Epson launches latest all-in-one inkjet printer

It offers economical printing with Epson DURABrite Ultra individual ink cartridges, so only the colour that is used needs to be replaced.

In addition to high-quality printing, scanning and copying, it features a full colour 33.6Kbps fax and an automatic document feeder for fast multi-page scanning, copying and faxing.

A new print head mechanism in the Stylus CX9300F delivers fast speeds of up to 32ppm in black and white and colour, while a 10x15cm photo can be printed in only 26 seconds.

The Epson Stylus CX9300F is equipped with an improved Epson Micro Piezo print head mechanism that increases the rate at which ink droplets can be ejected from the nozzles. The result is faster printing speeds for all document types without a sacrifice on quality.

The Stylus CX9300F features a 6.3cm LCD viewer for viewing and printing photos.

It can also be used for sending faxes and stand-alone copying, while memory card slots and PictBridge connectivity are included for computer-free photo printing.

Epson DURABrite Ultra Ink is an advanced pigment-based ink technology that encapsulates each pigment particle in a protective resin coating. This makes the ink resistant to water, smudging and fading.

The resin and pigment particle have also been optimised to offer glossy photos when printing on glossy media and sharper laser-like text for printing documents.

The CX9300F also incorporates the Epson PhotoEnhance to get the best out of photos. It automatically detects skin tones, landscapes and skylines to give the best colour settings for high-quality photos.

With a 1200dpi scanner it is easy to make stand-alone copies or scan via the PC, and with Epson Easy Photo Fix users can restore colour, remove dust and correct backlight on faded or old scanned photos.

Also included is ABBYY FineReader Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software, which makes it easy to scan and edit text documents.

Khalil El Dalu, General Manager, Epson Middle East, said, "For premium output, fast print speeds and fax capabilities, the Epson Stylus CX9300F is the printer for home and small office users. Epson's innovative DURABrite Ultra Ink ensures that premium, sharp text and vivid photos are both achievable and affordable. In addition to sending faxes, the LCD viewer can be used to view and print photos without a computer, while the automatic document feeder, high-speed fax and scanner ensure professional output.
