Epson USA has launched a brand new range of printers aimed at the home user market. The Artisan 700 and 800 are all-in-one printers with a sleek new look, with a piano black finish and built in LCD display screen.

Both of the new Artisan models use Epson’s six-colour Ultra Hi-Def Claria ink which is designed to create a true to life photo style finish with enhanced fade resistance. This combined with the Epson MicroPiezo print head which delivers ink in 5 different droplet sizes should ensure quality photo realistic prints.

The Artisan models allow users to edit and print out photographs without having to use a computer, thanks to the built in LCD display and control panel. Both models are equipped with Epson’s auto photo correction technology that allows users to preview changes on the LCD display. Both models are very fast printing standard pages at a speed of 38 pages per minute and 4” by 6” photographs in 10 seconds. User can also print directly onto printable CDs and DVDs.

The Artisan 800 is fully equipped with WiFi, an auto document feeder, Fax capability and the ability to print ultra hi-def photos. The printer has a 7.8” touch panel and a 3.5” LCD display and also a 30 page document feeder.

The Artisan 700 is a sleek piano black design standing just 5.9” tall, with an integrated 2.5” LCD Display. The printer has a 2400 dpi resolution and 48-bit colour.

Both Artisan models have integrated card slots compatible with most modern memory cards, plus the PictBridge connection allows users to connect cameras or mobile phones directly to the printer without needing to use a computer. The built in photo editing capabilities can remove red eye from photographs and restore colour to faded images. Additional printing options include the ability to print photo indexes and produce photo ID’s

Both printers are available for pre order on Amazon now, and will be released for general sale in September 2008.
