Artisan 800The king of inkjet all-in-ones in here. Epson America has launched a new brand of premium inkjet multi-function printers christened Artisan. The first debutants are Artisan 700 and Artisan 800 and Epson backs them for their better-than-lab-like print quality and stylish piano black finish.

The Artisan 700 can carry out printing, scanning and copying functionalities while the 800 model has an additional capability of faxing.

Both printers carry patented Claria ink and output is assured to create vivid, true-to-life photos with smudge, scratch and water resistance, as well as fade resistance up to four times longer than photo lab prints. These printers contain 6 colour cartridges.

Both printers print monochrome and colour documents at 38ppm and 4″ x 6″ photos at 10 seconds per photo.

The higher model, Artisan 800 is Wi-Fi capable. Its elegant 7.8″ smart touch panel and 3.5″ tilt LCD lights up only the buttons necessary that brings essential controls to users’ fingertips for easy selecting, copying, enlarging, rotating, cropping, and printing photos all without a computer.

These printers are available in the American market and will be a matter of months before they hit UK markets as well. Artisan 700 is priced at £100 while the tall order of 800 carries a price tag of £150.
