Epson has
announced two new four-color inkjet printers for use with Macintosh
systems. Epson touts the new printers as "whisper-quiet."
The new models include the Stylus
Color 83 and Stylus Color 880i feature
up to 2,880 x 720 DPI resolution and 4 picoliter droplets. The
printers deliver up to 12 pages per minute in black text and up
to nine PPM for text and color graphics.
Priced at
$169 (following a $30 mail-in rebate), the Stylus Color 83
also includes a coupon in for a free matching ergonomic printer
stand. The
Stylus Color 880i is priced at $149 and offers an "ice" exterior
case with a transparent graphite lid.
Both
printers have also been engineered for greater saturation, improved
shadows and highlights that result in intense detail, according
to Epson.
The Stylus Color 83 and Stylus Color 880i come with
a software bundle that includes Film Factory for collecting and
organizing digital photos and Trellix Web for creating personalized
Web sites. Also included are ArcSoft Photo Impression 2000 and
ArcSoft Photo Montage.
