Epson Launches TX600FW

In a bid to take big strides in the recession times, Epson has launched an economical multi-function inkjet printer that can spit prints as fast as a laser printer, and can double up as a photo printer. The new Epson inkjet printer, TX600FW is aimed at SOHOs and SMEs and can additionally copy, scan and fax.

TX600FW leverages upon Epson patented DURABrite Ultra Ink technology that provides a resin coated finish which results in high quality prints. There are four individual cartridges (CMYK) on this printer; cyan, magenta, yellow and black, only the ink that runs out needs replacement. Epson claims that an intelligent ink cartridge system available on the printer can detect the exact levels of ink even if a cartridge is removed and reinstalled.

Printing speed is top notch at 38ppm for black and 19ppm for colour. Photo printing is the quickest we have heard of at 20 seconds per 4” X 6” photograph.

There are other additional features that go without saying such as a tilt adjustable 2.5” LCD screen and provision for hooking cameras and memory cards. Software provided with the printer contains several photo enhancement features which should gel well with home users in particular.

This feature rich Epson inkjet printer is priced just over £100 and the Epson ink cartridges are available in extra capacity variation as well.
