The Stylus Colour 440 is targeted at Entry-Level Home Users (without great requirement for Photo Reproduction Quality), looking for the best value high-quality printer. It produces excellent four-colour print quality at resolutions of 720 dpi on all media including plain paper printing.
It is specifically designed for ease of use, making it ideal for first time buyers. It comes with easy-to-user Interactive Online help to guide the user through all the printer`s functions or assist with troubleshooting should any problems arise.
The 440 includes the Epson PerfectPicture Imaging System which delivers superior colour print quality through the combination four key technologies: Epson MicroPiezo Technology; Epson Quick-Dry Inks; Epson Photo Quality Paper; and Epson AcuPhoto Halftoning.
Epson printers use piezoelectric technology to propel the ink from the head. By regulating the micro-voltage applied to the piezo (crystal) elements, the size, shape and placement of each ink droplet can be controlled with great precision. Dots are more uniformly circular, with minimal misting and satellites. Since there are no thermal stresses on the print head, ink droplets can be fired at extremely high frequency, speeding up printing and eliminating the need for periodic head replacement. This allows the head to produce extremely fine MicroDots to achieve industry-leading resolutions.
Epson QuickDry Inks combine the advantages of high colour concentration, light resistance, and superior penetration with minimal bleed characteristics. These quickdry inks provide richer, more vibrant colours on all paper types, especially plain paper; they improve dot sharpness particularly in high humidity environments; and they have improved water resistance.
Epson Photo Quality Papers were developed specifically to take advantage of the superior characteristics of the Epson Quick-Dry Inks and MicroPiezo printing technology. They absorb quickdry ink quickly and thoroughly, instantly achieving the precise level of chromatic intensity needed for true photo-quality printing. AcuPhoto Halftoning is a 32-bit image processing system that uses proprietary algorithms and high-speed 3D colour look-up tables to render tonal variations and colour gradations with exceptional smoothness. Skin tones are particularly lifelike, with natural shading and texture all without compromising output speed.
Epson PhotoEnhance 3 technology within the printer driver boosts print quality by automatically adjusting colour balance, exposure values and contrast. The Stylus Colour 440 printer driver for Windows 95, 98, and NT 4.0 includes PhotoEnhance 3, the most advanced release of Epson PhotoEnhance yet.
The Stylus Colour 440 PerfectPicture Pak includes two software titles: Corel Print House Magic (incorporating Corel Print House, Corel Photo House and Corel Friends and Family) and Professor Franklin`s Instant Photo Effects that allows the user to create thousands of professional photo effects, effortlessly.
It comes with a one-year return-to-base warranty.
