Singapore, 21 September 2007 - Epson, a world leader in digital imaging, announced the launch of the EPSON Stylus™ CX8300.  The classy two-tone black AIO (all-in-one) features very high print, scan & copy speeds, a large tilt-able LCD viewer, optional high capacity black ink cartridge and improved DURABrite Ultra inks. The new AIO is designed for the home and office user who demands advanced digital imaging capabilities with the assurance of extraordinary ease-of-use. 

Sharp and clear - 2.5inch tilt-able LCD sceen
Take full control of your images!  The EPSON Stylus™ CX8300 allows users to access a wide range of print, scan & copy functions via a panel of intuitive control buttons.  You can preview images stored in memory cards or from PictBridge-enabled devices on the generous built-in 2.5inch tilt-able LCD viewer.  Using the one-touch buttons, manage image-editing functions and confirm print jobs on the LCD viewer before printing - all without the use of a PC! 

Amazing quality prints at faster than ever speeds!
The convenience of the EPSON Stylus™ CX8300 doesn't come at a loss of speed or quality.  The new AIO is equipped with the new improved DURABrite Ultra inks which are specifically formulated to produce sharp quality document prints comparable to monochrome laser printers and even glossier photo prints.  What's more, with the award-winning Micro-Piezo* print head as the engine, the AIO zips effortlessly through documents an incredible rate of 32ppm (pages per minute) for both black and colour documents at resolutions of up to 5760dpi (dots per inch) to leave competitors in its wake.

Together with 4R printing speeds of just 19 seconds, high copy speeds of up to 30 cpm (copies per minute) and scanning resolutions of up to 1200dpi (dots per inch), even the most discerning users would find it hard to pinpoint serious flaws with the imaging capabilities of the EPSON Stylus™ CX8300.

High capacity black ink cartridge for higher page yield
In view of the increasing volume of office document printing, users with higher print volumes would be pleased to learn that the EPSON Stylus™ CX8300 is compatible with either the standard capacity or high capacity black ink cartridge.  The choice allows users to decide the most economical solution according to their personal printing demands.  The black ink cartridge, together with the other three colour ink cartridges, comes in individual cartridges for maximum savings as you only need to replace what you need.

Improved EPSON Creativity Suite
Whether it is for photo fun or in pursuit of the perfect photo, the updated EPSON Creativity Suite offers powerful and easy-to-use photo and document management software.  The default EPSON PhotoEnhance is a smart software which automatically adjusts skin tones, colour casts and exposure levels to aid in producing the perfect photo.  Also bundled, an advanced Dust Removal Tool is a one-click dust removal tool to remove unsightly dust deposits, while the EPSON Easy Photo Print helps users achieve photo lab quality prints in just three simple steps.

With the host of features, the EPSON Stylus™ CX8300 represents the pinnacle of mid-range AIOs without any compromise.  The AIO is priced at S$228 and is available now.  Standard ink cartridges are priced at S$17.10 while the high capacity ink cartridges are priced at S$23.00.  For heavy users, the high capacity ink cartridges are also available in a value double pack priced at S$41.40.
