Shawn and Andy talk with Stevi Sterns, a Product Manager from Epson, about a brand new Epson printer which does amazing prints of photos. The Expression Photo XP-970 can Print, Scan, Copy and produce vivid colors for photo printing. We talk with Stevi at the user of the Expression Photo XP-970 and who would be the target user? We love the Expression Photo XP-970 from Epson gives the user the opportunity to print 4×6 all the way up to 11×17! Using a 6 Color Claria Ink System the pictures printed give a good representation of the original. Users can also use the Epson Connect features to be able to print directly from a smart phone without a router, although in a connected home, printing wirelessly over a network is also a great advantage. Great Prints, Vibrant Colors and speeds, The Expression Photo XP-970 from Epson is a great printing device.

KMSB Segment – Picking the Right Printers!

Segment from KMSB Fox 11

For today’s Segment, last week we looked at some Technology for Getting Back to School with a Laptop and Backpack. This morning it is still back to school with a question from many parents, What Printer to Get! While many classes for students allowing for Digital Submission of reports and essays, printing on paper is still something students will eventually find they need. We will take a look at two very different kinds of technology for printing that document, One Laser Printing and One Inkjet and we will explain the benefits of both.

First off, printing with Inkjet Technology has changed in big steps with Technology from Epson with the EcoTank. We look at the ET2720. Basically the EcoTank provides an economic advantage to those printing often on the printer which is capable of a variety of colors. In the past many have complained about buying a printer for X amount of dollars to find the ink which needed replacement rather quickly was sometimes more than the printer in replacement! With the EcoTank line, gone is the constant replacing of cartridges, instead, easily fill those cartridges with a supply of Ink to make it happen.

A Consumer can save money this way and according to Epson could be as much as 90%. The Ink that comes with the printers will generally last about 2 years! Each replacement ink bottle will give you about 4500 pages of print, that’s about 80 of those cartridges! The 2720 also can Scan and copy as well as print. Print speeds are going to be around 10Ppm and users can print from iPad, iPhone, Android with Wi-Fi Direct meaning no Wi-Fi Router Required. SRP Epson ET2720 $199.00

Photo of the HP M118dw
If Color is not a requirement and printing faster is something you would be interested in, HP has always been a great resource for Laser ink technology. We look at the HP M118dw.

Using LaserJet technology this Printer produces a faster output, about 30ppm and allows Wireless Printing. Like the Epson, No Network Needed, with the HP Smart App, a User can print directly to the printer from a Smartphone or tablet. When buying replacement toner, check out the estimated page load for toner.

For Example, the HP 92A Replacement will yield about 1200 pages, while the more expensive 94X will have about 2800. Remember also, when you buy a printer you are basically in most cases getting a “sample” amount of ink, the Toner in this will last for about 1000 prints. The HP LaserJet Pro M118dw retails for about $89.99!
