Epson Intros New Artisan 710, 810 All-In-Ones [Built-In Wi-Fi, Ethernet Networking, Automatic Two-Sided Printing]

I have always been a fan of Epson printers. I can still remember how cool I felt back in 1994 when I bought their first-ever Epson Stylus Color inkjet printer. I paid almost $400 for it back then (ach) but the quality was amazing. No one else had 720 dpi back then. Epson America continues to drive printing innovation with its new line of Artisan all-in-ones – the Artisan 710 and Artisan 810 – designed for everything from creative projects to afterhours work from home. Both of the new offerings feature built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet networking, automatic two-sided printing, blazing fast performance, and a host of unique features.

The latest all-in-ones from Epson have some pretty cool features like printing wirelessly from an Apple iPhone, charging a cell phone or MP3 player from the front USB port, and saving 50 percent more paper with automatic two-sided printing. The Artisan 810 offers built-in color fax with an Auto Document Feeder and a smart 7.8-inch touch screen for added convenience and productivity.

Using the convenient front panel features, consumers can easily preview, select, enhance, and print photos without a computer. The flagship Artisan 810 boasts a 7.8-inch smart touch panel and 3.5-inch color LCD that lights up only the buttons needed, while the Artisan 710 has an easy-to-use control panel with 2.5-inch LCD.

The Artisan 710 and 810 offer full-featured scanning and copying and distinctive standalone photo capabilities to print photos with or without a computer, supporting all popular memory card types and USB Flash drives. Both models offer built-in Automatic Photo Correction that can be previewed before printing, as well as automatic red eye removal and the ability to restore color to old, faded photos.

Both Artisan models blaze through printing tasks faster than competitors, printing a lab-quality 4×6-in photo in as fast as 10 seconds. They also deliver maximum print and copy speeds of up to 38 ppm in black and color, and laser-quality speeds of up to 9.5 ppm black and 9.1 ppm color.

The Artisan 710 ($179.99) and Artisan 810 ($299.99) are currently available through major computer, office and electronic superstores, a variety of retail stores nationwide, mail order, PC manufacturers, the Internet, and Epson’s retail site, www.epsonstore.com. Don’t look now, but according to the Epson website, they’re both sold out already!
