Features (continued)


Hooking up the device to a PC is easy: just connect it using the provided USB cable, pop in the CD, and in just a few minutes, you're ready to print.

Apart from the drivers, the bundle consists of the following software:


The software bundle


Epson EasyPrintModule, which works with your software to provide easy access to print settings.

Easy Photo Print, a useful software with step-by-step instructions that let you lay out and print digital images on various types of paper. You can also apply a variety of effects to your photos, and easily decorate your photographs with trendy frames using the PRINT Image Framer.

Epson Creativity Suite, a collection of programs that allow you to scan, save, manage, edit, and print images. It contains a program called File Manager, using which you can scan and save images, then display them in an easy-to-use window. Attach to Email is a feature that automatically downsizes large images and photographs so they can more easily be sent as e-mail attachments. (In addition, the Scan Assistant can scan from any scanner source and create an image file on your computer, but this is not really required, because most scanners or MFDs come with better software for the same thing.)

Epson also provides a camera RAW Plug-in to work with RAW image formats from professional cameras.


The main printer driver preferences


The driver interface is pretty simple, and hardly allows you to do anything with the quality of the prints. You can only choose a few settings such as paper size/type, layout, basic preset color, and quality correction options such as Digital Camera Correction, which cleans the photo of digital noise. This is expected, since there's a setting for any photo at which it is supposed to be printed -- at the highest possible quality, but a little freedom would have been a welcome feature.


The maintenance options in the printer driver settings


The maintenance tab of the printer driver interface gives you access to maintenance settings such as Status Monitor (of the ink level), Nozzle Check, head cleaning and alignment, and more.

i think if you compare it with the other brands its the best with the output cost as low as Rs8/- and if you do only pp on it it is even lower. Also depends upon your supplier and the quantities of consumables that you buy at 1 shot. The product is by far the best in the bussiness whenyou check the pic quality , features and correction options girish bhatia9820809189
