Epson, has launched a photo printer in its all-in-one print-scan-copy lineup – the Epson Stylus Photo TX720WD. It is quite fast--producing up to 40 pages per minute (ppm) for both black and colour text and a 4 x 6 inch photo in 10 seconds.
The TX720WD achieves high print resolution of 5760 x 1440 dots per inch (dpi) with Epson’s proprietary Micro Piezo print head technology and VSDT (Variable Sized Droplet Technology) allows the print head to eject ink droplets in up to five sizes. These capabilities ensure the greatest detail and extremely smooth gradations in photographs.
With integrated Ethernet and wireless capabilities, the EpsonStylus Photo TX720WD can be shared with multiple PCs, eliminating the need for personal desktop printers. It comes with a built-in automatic duplexer for double-sided printing, allowing users to select double-siding printing option before sending to print. The printer’s 2.5 inch LCD screen is a convenient feature which enables users to preview their photographs before printing, without connecting to a PC.
It also boasts Built-in CD/DVD printing capabilities for printing directly onto CD or DVD surfaces.
