Epson has gone full boat with the all-in-one printer segment.  The big deal about this one (Epson Artisan 800) is the ease of use and the lab quality photo capability that most of these style printers don’t offer.  Here are the specs from the Epson site:

• Smart, 7.8″ touch panel — large display lights up the buttons you need; includes a 3.5″ LCD to preview and print images
• Fax, even in color — send and receive faxes right at home
• Remarkable productivity — Auto Document Feeder to quickly copy, scan or fax stacks of originals
• Wi-Fi® support — built-in wired and wireless networking; print from any room
• Ultra Hi-Definition prints — Claria® 6-color ink for images with richness, depth and clarity — it’s the ultimate in image quality
• Bring old, faded photos back to life — easily restore the color to faded photos
• Professional looking CDs/DVDs — print right onto ink jet printable CDs/DVDs
• One-of-a-kind projects — easily create note paper, cards and coloring books using your own photos
• Perfect photos made easy — Auto Photo Correction and red-eye removal
• Quality color or black and white copies — copy documents, receipts, recipes and more
• Multitasking made easy — two paper trays for plain and photo paper; always ready for any task
• Results ready to share — better than lab quality photos are smudge, scratch, water and fade resistant
• Useful software included — OCR and creativity software to create cards, calendars, photo books and more
• Individual ink cartridges — replace only the color that you need

• Save paper — built-in two-sided printing***
• Long-lasting prints — fade-resistant photos that last up to 4x longer than lab prints****

* Pages per minute (ppm) speed measured after first page, based on black and color text patterns in Draft Mode on plain paper. Color photo in Draft Mode on Premium Photo Paper Glossy measured from start of paper feed. Additional print time will vary based on system configuration, software application and page complexity. See www.epson.com/printspeed for more information about print speed.
** One-year limited warranty to all purchasers; toll-free support and second-year warranty require registration within 60 days of purchase. With registration, Epson provides phone support without charge for the life of the product. Telephone toll charges may apply.
***Double-sided printing available on the Macintosh® only with the optional duplexer.
**** Based on accelerated testing of prints displayed under glass in indoor display conditions. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, temperature, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee the longevity of prints.
For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or UV filter or properly store them. See www.wilhelm-research.com for the latest information.

If you don’t really need a high end scanner but you want to keep the other high end features of the Artisan 800, check out the Artisan 700.  It is the same printer with a lower resolution scanner built into it.  The other specs are the same.

We have an 800 on display at Roberts Imaging downtown.  If you want to see one in action, come downtown and check it out for yourself!
