The differences between the Epson Expression printers

The Home models are the standard printers from the Expression series. If you don't need any extras aside from copying and printing and if you just print a ticket or report every now and then, the Home is the right series for you. Home printer are mainly suitable for the average user that wants to be able to print at home every now and then, without any extras.

The name says it all. This is the right printer for you if you mainly print photos. The main strength of this printer is its ability to print your photos in crystal clear quality. Are you a hobbyist or a professional photographer? Then you can print beautiful photos with this. Keep in mind that these results are particularly visible when you use photo paper. With the Photo printer, you print the most beautiful photos of the moments you want to remember.

Don't want to choose between these 2 types? Then there's the Premium printers. These models combine the Home and Photo, so you have as versatile a printer as possible. With the Premium printers, you can print both documents and photos with the desired method and quality. This way, you don't need any other print services.

The Home printers have 4 cartridges. These include the standard colors black, yellow, cyan, and magenta. The advantage of separate cartridges is that you only have to replace the one that's empty. If you print a lot in black and white, then you can replace the black cartridge more frequently.

The Photo models are your best option for printing photos. That's partly because of the number of cartridges. There are 6 of them. In addition to the 4 standard colors, there's also a light cyan and light magenta. This way, the colors on the print get better contrasts.

The holder of the Premium models holds 5 cartridges. Instead of the extra light colors, the Premium printers have a photo black cartridge. When you print documents in black and white, you only use the black cartridge. But if you print photos and illustrations, the photo black cartridge adds extra shades of black.

The print speed of the Home printers isn't very fast. In general, this doesn't matter too much when you're just printing some loose documents. Speed isn't important when you print a movie theater ticket, but you'll need a bit more patience if you're printing a school report.

It's no surprise that the Photo printers aren't the fastest out there. It takes longer to print a photo than to print a regular text file. And in this case, speed is less important than quality. Printing quickly usually isn't a big requirement for photographers.

The Premium lives up to its name when it comes to print speed. These models from the Expression series print your documents the fastest. The result is that everything looks sharp and professional. This is ideal for important documents with a lot of infographics and icons, for example.
