Turning your home into a space that’s merry and bright, complete with a sparkling tree and holidays decorations that bring Christmas to life is a cinch – all you need is your trusty Epson EcoTank printer and a little creativity!

Printers can be used for so much more than scanning and printing everyday documents; for example, instead of locking your precious family memories away in virtual photo prisons (aka ‘the cloud’), you can print and display them to enjoy every day. And think of all the printable crafts and colouring sheets that could be printed out to keep kids busy through those seemingly never-ending school holidays?

Here are a few more ideas to spark your Christmas creativity on hoe to make the best use of your Epson home printer during the holidays.

Get crafty with Christmas décor cutouts.

Personalised Christmas tree decorations are the way to go for more special and memorable. Head over to Epson’s Creative corner and take your pick of a range of fun, festive Christmas printables, including 3D baubles and a star garland to wrap around the tree that you can download for free and the whole family can enjoy making. Go to https://creativecorner.epson.eu/for-home/ to find loads more fun printable crafts.

Create personalised Christmas stationery.

Add a touch of personalised festive charm to your messages by printing out customised stationery, such as post cards, letterheads and even labels for gifts. And, if you prefer to handwrite your letter on your custom stationery, simply use the quick and easy scan to print or email function on the Epson L5290 printer. You could also carry the same design theme into customised prints for your dinner table, including menus, name cards, and even fun little cards with quirky sayings or trivia to include at each place setting.

Gifting and print go hand-in-hand.

Printers can be useful across the board when it comes to gifting this Christmas, whether you are printing the actual gift (for example, a family recipe book to pass down the generations, or intricate paper crafts made by hand) or custom gift wrap, tags and Christmas cards to make your gifts more special. You could even print out stencils that can be cut out and used for dusting over cookies and cakes that will be gifted over the festive season – the possibilities are endless – the Epson L3250 EcoTank printer is the ultimate workhorse for the job. While we’re on the topic, why not consider gifting your loved one an Epson EcoTank printer this Christmas?

Make your own festive wall art and family portraits

Instead of spending a fortune on holiday art prints to frame and display in your home, rather create your own using free, user-friendly online platforms such as canva.com and create high quality prints? You can also stage your own family portrait complete with festive dress-up, props and backdrop, and print these out using the Epson L6490 for the best print image resolution with pigment ink technology – a game changer for home printing.

An Epson EcoTank printer is an especially smart purchase for your own use at home or to gift to someone you know would love to get stuck into the many crafts and creative Christmas activities made possible with a home printer of the EcoTank calibre. Not only do they offer an ultra low-cost printing solution with a hassle-free ink tank system, but up to three years’ worth of ink right out of the box.
