Designed specifically for the home user who wants photo lab quality prints the Epson Stylus Photo R290 is a brilliant combination of advanced Epson photo printing technologies, delivering performance, quality and speed. Features Claria Photographic Ink - for Ultra High-Definition Prints When it comes to high quality printing, Epson's Claria Photographic Ink is simply remarkable. Formulated by Epson scientists specifically for exceptional photo and document printing results, Claria Photographic Ink is a perfect match for the range of genuine Epson photo papers and plain paper.
- Colour: As a result of its dyebased formulation, Claria Photographic Ink has exceptional light reflection characteristics, ensuring prints have vibrancy colour range and quality that is superior to those produced by photo labs.
- Durability: Photos are keepsakes, and Claria Photographic Ink affords prints which are highly resistant to the damaging effects of light and ozone gases. Printed on specialty Epson photographic papers, Claria photo prints will last up to 200 years when stored in an album.
- Clarity: One of the key features of Claria Photographic Ink is an incredibly fast drying time. Along with the fact that this means your photos can be handled almost as soon as they're printed, it eliminates the blurring effect that can occur with slowdrying inks where droplets actually blend into each other. High Speed Printing With print speeds of up to 38 pages per minute* and 4 x 6 inch photos in as little as 12 seconds, the Epson Stylus Photo R290 gets the job done fast without any compromise on quality. The ability to achieve this is the result of a combination of technologies that have been continually refined over the years, giving Epson printers the speed and quality edge in their class. Print direct to CD and DVD surfaces We live in a digital age; and creating your own CDs and DVDs for home movies, music and photographs is commonplace. The Epson Stylus Photo R290's, printing versatility encompasses printing direct onto the surface of compatible inkjet printable 8 and 12cm CDs and DVDs, for a persons; and professional touch. High quality printing Bring together advanced Epson print technologies, such as a Micro Piezo print head, Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT) and Resolution Performance Management (RPM), and you have a printer that delivers on quality. Utilising advanced RPM technology, which exploits the incredible levels of ink control afforded by the Micro Piezo print head and VSDT, the Epson Stylus Photo R290's printer driver intelligently determines the optimum ink droplet size for each minute area of the print. The result is an optimal balance between speed and quality, with RPM using mediumsized droplets for quickly laying down areas of solid colour, and finer droplets used in areas of colour gradation and blending Individual Intelligent ink cartridge system With individual Epson Intellidge ink cartridges, users only need to replace the colour they use. Each of the six (Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) Intellidge ink cartridges contains sophisticated circuitry that maintains an accurate record of how much ink has been used and the amount remaining, efficiently managing the use of ink to suit the job on hand. Ready out-of-the-box When you open the box of the Epson Stylus Photo R290, everything you need to start printing documents and photographs is right there, packed, of course, in environmentally friendly recyclable packing materials. Along with a power cable, the Stylus Photo R290 comes complete with a USB cable. To help you really make the most of your Stylus Photo R290's brilliant printing capabilities, a range of easytouse software titles are included, such as Epson Creativity Suite, to help manage, print and share photos and documents. Epson Micro Piezo Print Head At the heart of every Epson inkjet printer is a technology that sets it well ahead of the competition a Micro Piezo print head. It's exactly the same technology that many of the world's leading photographers, designers and signmakers use every day to achieve prints that are the world's best. Instead of using a system that quite literally boils the ink to fire off ink droplets, the Epson Stylus Photo R290's Micro Piezo print head technology takes full advantage of highprecision microelectronics to create perfectly spherical ink droplets at sizes as small as 1.5plso they are at the very limit of human vision. PhotoEnhance - the photographic expert inside your printer Epson PhotoEnhance analyses image data and, where necessary, adjusts printer settings to optimise photo print output. This new technology makes light work of correcting images that have been backlit, overexposed or suffer from poor colouring. The analysis of image data also provides Epson PhotoEnhance with the vital information it needs to adjust skin tones, scenery and landscapes. To use Epson PhotoEnhance, simply select it in the Epson Stylus Photo R290 printer driver. It's like have a photo printing expert inside the printer to add a professional touch. Epson PortraitEnhance: In addition to PhotoEnhance, the Epson Stylus Photo R290 also comes with PortraitEnhance which improves face definition and skin radiance creating beautiful photos.
