EPSON® launches a standalone all-in-one home photo centre to meet the requirements of photo enthusiasts

Placing the emphasis on high resolution printing and scanning, the Epson Stylus Photo RX620 all-in-one offers a complete no-compromise solution for home photo users working from both digital and analogue photo sources.

February 2005 -- Epson announces the latest addition to its all-in-one printer series, the Epson Stylus Photo RX620. The Epson Stylus Photo RX620 sports an array of features to meet the demands of photo enthusiasts who need to scan, print and store new and old images, making it the most versatile and easy to use all-in-one photo printer on the market.

The Epson Stylus Photo RX620 makes it easy to retrieve the photos you want from all of your photo archives. Using the 2400X4800 dpi MatrixCCD scanner, you can produce high-quality copies of photos, whilst the unique direct print function quickly produces photos directly from old negative film sources.

This all-in-one is an intuitive and easy to use home photo centre for the photographer who is not computer literate. Featuring a high resolution 2.5" preview monitor you can preview, edit, crop and restore photos without requiring a computer. The display also acts as a user interface, whilst the integrated memory card reader allows you to print directly from Digital Still Camera's, camera phones and PDA's supporting PictBridge, USB Direct Print** and Bluetooth* ®. For archiving old photos and film, the Epson Stylus Photo RX620 also allows you to back up data directly to memory cards or to external CD-R or Zip ® drives.

Richard Baylis, Sales and Marketing Manager, Consumer Products, Epson UK says, "The Epson Stylus Photo RX620 builds on Epson's impressive photo heritage by meeting the needs of users who may not want to abandon analogue photo processes. This product will appeal to any user who has a portfolio of film-based images. Not only can those images be digitized and reproduced, but uniquely the Epson Stylus Photo RX620 can restore lost clarity and colour."
