Epson has announced the new Epson Stylus Photo R240 - a four color printer designed for novice digital camera users who want an affordable method of printing out their pictures.

The R240 uses just four inks (Black, Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta) to print out high quality digital photographs at resolutions up to 5760x1440dpi. Epson uses its Variable Size Droplet Technology which allows the printer to create ink droplets as small as 2pl. The photo printer can print out 24 borderless 10 x 15cm prints in only 20 minutes time. A single 10 x 15 cm print will take you roughly 47 seconds to print out on the R240.

The printer also features a 1.5 inch color LCD display which allows you to configure the printer and also view/select/print digital images stored on a media card or via PictBridge supported digital cameras. Via BIOS Magazine
