Which Cartridges are used in Expression Photo Printers?
These printers use either Epson 24/24XL (Elephant) or 378/378XL and 478/478XL (Squirrel) cartridges.
What is Claria Photo HD Ink?
This is a dye-based ink that is part of Epson’s wider Claria inkjet inks. Claria Photo HD is designed for printing high-quality photos at home, as it produces better prints than a standard home printer. It is particularly good for glossy photos, portraits, colour prints, and prints with smooth shading.
Photo HD ink includes the core four colours of Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. In addition to these, it also has Light Cyan and Light Magenta. However, the XP-15000 printers have a slightly different system. Instead of Light Magenta and Light Cyan inks, they include Grey and Red 478 and 478XL cartridges.
Who Should Buy an Epson Expression Photo Printer?
The Expression Photo range is best for people who print photos at home, yet need high-quality prints that are better than regular printers can offer. Uses for these printers can include family photos, portraits, greetings cards, photo album photos, and art prints.
Some printers in the range, such as the XP-8700 are also good for everyday printing. Epson describes this printer as ‘multifunction’, making it perfect for users who want to print both high-quality photos and standard text documents for home or school use.
Finally, the XP-15000 is a great choice for anyone who needs to print A3 and A3+ photos. It is also capable of printing standard A4 pages. It has a front-loading tray for A4 paper, as well as a rear-loading paper tray for sizes up to A3+.
