Epson releases the premium performance Stylus™ Photo RX690 all-in-one

October 2007

Auckland, 4 October 2007: The Epson Stylus Photo RX690 all-in-one photo printer is ideal for home, home offices and small offices that require regular document and photo printing, scanning, copying and CD/DVD printing, creating a total, flexible and efficient home or office printing solution.

With super-fast speeds of up to 40ppm, and borderless 4x6 inch photo printing in as little as 12 seconds, the Epson Stylus Photo RX690 increases the efficiency and productivity of your home or business environment, offering complete document management with dual paper trays for greater paper storage capacity and optional duplexing for double-sided printing to reduce paper usage.

The Stylus Photo RX690 uses Epson Claria photographic ink for ultra high definition prints with richness, depth and clarity. Claria's dye-based formulation boasts exceptional light reflection characteristics to ensure your prints have superior colour vibrancy. When combined with genuine Epson photo paper the quality is better than photo lab prints and your memories can last hundreds of years.

The Stylus Photo RX690 has six individual Intellidge(TM) colour ink cartridges, so consumers replace only the ink cartridges that are used for cost effective printing.

With Epson's advanced MicroPiezo print head and Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT) with Resolution Performance Management (RPM) the Stylus Photo RX690 is capable of printing various ink droplet sizes from as small as 1.5 picolitres, at a resolution of up to 5760 optimised dpi, generating both images and text with great detail, accuracy and speed.

Epson PhotoEnhance enables consumers to produce the optimum print every time by automatically adjusting the colour balance to allow for the different requirements of portraits, landscapes or groups. PhotoEnhance also includes PortraitEnhance to detect faces in the image and enhance face definition and skin radiance to ensure beautiful, natural skin tones.

The Stylus Photo RX690 is capable of PC-free photo printing, copying and scanning with a 2.5 inch high resolution tilt-adjustable LCD viewer for added ease of use with simple, intuitive menus offering easy viewing, selecting, copying and printing of photos without a computer. It also has PictBridge and card slots compatible with many popular memory card formats.

Included with the Stylus Photo RX690 is a USB cable for immediate out-of box use.

Consumers get more quality, value and choice with Epson's range of home, office and photo single and multifunction printers. Genuine Epson inks and paper ensure the best quality prints from text, graphics, web pages and photos. Individual ink cartridges and the option of standard or low cost cartridges on selected models means more efficient ink use and greater value for money. And Epson's wide range of printers allows consumers to choose the printer that best suits their needs.

The Epson Stylus Photo RX690 is RRP $399 including GST and is available for purchase at consumer electronics retailers, computer superstores, photographic specialists and office superstores.
