Printers are not traditionally thought of as sexy devices, and by and large are purchased grudgingly by consumers because though we might live in a digital age, hard copy is still king when it comes to sharing certain kinds of content.
However, Epson's Stylus TX800FW 4-in-1 is making impressive strides when it comes to combining aesthetics with great performance. So much so that it has won two major international design awards to date, an International Forum Design award and a Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) award for 'Best Multifunction Photo Printer in 2009'.
The Stylus TX800FW is a high-definition 4-in-1 printer with fax, automatic document feeder, and WiFi capabilities. The TX800FW's advanced functionality is accessed and controlled via an impressive 19.8cm LCD touch panel interface and is ideal for all kinds of home applications, including premium home photo printing.
Designed to seamlessly integrate into your living room, the Epson Stylus TX800FW comes with a black gloss finish, giving it an ultra modern look. Its carefully considered contours hide an automatic document feeder, while the twin paper trays are fully integrated, adding to its overall sleek design that won't disrupt the aesthetic of your home.
To add functionality to design, the Epson Stylus TX800FW comes with integrated WiFi and Ethernet connectivity, enabling users to print over their home network. Users can also print directly from a Pictbridge connected camera, or from memory cards for ultimate ease of use. An optional automatic duplexer clicks on the rear of the main unit and provides double-sided printing, including booklet printing.
Besides its elegant design, its many features and intuitive interface, the Epson Stylus TX800FW delivers outstanding results, thanks to Epson Claria Photographic Ink, a high-definition, dye-based ink that gives better-than-lab-quality photos. This ink comes in individual cartridges so you only replace the colour you use. In addition, a new high-speed Micro Piezo print head is at the heart of the device, providing the fastest inkjet printing technology available from Epson.
The Epson Stylus TX800FW will be available in South Africa from September 2009 and has a recommended retail of R3 599, incl VAT.
