Singapore, 7 November 2007 - Epson, a world leader in digital imaging, announced the launch of the EPSON Stylus™ Photo RX610 inkjet photo multifunction printer (MFP).  With digital photography becoming more widespread, this entry level photo MFP is poised to meet the needs of discerning photo enthusiasts.

EPSON Claria™ Photographic Inks for optimal quality prints
The pride of photographers is in their printed works.  By using EPSON Claria™ Photographic Inks, photo enthusiasts can be assured of stunning photo quality printouts lasting up to 200 years (in dark album storage conditions).  The inks are capable of replicating a wide range of colours and offer incredible brilliance and gloss, helping photographers everywhere achieve photo lab quality prints in the comfort of their own home or office.

The EPSON Stylus™ Photo RX610 utilises a six INKdividual™ cartridge configuration for excellent colour reproduction.  This proposition is also great for the cost conscious, since only depleted ink cartridges need to be replaced.

MFP convenience without sacrificing performance
The EPSON Stylus™ Photo RX610 brings together the convenience of a converged print, scan and copy platform with remarkable high speed performance.  The MFP prints at blistering speeds of up to 37 ppm (pages per minute) for A4 sized black text document and 38 ppm for colour documents.  A4 copy speeds are almost equivalent at 37 copies per minute.  Draft 4R prints are accomplished in just 12 seconds.

EPSON Stylus™ Photo RX610 employs Epson's award-winning Micro Piezo* print head and Advanced Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT) for high speed, precision and outstanding quality in printing.  With ink droplet sizes as fine as 1.5 picolitres and print resolutions at up to 5760 dots per inch, expect crisp sharp prints every time. 

Be it copying documents or photos, the MFP's full featured copier renders dedicated personal copiers obsolete.  With the full range of copier options such as border free copy, repeat copy functions and more, you can be assured of fast and accurate reproductions. 

Your personal photo lab
Like a true photo lab, the EPSON Stylus™ Photo RX610 also offers a full card slot bay and PictBridge for PC-less connections.  Users also have the option of a Bluetooth adaptor for wireless printing. 

Furthermore, a 2.5" crystal clear LCD screen and two sets of intuitively located buttons gives users access to a complete range of navigation and print, scan and copy functions. 

Achieve that professional finish
The new MFP also comes bundled with a host of sophisticated yet easy to use software for the complete printing solution.

The default EPSON PhotoEnhance™ automatically detects images and adjusts colour tones to ensure printouts are vivid and realistic, while the EPSON PortraitEnhance offers superior skin radiance and sharpens face definitions for impressive portraits.

Whether you are looking for easy to achieve great looking prints at home or a photo enthusiast particular with high specifications, the EPSON Stylus™ Photo RX610 with the convenience of print, scan and copy will surely be top of the list.  Priced at S$328, the printer is available from 9 November 2007.
