Expert Verdict
Epson Expression Premium XP-635 is a multifunctional printer and supports 5 high capacity Epson XP-635 Ink Cartridges - pigmented black, black, cyan, magenta and yellow. The Epson XP-635 Ink Cartridges have an ink volume of 530 pages and 400 pages for pigmented black and black ink respectively, 650 pages for colour inks. This printer has the capability of printing good quality prints. Once this printer is installed, it is easy to use as both a wireless printer and scanner. What’s good about this printer is that it supports both genuine and compatible cartridges. Third-party Epson XP-635 Ink Cartridges are priced 30% lower than the original cartridges. This way they save a lot of money and time in the long run. You can also use this printer to print directly onto CD's and DVD's which Epson seem to not tell you about in most of their advertising material.
Once you are done with the setup and print document, it will produce beautiful, quiet and great quality texts. But one thing is that if Epson XP-635 Ink Cartridges have low amounts of ink, it will print nothing, not even a pure greyscale photograph. As I had already bought two full sets of compatible Epson XP-635 Ink Cartridges which were guaranteed to work with the firmware in these printers at the time of purchase. The Epson XP-365 is a great purchase for scanning and printing text, however, the main issue with the printer is during printing images, as they print with banding. You’ll have to improve it using different paper, head alignment, head cleaning and check if that fixes the problem. One thing that troubles with this printer is that it prints photos on matte surfaces in standard quality only whilst plain paper enjoys a wealth of different quality options. You will have hard luck working on this printer if your preference is for printing photos on a matte surface. It is a good machine but the matte surface problem is truly mysterious. If we talk about speed, it slows down if you try to print a large number of copies, for copying a large number of sheets, you will need a heavy-duty printer.
Also, there is a design defect in the product which could be improvised. If you use "cassette 1", the papers can get stuck. This happens because of the design fault, as cassette1 is positioned too high, and also because of how the paper gets fed into this product before printing occurs. You will have to use casette2 instead if you do not want to deal with such an issue. This printer comes with a PictBridge feature; so you can connect a digital camera to it and will produce the desired prints with good quality within seconds. This is a handy process if you do not want to be bothered to connect it to a computer. It is less hassle too. If you have a more upgraded camera then a useful SD card slot located above the PictBridge/USB connection should work just as well.
As for the copier; you will be pleased that the copy, when printed on glossy photo paper, is sharper and better than the original. Though the trays located at the bottom will need some careful handling, as they are a little flimsy, the top cover can be left open while printing so that you check if the picture you're printing is the right one. The Epson XP-635 Ink Cartridges are large, generous in capacity therefore they will work longer. Features such as Email Print are good to go but most impressive is the scanning feature, because you can scan any photo you have and upload it to your PC easily. This feature is good for those who have stacks of prints from the pre-digital age. If you can forgive the print speed then considering the print, copy and scanning features, this product is worth buying.
