The Epson Stylus Photo RX690 is the latest Epson released printer which is designed to be ideal for home and small offices use that require a complete document and photo printing, scanning, copying solutions as well as an easy way to create and copy optical discs. The new Epson all in one printer is simply designed to be the totally efficient home and office printing solution.

All-in-one printing solutions designed for home and small offices are usually compromise products that sacrifice speed and quality in order to bring more functions in a single package. Unlike those products, the all-in-one Epson Stylus Photo RX690 makes no compromise between speed, quality and functions as it offers a high printing speed that goes up to 40 pages per minute for typical documents, while printing a borderless photo can take as little as 12 seconds. Because the all-in-one printer from Epson comes equipped with dual paper trays for greater paper storage capacity and optional duplexing for double-sided printing to reduce paper usage, it offers greater efficiency and productivity to a typical home or business environment.

Using the Epson Claria photographic ink which is designed for high quality and ultra high definition printing, the Stylus Photo RX690 offers richness, depth and clarity to all prints as the ink combined with special Epson printing paper delivers quality superior to photo lab prints. According to the news site dimagemaker which cites the original Epson press release concerning this product, the Stylus Photo RX690 comes with six individual Intellidge colour ink cartridges enabling users to replace only the depleted ink reserve and this way saving costs and lowering the total cost per print. As the Epson Stylus Photo RX690 all in one printer implements a number of innovative technologies like the MicroPiezo print head and Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT for short) with Resolution Performance Management (RPM for short), the new printer is capable of using several sizes of ink droplets for high definition printing which can go as high as 5760 optimized dots per inch. Thanks to the PhotoEnhance technology, the Stylus Photo RX690 can automatically adjust the color balance and saturation allowing for high quality portraits, landscapes or groups.

Being a complete printing solution the new Epson product is capable of operating without the backup of a computer system, allowing users to select, adjust and modify their documents and photos via a LCD screen embedded into the printer. As the printer also includes card slots compatible with most popular memory card formats, transferring images and documents is very easy and the entire process can be done without needing a PC.
