phone just to see how they would turn out as a coloring page. It really gives you a whole new outlook when you see something in beautiful in nature. Plus with the easy to use Epson Expression printer I can print photos from any room of my house and they are ready in no time for me to color and enjoy. The print quality is as good as any coloring book I've used so far, so I'm enjoying making my own pages so I can color photos I want instead of stock ones.

Save valuable desk space with the Epson Expression Premium XP-820 Small-in-One

I don't know about you, but it seems like the space on my desk just keeps getting smaller and smaller. I'm one of those people that likes to always stay organized, but I also like to have everythign I need at an arms reach. And one of those things I like to keep close by as a scrabooker is my printer. I like to have the ability to print a photo at a moments notice if I need it. Thanks to the Epson Expression Premium XP-820 Small-in-One printer I can have my photos, and my desk too! I say that because it only takes up a 15.4" x 13.3" space on my desk. And having it sit on top of my desk makes it right within reach.

Leveraging Epson’s MicroPiezo printing technology and Claria Premium inks, the XP-820 delivers unbeatable photo quality for vivid, smudge resistant photos up to 8" x 10", plus high-quality CD/DVDs. Do more with the 30-page Automatic Document Feeder and auto 2-sided printing, copying, scanning and faxing. Plus, it prints 4" x 6" photos in as fast as 12 seconds. A dedicated photo tray and specialty paper support offer easy printing for photos, envelopes and more. This ultra slim all-in-one features the ultimate connectivity. Print from smartphones and tablets, or scan photos to Facebook® or the cloud. Breeze through any task with the 4.3" touchscreen, featuring gesture navigation.

Since I do a lot of printing for both everyday documents as well as photos for scrabooking I love that it comes equipped with two separate areas for standard paper as well as photo paper. That means I don't have to switch from standard to photo paper between jobs, it's all set and ready to go. It even has a memory card slot so I don't even need my computer to print photos from my camera, and with the built-in wireless feature I can even print from my iPhone from any room of my house! Now that's productivity.

Some Key Features I Love:
Compact size with full function
Auto 2- sided printing
Borderless photos up to 8" x 10"
Ultimate wireless that works with virtually all electronics
Memory card slot
Individual ink cartridges (saves me lots of money only replacing the color I need)
Dedicated photo paper and CD/DVD trays
4.3" touchscreen for direct printer use
True All-in-One technology with Print/Copy/Scan/Fax

I could really spend even more time just listing all of the great features I love about my new Small-in-One. It was super easy to set up and connected to my wireless network with just a few simple steps through the touchscreen. I'm so glad to have a printer that does so many different things, but doesn't take up any extra space on my desk.

My Take: 
I received the Epson Expression Home XP-400 for my home reviewing purposes. First off  I'd have to say this is the perfect sized printer. I used to have a big all-in-one printer sitting and taking up half of my desk space. But now thanks to Epson and this review I have a lot more space!  And this printer is so much better. It's faster, gives me better quality prints, and has so many features my old printer didn't have like being able to print right from my phone! I love it. I can print something without having to boot up my computer. I don't know about you, but I'm always browsing websites and such from my phone and had always wanted the ability to print on the spot instead of having to get the information to my computer somehow, then booting it up and retrieving the information to print what I'd originally found (1/2hr ago). Now I can just browse, and print right from the comfort of my chair!  It's amazing what you can do with something so small and compact. I sure wish these were around when I was in college with only a tiny living space!
