Epson Intros Entry Level All in One

Epson today launched the EPSON Stylus CX5500 All in One offering high quality and durable image printouts.

Featuring an innovative ink cartridge bay, All in One offers the flexibility of accepting ink cartridges of different capacities.  Based on the printing needs, this feature will help reduce the cost of long term printing as users can now choose between standard ink cartridges and low cost ink cartridges. To further decrease the cost of printing, INKdividual system allows users to only replace the colour which has run out instead of changing the full set of inks at the same time.

Both cartridge types use Epson’s DURABrite Ultra ink that are specially developed for resistance against fading, smudging and accidental water spillage, while ensuring that printouts remain vibrant. These specially formulated pigment inks offer exceptional resistance against accidental spillage and harmful environmental contaminants which cause premature fading.  When used with genuine Epson paper and stored correctly, DURABrite Ultra inks can ensure print durability of up to a staggering 120 years on matte paper heavy weight paper.

Despite it’s attractive price proposition, the EPSON Stylus CX5500 punches above it’s weight with the award-winning Micro-Piezo print head system and Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT). Both technologies combine to offer high print accuracy and reliability, with the ability to produce subtle tone gradation in images. Matched with print resolutions of up to 5760 dpi, users can be confident of printouts that are sharp and clear. 

In tandem with the demand for faster printouts, this All in One offers rapid print speeds of 25 pages per minute (ppm) for black text and 13ppm for colour printouts.  In addition, One-Touch Copy feature of the EPSON Stylus CX5500, completes tasks in as quickly as four seconds. Whilst the scanner is capable of resolutions of up to 600dpi, it also allows for enlargements of photos up to A4 size. 

EPSON PhotoEnhance is a smart default feature which automatically corrects common flaws in images such as overexposure and red eye correction to ensure optimum printouts.  For easy image management, the EPSON Creativity Suite provides reliable help in finding and sorting out your personal collection of digital images. 

With the slew of cutting edge print technology and unique flexible ink cartridge arrangement, the new All in One is evidence that quality does not need to come with a high price.  The EPSON Stylus CX5500 is priced at Rs.5499 (MRP). As for the ink cartridges, the standard inks are priced at Rs.460 (MRP) while the low Cost inks are priced at Rs.250 (MRP). The Stylus CX5500 comes with a 2 year warranty and is available from August 2007 across the country.
