Epson America continues to drive printing innovation with its new line of Artisan all-in-ones — the Artisan 710 and Artisan 810 — designed for everything from creative projects to afterhours work from home. They deliver photos that are preferred by consumers 3-to-1 over the competition, built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet networking, automatic two-sided printing, blazing fast performance, and a host of unique features.
“These new all-in-ones offer the premium performance that the Epson Artisan family has become known for, plus a host of new capabilities designed specifically for today’s busy home,” said Steve Semos, product manager, Consumer Ink Jets, Epson America Inc. “With features such as printing wirelessly from an Apple iPhone, charging a cell phone or MP3 player from the front USB port, and saving 50 percent more paper with automatic two-sided printing, the Artisan 710 and 810 offer the entire family all the features expected from an all-in-one. Moreover, the Artisan 810 offers built-in color fax with an Auto Document Feeder and a smart 7.8-inch touch screen for added convenience and productivity.”
