Epson has announced the launch of the Epson Stylus TX200 and Stylus TX400 inkjet all-in-one's (AIO). These AIO's offer small office and home users a new level of high quality, hassle free operations utilising the space saving convenience of a printer, scanner and copier in a single converged device.

Minimum fuss, maximum results

Even for first time users, the Epson Stylus TX200 is designed to operate with minimum fuss and instruction. On the top cover, users can find an intuitive set of control buttons to access all the most common functions such as setting the number of copies, selecting paper size, ink status monitor, and others.

In the Stylus TX400 t he LCD interface communicates to users through a series of easy to understand graphics to help users access the wealth of functions – from common features like monitoring printer status and ink levels, to more advanced print preview and image touch-up. The LCD screen is also tiltable for comfortable viewing.

In both the models the users can plug in a PictBridge device or a memory card into the card slot bay, watch a preview and print directly at the tap of one button, all without the use of a PC.

Exceptional quality prints in the least time

To boost your productivity, the Epson Stylus TX200 prints swiftly at 34 pages per minute in draft mode and prints a single 4R photo in 19 seconds (draft mode, with border). At resolutions of up to 5760 dots per inch, high printing speed is accompanied by sharp print results for superior high quality documents and photos.

For incredible sharpness in your photos, the Stylus TX400 prints at up to 5760 dots per inch resolutions. If you need your prints in a hurry, the Epson Stylus TX400 effortlessly powers through print jobs at 34 pages per minute (draft mode) for both black & white and colour documents.

To complement the high speed printing, the printers use Epson's DURABrite Ultra Inks that, in addition to their ability to replicate a wide range of colours, are particularly noted for their superb water, smudge and fade resistance. DURABrite Ultra guards prints against all the most frequent user concerns such as accidental spills, smudging due to highlighter use, and fading. In fact, DURABrite Ultra is able to resist premature fading for up to 120 years.

Scans at high resolutions and copies with ease

Both the Epson Stylus TX200 and TX 400 come equipped with a 1200 dots per inch scanner which is more than capable of handling general A4 scanning jobs. Like printing, the scanning function can operate without the use of a PC.

Both also boast a high speed copying function rated at 30 copies per minute (draft mode). The copier is also intelligent enough to automatically resize odd-sized copies into standard A4 size printout.

Features to save you money

To help lower the cost of long-term operations, the Epson Stylus TX200 and the TX 400 come in a four individual ink cartridge configuration. This allows users to replace ink cartridges only as and when needed, rather than having to completely change the entire ink cartridge when only one colour is depleted.

Software for the professional finish

Whether you are printing documents for work, or photos for play, Epson's suite of bundled software turns you into a pro! With digital files proliferating, Epson's simple to use Creativity Suite makes photo and document management a breeze.

This suite includes Epson Easy Photo Print, which guides users through from selecting photos to printing. The Dust Removal Tool digitally zaps away dust particles often found in digital images, and the Epson PhotoEnhance, which works like an invisible photo expert to apply automatic professional touch-up to photo prints.

With small office and home users in mind, the Epson Stylus TX200 exceeds all basic digital imaging requirements and more without the high price. The AIO is available from July 2008 and is priced very reasonably at just Rs. 5,999/- .

Positioned as the complete basic SOHO general purpose imaging solution, the Epson Stylus TX400 appeals with its incredible performance and fuss-free operations. Priced at Rs. 7,299/- , the AIO is available from July 2008 across the country.
