Epson Expression Home XP-420 review

The Epson Expression Home XP-420 is worth your attention if you're shopping for a fast, reliable printer in the sub-$100 category that fits in tight spaces. This compact "small-in-one" (as Epson brands it) inkjet printer can print, copy and scan along...

Supports a full suite of connectivity options including Wi-Fi and cloud printing services from Apple and Google, fast print speeds and excellent output quality.

Lacks Pictbridge-compatible USB port.

Don't be fooled by its small stature: the Epson Expression Home XP-420 all-in-one inkjet printer forges ahead of the competition with its compact footprint, cloud connectivity options and its ability to print high-quality snapshots directly from an...

Epson Expression Home XP-420 review

Good features for the price ; Uses separate ink tanks for each color ; Large color LCD panel for a low-cost MFP ; Slot for printing directly from an SD card

Output okay, but not really photo quality ; On the slow side ; No ADF or duplexing

The old adage that “You get what you pay for” definitely applies to the Expression Home XP-420. It’s somewhat slow compared to many other inkjets, and output quality, while fine for reports and such, suffers when printing photos. The standard 220 ink...

Epson Expression Home XP-420 Small-in-One

Meant primarily as a multifunction printer for home use, the modestly priced Epson Expression Home XP-420 Small-in-One offers lots of features and better-than-expected text quality.

Inexpensive. Compact. Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct. Prints from, and scans, to memory cards. High-quality text output in testing.

No duplexer, fax, or automatic document feeder. Lacks Ethernet.

Conclusion If you need better photo quality than the Epson Expression Home XP-420 Small-in-One delivers, consider the Canon Pixma MG5620 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer . Alternatively, if you want a printer that's more office-oriented, be sure to...

Epson XP-420

Partnered with three separate ink tanks, average ink refill costs, and a generous bundle of desktop and mobile software to guide you along the way, the $99 list price (£89.99 in the UK, AU$120 in Australia) Epson Expression Home XP-420 should be at the...

Epson XP 420 is a nice product

Anything which has good functionality and handy attracts basic home needs but if it comes to offices and other firms, then it is not the ideal piece

Complete Home Package and very handy

Not for Office use. It is a handy set

"Frustrating alignment issues on nearly daily basis."

When I bought this printer I was hoping to get away from HP's assining print cartridge restrictions. For $100 the Epson looked to have most of the functions I wanted. I don't need to print very often. Maybe 1 to 2 prints a day, someimes just every...

Small, cheap, nice computer integration, wireless.

Print heads have to be aligned daily.
