A new addition to the EPSON photo range will provide the amateur or semi professional photographer with an unparalleled digital photo printing solution for the home use. The EPSON Stylus Photo 950 is the first printer in its class to offer a two-picolitre dot size that results in detailed prints, and includes an automatic paper cutter and catcher. The revolutionary photo printer will also print directly onto CD`s and features simultaneous paper rolling and sheet cutting functionality. EPSON Quick Dry dye ink has been specially formulated to deliver vibrant colours, smoother tonal ranges and superb colour expression.
The Stylus Photo 950 features a new EPSON print-head with a higher nozzle count to create faster photo printing at resolutions up to 2880dpi. To enhance the photographic output, EPSON has developed a two-picolitre dot to create detail virtually invisible to the naked eye.
Say Hans Dummer, general manager of EPSON SA, "It is extremely cost effective to produce a photo collection using the Stylus Photo 950. Separate cartridges use EPSON`s Intellidge Chip to store print data and allow each colour to be replaced as required. In addition to the five separate colour ink cartridges, twin black cartridges are used to offer high-speed mono printing."
Running costs are further reduced with EPSON`s roll media. The cost to provide a collection of prints from the roll is equivalent to the cost of silver halide prints, but without the hassle of unwanted prints, and with the luxury of being able to edit images if required and complete the entire process at home.
"EPSON photo printing has once again created a new standard. The addition of the Stylus Photo 950 to the EPSON photo printer range brings traditional photo-bureau standards directly into the home. The new inks ensure the best quality and the cost makes this digital printing solution the most efficient way to produce photos," concludes Dummer.
Recommended retail price for the Stylus Photo 950 is R6476.91 (Inc. Vat)
