Epson Expression Home XP-306 Specifications
For home users who need print, scan, and copy capabilities without sacrificing desk space, the Epson XP-306 offers a compact multifunction solution. Wireless connectivity and mobile printing are the XP-306’s strong points, as the latest variant in Epson’s old claw line. Its sleek design is attractive, with a small footprint that belies its functionality. The installation process is quick and easy, with on-screen prompts guiding users through the process so that even those who are not tech-savvy can handle it. Including individual ink cartridges means you only replace the color you need, rather than the entire thing simultaneously, with the attendant waste and cost.
In terms of performance, the XP-306 is a good performer. Thanks to the printer model’s reliable Micro Piezo technology, the printer has sharper and clearer print quality, especially for documents, and with well-defined text. The printer model is not the fastest kind currently on the market. However, its steady output is more than enough for home use. The scanner has decent enough performance; color accuracy induction is appropriate for a model at this price point. But photo printing could be a lot better. The print speed for higher quality settings may be slower than expected, and in the case of full color, users will find their finished product less bright compared to dedicated photo printers.
Epson’s included software suite is intuitive and easy to use in terms of usability. It offers a seamless interface for the XP-306’s features. Wireless printing from smartphones and tablets is a breeze with Wi-Fi Direct connectivity and an Epson Connect app. Connectivity reliability is good as far as connections are concerned, but wireless operations may still cause some people occasional hiccups. Partly that–but those problems – are of very little significance in a system that is otherwise well-thought-out. While not great at any one thing and lacking special features in any category, the XP-306 is a combination of]functionality and price that will suit most people well enough.
