Expert Verdict

Though the Epson Expression XP-630 printer is aimed primarily toward home users, with quite a low paper capacity and a dedicated tray for photo paper, this inkjet multifunction printer (MFP) gives some amazing features for office uses, including duplexing, scanning to a USB memory key, high capacity Epson XP-630 Ink Cartridges, and support for mobile printing. These additional features make the XP-630 the right choice among various home printers since it can also serve as a light-duty personal printer, particularly in a home office. What's more, the Wi-Fi support and replacement of Epson XP-630 Ink Cartridges make it an easy choice to buy for both home and home offices. The basic features of the XP-630's are limited to printing from and scanning to a PC, as well as working as a standalone photocopier. Not only this, but it is also able to print from and scan to a memory card. This printer provides various choices for you to print from a supplied program running on your PC to an optical disc, copy an image from its scanner directly to a disc, or print directly from a memory card or USB cable. The advantages don’t end here, It also comes with a feature to preview images on a memory card or a USB key on the 2.7-inch front-panel colour LCD screen before printing. Epson refers to the LCD as a touch panel, meaning the controls are touch-sensitive. Being a cost-effective printer, it supports both standard and XL Epson XP-630 Ink Cartridges. Having XL Epson XP-630 Ink Cartridges means you will save money in the long run and you would not have to buy Epson XP-630 Ink Cartridges for a long time.

The paper handling capacity of this printer is acceptable for a home printer or a light job personal printer, however, it has some unexpected limitations. The main tray has the capacity of holding only 100 sheets and is limited to a maximum size of 8.5-by-11-inch paper instead of legal size. To balance that limitation, it comes with a built-in duplexer and a second tray for up to 20 sheets of 5-by-7-inch photo paper. The dedicated photo tray might not be as useful as a second tray, but it can save you from having to swap out the paper in the main tray every time you switch between printing documents and photos. Using wi-fi, you are also able to take advantage of its support for printing through the cloud, as well as printing from and scanning to a phone or tablet. Though if you connect it to a single PC via USB cable instead, you will lose the ability to print through the cloud. However, thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi Direct, you can still connect directly to the printer to print from or scan to a mobile device.

In our testing, we timed the printer at 4.7 pages per minute (ppm), which is quite faster on our than most printers in its price range. Coming to the speed, being an inkjet printer its photo speed is acceptably fast, averaging 1 minute 6 seconds for a 4-by-6-inch print. If we talk about the print quality, it was a touch below par overall, strictly because of low text quality. Fortunately, it's good enough for most home use with this print quality because as long as you don't use fonts smaller than 10 points, you will not have any problem with it. Thanks to its Epson XP-630 Ink Cartridges, graphics results are satisfactory. The graphics on plain paper are easily suitable for home use and most office use, including PowerPoint prints and similar ones. Photo quality on photo paper was also as expected.

How to fix a print quality issue in an Epson XP 630 Printer?

Is your printer making odd image printouts with weird colour contrast? Or, just missing some colours and have lines on them?

These are common issues with an Epson Expression series printer that can occur either due to blocked printhead nozzles or because of the dried out Epson XP 630 ink cartridges. Whichever the cause is, the print quality issue can be resolved by following some easy steps.

Blocked print head nozzles can cause colour casting issues. You can check the print head nozzles by using a Nozzle Check utility on your Computer. Performing a nozzle check will determine if any of the nozzles are blocked.

Insert an A4 sheet in the input paper tray for the print test. Make sure the sheet is not damaged, old or dirty and the printable side of the sheet is facing up.

On your PC, go to the printer driver maintenance and utility section. Then, click on ‘Nozzle Check’. Doing this would prompt the printer to run a print test. It would produce a printout with some predefined line segment.

If there are gaps or missing segments in the test lines, then you need to clean the printhead. However, the lines are all fine and clear, then there is no issue with the printhead nozzles and you need to move to the next solution.

Sometimes old ink cartridges start getting dry and produce printouts in a low quality. You need to check the purchase date of these Epson XP 630 ink cartridges. If they were bought long ago (longer than 6 months) and haven’t been used on regular basis, it is time to replace those.

