The OEM’s US subsidiary has released the Expression Home XP-440, which “simplifies everyday creative printing”.
In a press release, Epson America commented that the “ultra-compact” and “small-in-one” device it “designed to meet the everyday printing needs of students and families”, and includes features such as a 2.7-inch colour LDC, a “built-in” card slot, and a “convenient” 100-sheet paper capacity for printing “from virtually anywhere, with or without a network connection”. The device is also compatible with Epson Creative Print, which allows for printing Facebook and Instagram photos.
The OEM also noted that the machine features “instant drying Epson DURABrite Ultra Ink”, with “smudge and water-resistant” photos alongside “paper prints [that] resist fading”, and it can also achieve “seamless connectivity” with Epson Connect for printing from iPads, iPhones and Android tablets and smartphones. The XP-440 also has Wi-Fi Direct functionality for “network-free printing”.
In terms of cartridges, the device has “affordable individual ink cartridges”, but the OEM notes that “this product uses only genuine Epson-brand cartridges. Other brands of ink cartridges and ink supplies are not compatible and, even if described as compatible, may not function properly”. Epson America concluded by noting that the device is available now for $99.99 (€92.56).
Monika Dees, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Consumer Inkjets at Epson America, commented: “The sleek and compact Expression Home XP-440 provides all the essential tools for today’s busy students and families to create, print and share with ease. Beyond easy printing, copying and scanning, compatibility with Epson Creative Print offers a new dimension of creativity for creating and printing photo collages and more directly from smartphones and tablets.”
