![]() ![]() The pigment inks have the advantage of leaving the color particles on the surface of the paper, while dye-based inks tend to soak into the paper, leaving less color on the surface. Pigment inks actually have small particles of colored material, rather than just a colored liquid (which is used in dye-based inks). The ink series used is Epson’s DURABrite Ultra, which is a pigment-based ink. The XP-410 uses the standard four colors of ink – cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, and each is contained in a separate tank, so when you run out of one color of ink you don’t wind up replacing colors where you still have ink left, which is what happens when you have a printer that uses tri-color cartridges. For example, Epson’s wide-format Pro 3880 uses nine colors of ink. Today, it is usually the number of color inks the printer uses. In the past, the major difference between a printer capable of printing photos versus a dedicated photo printer, comes down to maximum resolution. That’s not really the same as being a photo printer, which in Epson’s lineup falls within the Stylus Photo series. The XP-410 can also print on photo paper as small as 4 x 6 inches or as large as 8 x 10 inches.Įpson describes the XP-410 as being able to print photos. The XP-410 is limited to 8.5-inch wide paper, but you can use paper as long as 44 inches if you want to print banners. Paper is loaded at the top of the device, and there’s room in the paper slot for 100 sheets – fairly standard for small AIOs. ![]() Unlike many AIOs we’ve tested recently, the XP-410 does not use paper cassettes. HP’s Work from Home service brings the office printer into your homeĮpson crams wide-format printing into a compact, voice-activated photo printer When printing, you’ll need just a bit more room, since the printed output exits at the bottom front of the unit. Unpacked, the XP-410 weighs 9 pounds, making it easy to move from one place to another if necessary. The Small-in-One is an apt moniker: It uses only 15.4 x 11.8 inches on your desktop and is just 5.7 inches tall. ![]() It’s a three-function device that will print, copy, and scan, but there’s no fax or an automatic document feeder – two convenient features essential to office workers, but home users can do without if it means significant savings. The XP-410 won’t give you the features and print quality of a $400 multifunction printer, but it provides a reasonable amount of functionality for a reasonable price. We have already looked at the Expression Premium XP-800 – one of the higher-end models – but we now turn our eyes toward the bottom: the $99 Expression Home XP-410. Epson approaches this conundrum with a line of all-in-one (AIO) models it calls Expression Small-in-One, designed for home users who want to do printing, copying, and scanning. Manufacturers try to make them small and compact, as well as more visually appealing, but they can only make them so small when they are dictated by physical paper size and features. Most people find them unsightly due to their size, often hiding them behind a closet door. You’d probably want the biggest TV you can afford, but you’d want a small music player that slips inside a pocket. With consumer electronics, they either go big or go small. ![]() Mediocre print quality on non-Epson paper Even XL ink tanks have a small print yield ![]()
