The new Epson Expression Premium XP-640 Small-in-One wireless inkjet printer offers lab-quality prints at home. This $150 printer replaces the Expression Premium XP-630, but does not seem to add anything new. Both offer identical looks and specifications with superior photo quality, auto 2-sided printing, and the ability to print 4″ x 6″ photos in as fast as 20 seconds. Both provide a complete wireless solution, including Wi-Fi Direct to easily print directly from an iPad, iPhone, Android tablet or smartphone — without a router. Both are compatible with the Epson Creative Print App, allowing users to effortlessly print photo collages, personalized coloring book pages, and stationery directly from personal photos as well as Facebook and Instagram photos.
Creative applications include advanced photo printing features that print borderless photos, up to 8″ x 10″, and prints 4″ x 6″ photos in as fast as 20 seconds. Leveraging Epson Claria Premium Ink, you should get outstanding photos that are smudge, scratch, water, and fade resistant, making it easy to share photos immediately after printing.
