Epson Expression Printers Turns Summer Memories into
Priceless Keepsakes
Summer Vacation Photos Become Personalized Souvenirs with
Expression Small-in-One Printers and Creative Print App
LONG BEACH, Calif. – July 12, 2016 – Each year, Americans
make over 650 million long-distance trips between Memorial Day and Labor Day1.
Whether a trip to the mountains, an outdoor music festival or relaxing sea-side
escape, summer vacations are captured by photos then shared with family and
friends on social media. But too often they get lost in crowded newsfeeds.
Instead of letting those incredible summer memories fade into the cloud, print
them to create meaningful keepsakes that will be treasured for years to come.
Epson® Expression® Home and Premium Small-in-One® printers make it easy to
create do-it-yourself (DIY) photo souvenirs to commemorate those special summer
memories. Plus, with the enhanced Epson Creative Print App, users can print
directly from Facebook as well as create and print collages with favorite
Instagram photos.
“Summer vacations are an enjoyable time for family and
friends without the distraction of home,” said Monika Dees, senior product
marketing manager, Consumer Ink Jets, Epson America, Inc. “These trips often
turn into long lasting memories, and the photos we take to capture special
moments need to last as well. Whether printing photos for a frame, scrapbook or
gift, Expression Home and Premium printers, such as the XP-430 and XP-830, are
ideal creativity tools to help create beautifully printed, tangible family
memories for years to come.”

My Thoughts:
Epson was kind enough to send me one of their fantastic printers, the Epson Expression Home XP-430 Small-in-One® Printer for this review. This quality product is easy to use, user friendly, fast, and affordable. I loved how easy it was to set up and use. The screen itself can be navigated using the back and fourth buttons. All I had to do was put in my WiFi password and it immediately was ready for use for anything that needed to printed via the internet. What I also loved was that the printer came with two cords. One for hooking the printer up to the wall and one to hook directly up to your laptop. You can also print photos directly from you Smartphone or tablet.
Epson also included all the ink needed as well! I was very impressed with that since ink is usually what people worry about when it comes to printers. Epson has always made their ink affordable however! That's one thing I love about their products, along with the lasting power and fantastic performance.
A few other great pluses in this product include a SD card reader right in the front of the printer. You can scan and make copies as well. The size of the printer overall is not too large, so it won't take up too much space. It is also pretty light weight! For those that love Facebook, there is an option to scan photos to there or to cloud. Quality features such as red eye removal and photo restoration are available as well. Very unique additions for a product so affordable! The only additional thing I do wish was included was a paper manual. Other than that, this was an incredible addition to my home! We're a family that loves photography.
Overall, I was extremely impressed by the quality of performance and photos received! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new printer! Thank you Epson for the ability to try this out!
