Epson Stylus CX7000F Gives Small/Home OfficeUsers More Productivity-Enhancing Features with Fax for Less than $150

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Jan. 9, 2007 – All-in-one products for home and small office users are continuing to evolve and deliver more innovative features at an exceptional value. Epson is leading this charge through its line of More-In-One products that provide customers with more of what they want – superior print quality on plain and photo paper with DURABrite® Ultra inks, as well as full-featured scanning, copying and fax functionalities. The Epson Stylus CX7000F is the latest addition to Epson's More-in-One line.

"The Epson Stylus CX7000F delivers all the versatility consumers demand, in addition to the superior output quality they have come to expect from Epson," said R. Craig Allen, product manager, consumer ink jets, Epson America, Inc. "Consumers also have the added assurance of knowing that some of the same great leading-edge technology that makes Epson the overwhelming brand of choice among professional photographers is working to create brilliant results for everyday projects at work or at home."

The high performance Epson Stylus CX7000F features a high-speed fax, DURABrite Ultra pigment ink for long-lasting prints that are smudge, fade and water resistant, individual ink cartridges and high-speed printing and copying (up to 27 ppm/cpm1 for black and color documents) with auto reduction and enlargement. The Epson Stylus CX7000F also features card slots to print BorderFree® 4"x 6," 5"x 7" or letter size photos directly from a memory card or PictBridge-enabled camera without a computer. For added versatility, this new More-in-One features photo color restoration and OCR software.

The Epson Stylus CX7000F offers innovative technology that extends black ink printing. This convenient feature provides users the option to continue printing black text using color inks when black ink is running low - a life-saver when stores are closed and there is still printing to be done. DURABrite Ultra ink provides brilliant output on both plain or photo paper. There is no need to buy special photo cartridges, and no added hassle to swap cartridges depending on what is being printed.

The Epson Stylus CX7000F is the More-In-One that will provide high-quality documents and photos that will help make any project look professional. And, it is certified for Microsoft's new Windows Vista operating system, available on Jan. 30, 2007. For information on Epson’s support of Windows Vista, visit www.Epson.com/Vista.
