Epson's Newest Line of All-In-Ones Enhance Productivity and Convenience for Busy Office and Home Environments. Epson Stylus® CX7400, Epson Stylus CX8400 and Epson Stylus CX9400Fax Offer More Features, Benefits Than Comparably Priced Competitors.

LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson America, Inc. is launching a line of fully featured, versatile ink jet all-in-ones that enhance productivity and convenience for the small office and home office environments. The Epson Stylus CX7400 and Epson Stylus CX8400 include a wide range of technologies optimized to fulfill virtually all day-to-day business and personal printing, copying and scanning needs that generally involve the use of plain paper, while the flagship Epson Stylus CX9400Fax adds high-speed color faxing capability with an automatic document feeder.

Building on Epson's 40-years of experience delivering innovative printing products, these all-in-ones also provide ideal solutions for novice digital camera owners who occasionally want to print photos on photo paper with or without a computer.

"These high-performing, versatile, yet affordable all-in-ones are smart choices for business users as well as families who want to make a good impression with high-quality, durable documents," said Tom Piche, product manager, Consumer Ink Jet Printers, Epson. "Head-to-head, this lineup offers more features and better image quality than competitive models. For all your day-to-day printing needs, whether text or photo, these are the products you want."

Technologies across the line that will benefit customers include:

-- Advanced DX3™ MicroPiezo® print head technology: Epson's print
head technology features smart nozzles that can each produce and
precisely place three sizes of ink droplets. These innovative nozzles
are more efficient than those that can only produce one droplet size.
As a result, fewer nozzles are needed to create exceptional photos and
documents with remarkable color and detail at fast speeds.

-- DURABrite® Ultra Ink: These inks produce laser-quality text and
brilliant color images on both plain and photo paper. These
all-pigment inks dry instantly so customers can share documents and
prints immediately and produce smudge and water resistant prints on all
media types, including plain paper. The output is even highlighter
resistant on plain paper. Additionally, the fade resistance on plain
paper is rated up to six times longer than leading competitive
prints(1), which is important for documents that need to be saved, such
as business contracts, estate planning paperwork, or tax documents.

-- Individual ink cartridges and one standard set: All three models
feature individual ink cartridges so that consumers only have to
replace the color needed. Additionally, with one standard ink set for
both documents and photos, there is no need to swap out cartridges
based on what is being printed.

-- Auto Photo Correction with advanced face detection(2): This innovative
technology is like having a photo lab technician built into the printer
to correct the lighting in poorly exposed images to produce perfect
prints. It also includes advanced face detection, which automatically
distinguishes people from scenery, correcting the color accordingly to
ensure beautiful, natural skin tones.

-- High-speed, multipurpose card slots: Compatible with all popular memory
types, these slots make it easy to print brilliant photos without a
computer and serve as an additional drive to easily transfer files to
and from a computer.

-- PictBridge® interface: Printing directly from a digital camera is
easy with this interface.

-- BorderFree™ photo printing: While optimized for everyday printing,
these all-in-ones support more BorderFree photo printing sizes than
ever before, including 3.5" x 5", 4"x 6", 5"x 7", 8"x 10", and letter
sizes, with no perforations or edges to trim.

-- Easy, high-quality copying and scanning: Epson makes it easy to scan,
copy and archive important documents and photos electronically with
one-touch color copying and easy, high-quality scanning. Users can
also make multiple copies quickly and easily.

-- Epson Easy Photo Fix®: Consumers can restore old faded color photos
back to their original brilliance with just one click with Easy Photo
Fix scanning technology. This software coupled with the all-in-one
hardware makes it easy to scan, restore, print, and share old memories.

-- Fit-to-page copying: The Epson CX7400 offers one-touch fit-to-page
copying of photos and documents, while the Epson CX8400 and Epson
CX9400Fax offer user-selectable reduction and enlargement from 25-400
percent.
