EPSON launches advanced all-in-one home photo centre

Johannesburg, 17 Mar 2004

EPSON has extended its all-in-one range of printers with the introduction of the photography-focused Stylus Photo RX600. EPSON`s latest all-in-one photo centre offers an advanced six-colour printing engine and high performance 2 400dpi scanner that enables users to quickly and easily scan, copy and print high resolution, durable photographs with or without the use of a PC - providing a true home photo-lab which rivals professional photo-lab results.

The six-colour printer features up to 5760 x 1440 optimised dpi resolution and Variable Sized Droplet Technology delivers droplets as small as 3 picoliters to create intensely detailed images in natural and vibrant colours. Users can produce BorderFree images on a variety of paper sizes. The printer creates photos and text quickly, delivering a 10-inch x 15-inch colour print in around 54 seconds when connected to a PC.

Furthermore, it supports popular digital photo printing standards from cameras that use Print Image Matching (PIM) or Exif.

Ideal for analogue camera users, the all-in-one has a powerful, in-built MatrixCCD scanner for capturing and manipulating images from hard-copy photos and film. The scanner has a high resolution of 2 400 x 4 800dpi to ensure users capture the finest details of an analogue photo or negative, which in turn is replicated accurately in a digital format. The printer also includes an integrated transparency unit for digitising, restoring and saving film archives.

"The launch of our latest all-in-one photo centre is another example of EPSON`s aim to empower creativity by enabling ideas to be brought to life," commented Hans Dummer, Country Manager, EPSON SA.

"EPSON`s all-in-one strategy is very clear - we aim to combine our very latest printer and scanner technologies with specific standalone features to create the premium quality all-in-one product."

For further standalone operations, EPSON has also included support for a range of technologies to provide complete PC-free printing, scanning and copying. These include PictBridge and USB DIRECT-PRINT for printing directly from a wide range of compatible digital cameras. Bluetooth technology is also supported via a new USB adapter, giving users a wireless printing solution from compatible devices such as notebook PCs and Bluetooth enabled mobile phones. Users can also make multiple copies or enlargements by printing directly from film; and can also make backups to external media - all without the need to be connected to a PC.
