Gear Diary EPSON Announces the Expression Home XP 40 Wireless Printer, Small but Packs a Punch photo

“Small, simple, inexpensive and everything you need in a printer.” That’s how I would describe the new EPSON Expression Home XP-400. It is just $99 but can still print, copy, scan and more. Add in the fact that it is sleek, quiet and user-friendly and you have a great printer that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. But there is more to it.

His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.
