Epson Intro Artisan 700 & Artisan 800 Premier All-in-One Inkjet Printers 4' x 6', 5' x 7', 8' x 10'

Printer design is, on the whole, something that rarely gets us excited
but in the case of Epson's new, premier Artisan all-in-one inkjet
printers - namely the Artisan 700 and Artisan 800 - we must confess to
being smitten with their black aesthetics, curved edges and large,
colourful, front mounted LCD screens.Both the Artisan 700 and the
Artisan 800 utilise Advanced MicroPiezo 6-color ink jet printing with
DX5 technology paired with Claria 'high-definition' ink, offering
smudge, scratch, water and fade resistant photos, and sport maximum
print resolutions of 5760 x 1440 dpi and can print up to a purported 38
pages per minute in both colour and black and white text whilst churning
out a 4″ x 6″ sized photo print in as little as 10 seconds.
Both devices also sport Wi-Fi connectivity (though we've seen reports
that seem to indicate that only the Artisan 800 features Wi-Fi, which is
clearly not the case).

Epson Artisan 700 and Artisan 800 Key Features:

Standalone Photo Capabilities: Both Artisan models have card slots that
are compatible with
all popular memory card types for printing photos without a computer or
transferring files to or
from a computer. Plus, users can print directly from a digital camera or
mobile phone with the PictBridge connection. Additional photo printing
options include print-by-date, custom picture
packages, photo index sheets, and passport and photo IDs.
Restore Faded Photos: Both Artisan all-in-ones can easily restore color
to old, faded photos
with or without using a computer.
Creativity Made Simple: Included software allows users to create and
print personalized
CDs/DVDs, greeting cards, elegant invitations, beautiful photo
calendars, photo books, and
more.
Shared Use at Home: Wi-Fi and Ethernet networking are built in for
sharing with all users in
the home. An optional Bluetooth photo print adapter is also available
for printing from cell
phones and other mobile devices.
Flexible Paper Handling: Both models print borderless photos in popular
sizes, including
4' x 6', 5' x 7', 8' x 10', and letter. They also feature a paper
cassette with two paper trays
that eliminate the need to switch between plain and photo paper. In
addition, two-sided printing
is built-in and can be automated with an optional duplexer
Smart Ink System: The Artisan series feature convenient individual ink
cartridges that can be
changed in as little as five seconds and replace only the color needed.
In addition, innovative
technology conveniently combines color inks to produce black when black
ink is low to extend
printing. Cartridges are available in two sizes to match users' printing
needs.
