Just in time for back to school, the new EPSON Expression Home XP-400 is perfect for your student’s homework, projects, or just printing great quality pictures for their locker!  Here is what this small but powerful printer has to offer…

The EPSON Expression Home XP-400 Small-in-One is designed for simplicity, delivering an intuitive and abundant feature-set at an affordable price. Offering a 2.5″ color LCD for easy PC-free photo printing, instant-drying DURABrite Ultra ink, and quiet operation, this compact unit is built to perform. Plus, the new smallin-one comes equipped with EPSON Connect, Apple AirPrint
and Google Cloud Print for convenient wireless printing on-the-go from smartphones, tablets and more. The Expression Home XP-400 delivers superior quality and performance with stunning photos and sharp text for all your everyday projects.

Convenient Mobile Printing with EPSON Connect Epson offers several free ways to print and scan from anywhere. With EPSON Connect, conveniently print documents, photos, e-mails and web pages from the comfort of the couch or office, or even across the globe. All you need is a new EPSON all-in-one and your smartphone, tablet or computer.

o Email Print – send documents and photos directly to an Epson printer’s
unique e-mail address to easily print from a smartphone or other mobile device
o EPSON iPrint – Print web pages, Microsoft Office documents, photos, and PDFs over a wireless network anytime with this free app; also scan and save files on your device, send it as an e-mail or upload it to a cloud service such as Box.net, Dropbox, Evernote or Google Docs
o Apple AirPrint – Print emails, photos, web pages, and documents from an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch; no software, drivers or cables to connect
o Google Cloud Print – Print from an Android smartphone or tablet with a Gmail or Google Docs account and other supported apps; also print from Chromebooks and the Google Chrome browser

This printer came at a perfect time for us!  Our other printer ran out of ink, and I was so thankful to have this as a back up.  My oldest started high school last week and has already been flooded with homework!  He has had different projects and assignments, all of which have required a printer.  The Epson Expression XP-400 has been a lifesaver!  Our printer is downstairs in our office, but he is able to print directly from his computer upstairs without saving his work on a USB drive or emailing it to himself.  Plus it is super fast!  I can also print out pictures from my iPhone in a matter of seconds.  This really comes in handy with the “all about you” projects where my kids need to bring in pictures of themselves.  It saves me a trip to the one-hour photo!  One of my favorite things about this printer is that when one of the colors runs out of ink, I don’t have to replace the whole cartridge!  My old printer would always run out of red before the other two colors.  I would end up spending over $30 on a color cartridge when the blue and yellow were almost full!  The ink is also reasonably priced.  The Epson Expression XP-400 is a great printer and I would recommend it to anyone!

The Epson Expression XP-400 retails for approximately $99 and can be purchased on Amazon or at your favorite electronics or retail store.
