Epson Printer - Stylus Photo RX560 review

Epson Printer - Stylus Photo RX560 reviewGone are the days when you need three different pieces of equipment to do their printing, scanning and copying. But like everything in a market continues to expand, it is often difficult to decide between so many similar products, except for the obvious factors such as price and specialization.

Epson Stylus Photo of the series has the advantage that already have built a solid reputation for high quality image and reproduction, since many of its recent printers of its innovative feature Claria photographic ink (which ‘guarantees’ Tiznen and vanishing without durability of up to 200 years) The results are likely to be good.

The Epson Stylus Photo RX560 current trends continue for a period of six individual ink cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light cyan and light magenta), which means greater authenticity and cheaper replacement costs (averaging £ 6.99 per cartridge). Once again, Epson established drops of variable size Advanced Technology uses a range of 1.5pl for areas where the detail is required, where there are large drops blocks of color, resulting in smoother gradations and shades.

The design of the Epson Stylus Photo RX560 is a bit peculiar, however, as the front juts toward you as the bow of a boat, with the cardholder memory angled away from you at the bottom. The other annoyance is the positioning of the USB port on the machine under the screen scanning, which shortens the length of lead USB computer printer.

These physical irritations aside, the biggest attraction of this all-in-one is the ability to dispense with a PC almost in its entirety. You can connect your digital camera directly through PictBridge, insert a memory card into the holder, connect an external source (such as a mobile phone) through an optional Bluetooth adapter or simply a place to print or slide into the scanner.

Then you see your impressions through the 2.5-inch LCD screen and size, crop, edit, remove red eye and add funky frames using the built-in print framed picture and PhotoEnhance technology. PhotoEnhance is particularly useful because it can improve the tone and contrast, as well as in soft colors faded prints. Once completed, you can export your images to a computer, print them or save them on a CD or DVD using the template included.

The printing speed is a pleasant 30ppm text and 13 seconds per 10 x 15cm (4 x 6 inches) of photos. The text print quality is much less true and strong, but the 5760 x 1440dpi achievable in the photos is impressive. Surprisingly, there is no separate black ‘n’ white buttons to copy and scan - these options have to be addressed through the menu screen - but once again, the 1200 x 2400 dpi is the current standard.