Q. Being a home user, I used to have an Epson printer. Suddenly the printer started printing blank pages. What can I do now? Is there any fault in my EPSON XP 630 ink cartridges? Please help.
A. It might be possible that you are using an old cartridge or there might be some hardware issue for this. Please consider the following guidelines to resolve the issue:

• An incorrect installation of the cartridge may result in blank pages. A common mistake you could have made is you forgot to remove the protective sheet or the cartridge cover. It is necessary to remove the tap before you install the cartridge into the printer.
• Make sure that the EPSON XP 630 ink cartridges are not empty. Check the ink level. Epson’s printer produces blank pages when the ink cartridge is empty.
• Maybe you have not used your Epson printer for a long time. In such conditions, a heavy amount of ink can dry up and clog at the print heads on the cartridge. You need to unclog the print heads of the cartridge.
• Use another software for your printing job.
• An outdated printer may also lead to problems while printing. Visit your manufacturer's website and update the printer drivers.

Q. Are EPSON XP 630 ink cartridges available in 18XL multipack?
A. Yes, these ink cartridges are also available in an 18XL multipack.

Q. I’m looking for a printer that supports cloud printing so that I can take printouts wherever needed. Is EPSON XP 630 printer a preferable choice?
A. Yes, the printer supports cloud printing and scanning to cloud. One can easily take prints wherever needed.

Q. Does the printer support borderless printing?

A. Yes, the printer supports both wireless and USB connectivity.

Q. Does Epson XP 630 printer print on card stock? If yes, then how? As, I am looking out to print on 80 lb stock on regular basis.

A. Sure, definitely. The printer works well with standard 80 lb stock without any issues. You just need to turn on the ‘thick paper’ setting from the control panel and print through the rear feed slot available.

Q. Why my Epson XP 630 printer is unable to recognise the cartridge?

A. This can happen when the contacts on the Epson XP 630 Ink Cartridge are not linking up with the printer due to thin film formation of dirt, dust or fingerprints. To resolve the issue, try cleaning the copper contact plate on the cartridge with a damp piece of clean cotton cloth. After wiping it, let the cartridge sit until the copper plate dries up. Next, turn on your printer's cleaning program 2 to 3 times to clean the head and allow the ink through. If still the cartridge is not recognised, remove the cartridge and reinstall it to ensure it is firmly seated. Hope this will resolve your issue.

Q. I purchased fresh Epson XP 630 Ink Cartridge online recently. But the print quality with the new cartridge is highly inferior. Is something wrong with my printer or the cartridge? Please explain. Thanks.

A. At the outset, if you tried to install the Epson XP 630 Ink Cartridge as soon as it arrived then it's neither the cartridge or the printer to be blamed. As, during shippings the cartridge could get jolted or shaken resulting in formation of air bubbles which hinder the smooth flow of ink. Hence, it is best recommended to store the new cartridge overnight with the print head at the bottom(exactly the way you would place it in your printer). This will allow the ink to settle down at the bottom with air at the top. Besides, automatic print head cleaning function is carried out by the printer whenever new cartridges are installed. So, alternatively if the above given solution doesn't work, please carry out another print head cleaning function through the printer software to ensure the cartridge is ready to use for high quality printing.

Q. How many pages would the 33XL black ink cartridges print? you ink volume only has the volume in mls.

A. Our compatible Epson 33XL ink volumes are shown in ml the black being 12.2ml and the 33XL cyan, 33XL magenta, 33XL yellow 8.9ml and 33XL photo black being 8.1ml. This equates to the black printing approximately 530 pages @ 5% coverage.

Q. I have some Epson T0711 black ink cartridges from a previous Epson printer, can I use them in my Epson XP-630? They seem to be the same size.

A. Unfortunately while they may look the same the cartridges are different. The Epson XP630 ink is specifically designed for use in this printer and is only interchangeable with other printers in it's own group. The popular Epson T0711 ink cartridge is not compatible with your printer.

Q. I mostly print black and white text on my printer, can I set my printer to print only using black ink?

A. The Epson XP630 ink comes in five colours; Epson 33XL black (T3351), Epson 33XL cyan (T3362), Epson 33XL magenta (T3363), Epson 33XL yellow (T3364), Epson 33XL photo black (T3361). The printer will always use a pinch of all colours to print black but you can reduce the amount of colour ink it uses by selecting 'Draft' quality in Microsoft Word.

My previous supplier said that Epson put a blocker in some of their printers to stop suppliers copying, can you verify this before I place an order.

A. Our compatible ink cartridges are recycled from the original cartridges and provide as good results as the genuine cartridges. Epson will never suggest for compatible ink cartridges as they would prefer the use of their branded ones. Some compatible cartridges may require troubleshooting in order for them to work but we sell compatible ink cartridges as we believe in their quality and better value for money.
