Epson has released its first model in a new range of multifunction printers, the Epson Stylus CX5500 targeting home and small business users.
The priter features Epson's improved DURABrite(TM) Ultra ink which produces glossy photos and sharper text printing. DURABrite Ultra ink is resistant to smudging, fading and water and has up to 120 years light fastness*.
Adding value for money to the ownership experience, the Epson Stylus CX5500 gives users the choice of standard or low cost individual colour Intellidge(TM) ink cartridges, starting from RRP $8.99 including GST.
The unit is capable of printing at up to 5760 optimised dpi, generating images and text with great detail and accuracy. Variable Sized Droplet technology (VSDT) and Epson's MicroPiezo print head produces medium sized dots for placing solid colour quickly and finer dots for areas of gradation and blending, increasing print speed.
The Epson Stylus CX5500 has print speeds of up to 25ppm. True BorderFree(TM) printing is available in A4, 4x6 and 5x7 inch sizes on a range of Epson's glossy photo papers.
The printer also has a 600x1200dpi scanner with Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) technology to achieve accurate colour scanning of photographs and colour documents. With a pixel depth of 48-bit input and 24-bit output, accuracy levels are outstanding. Auto Skew Adjustment software also adds to the ease of use by automatically detecting if a photo or document has not been placed straight and automatically adjusting it.
It is capable of PC-free copying, and comes with Epson Creativity Suite which includes utilities to simplify tasks such as web printing. Epson's Fit-To-Page utility can detect original document sizes, adjusting the zoom according to the paper's printable areas, therefore eliminating the need for cropping when scanning and printing.
The recommended retail price is $99 including GST and is available for purchase at consumer electronics retailers, computer superstores, mass merchandisers, office superstores and selected photo specialty stores.
