Singapore, 13th September 2006 - Epson, a world leader in digital imaging, announced the launch of the EPSON Stylus CX2900.  The new entry-level AIO (all-in-one) offers a total solution to home users looking for fast printouts and unrivaled low long term operating cost with unbeatably priced INKdividual inks. 

AIOs are prized for their versatility of combining the functions of a scanner, copier and printer in a single compact unit.  With the increasing demand for all things digital, an AIO slips seamlessly alongside other digital devices in a modern home.  The EPSON Stylus CX2900 is specifically designed to offer reliable high quality digital imaging and printing solutions at an affordable price.

Stretch your money further with INKdividual cartridges
To assure users of low running cost, the EPSON Stylus CX2900 is the market's only entry-level AIO with individual ink cartridges.  This simply means users only need to replace the colour that runs out rather than the full set of inks.  The new AIO also uses Epson's new low-priced inks.  Despite the low price, the new inks do not compromise print quality and continue to deliver outstanding printouts.  Using this system, users can be certain of remarkable savings in the long run.     

Experience blistering print speeds and premium quality printouts!
From the fast print speeds to incredible print quality and user-friendly features, every function of the new AIO is designed for optimal convenience and ease-of-use.  With the EPSON Stylus CX2900, users can now spend more time enjoying their prints rather than getting locked in the dull wait for printouts.  The AIO is capable of printing black text at speeds of up to 23 pages per minute. 
 
Using the same cutting edge inkjet technology found on Epson's range of high-end professional printers, users can attain expert results at home!  To deliver amazing printout resolutions of up to 5760dpi, EPSON Stylus CX2900 employs Epson's innovative Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT) and the award-winning Micro Piezo* print head system.  These advanced technologies form the core or Epson's printers to automatically adjust ink droplet size and volume to ensure consistent high quality output.

One-touch copy and scan function - Maximum ease, minimum hassle

The button configuration on the EPSON Stylus CX2900 is designed to simplify the print, scan and copy process.  The button configuration is intuitively located on the AIO's left panel so even first time users will find it easy to use.

To copy or scan documents, users simply need to press the corresponding button to begin operations.  The one-touch function means copying or scanning begins immediately without having to sift through complex sub-menus.    The straightforward scanning function also allows home users to backup documents and photos in softcopy with maximum ease.

Fun and easy to use software for limitless creative fun!
The EPSON Stylus CX2900 ups the fun factor in home photo printing with bundled software for infinite creativity!  Users can utilize the Print Image Framer (P.I.F.) and P.I.F. Designer to design frames and select themes to accompany family photographs.  Faded memories on old photographs can also be impeccably revived at the touch of a button with the easy to use Epson Easy Photo Fix. 

Best of all, even for beginners, Epson PhotoEnhance offers the ultimate photo print results without the need for complicated software foreknowledge.  With this feature, images are automatically analysed and the appropriate enhancements applied.  For example, this smart feature automatically corrects skin tones in photographs to achieve more life-like colours. 

At an affordable price of S$158 and with features to do everything you need with documents and images, start impressing your colleagues, friends and family with ease.  The EPSON Stylus CX2900 is available from September 2006.
