Epson XP-422 Ink Cartridges

Epson XP-422 Printer Description

As one of the many machines that make up Epson’s range of small-in-one printers, the Epson Expression Home XP-422 is able to print, scan and copy.

Backed by the wireless functionality that will see it welcomed in family homes, this device offers mobile printing so it can be accessed from various rooms in the house. There is an additional cost saving to be made as the XP-422 uses individual ink cartridges so that you only need to replace the ink that’s been used.

In terms of the print results offered by this machine, Epson Claria Home Ink will ensure document prints display clear text whilst photos will have the kind of lab-quality look you’ll want to keep.

Configuring laptops and PCs to print wirelessly is a straight forward task thanks to the printer’s automatic Wi-Fi set up. This will see the printer find the relevant connection settings automatically in order to configure itself.

Fans of Facebook are able to print off their photos from the social media site thanks to Epson Creative Print. Also, Epson Email print will allow documents and photographs to be emailed directly to the printer from anywhere around the world.

Ease of use is helped by a 6.4cm LCD screen along with a touch panel and memory card slot.

Epson XP-422 Expert Review

For home users, the Epson Expression XP-422 will provide the results and functionality to fulfil the needs of those who are looking for an easy to use, compact printer.

A maximum print resolution of 5760 x 1440dpi will contribute to the type of results you’ll be pleased with. There is also a pleasing cost saving to be made through using the XP-422. Not only does the machine use individual ink cartridges, it’s also able to accept XL versions so you can help your printing go further.

For those looking for the high volume printing often required for a home office, a 100-sheet capacity may feel a little limited.

Print speeds (ISO) are 9ppm for monochrome and 4.5ppm for colour and so will be more than adequate for families looking to print documents. A 10 x 15cm photo will be produced in 38 seconds.

As is the case with the machines described by Epson as a small-in-one, the XP-422 has a small footprint that can see it easily accommodated on a desktop.
