The Epson Ultra Hi-Definition line of photo printers we reported on back in August are now available. So if you’ve got a whole lotta pent up aggression toward your current photo printer, we think it’s about time you took a baseball bat to it and replaced it with one of these beauties that churns out extra-delicious-looking pictures using the company’s new Claria Hi-Definition six-color, dye-based ink that’ll last up to 200 album-kept years and are smudge and scratch resistant.

The TW1000 will sell in Japan for about $3,000. No word yet on when we might see it over here, but Epson does like to share, so hopefully soon.

It's pretty much a great photo dump and video player, if you fit yet another gadget into our camera bag. We may have to take out all this Jello Pudding. Damn it.

You can use the wireless to stream actual video in MPEG2 format to the projector, which also supports pausing, fast-forwarding and rewinding of video. In addition, the EMP-1715 can play presentations off a USB Key, meaning you can leave your laptop at home. The presentations on the USB disk can most likely be images or MPEG2 movies, but we're not sure about powerpoint presentations.

Epson’s rolled out the Epson Stylus Photo R260, R380 and RX580, all “Ultra Hi-Definition” and all using Epson’s MicroPiezo print head to pump out great photos. The R260, which doesn’t need a PC to operate, costs $129 and has a 3.5-inch display to preview photos, memory card slots, and can print 4×6, 5×7, 8×10 and 8.5×11 prints. It can produce a 4×6 “lab quality” photo in 13 seconds. The R380 also has the 3.5-inch LCD display, can also print the 4×6 photo in 13 seconds, and outputs black or color text at 30 pages per minute. This model has the added bonus of saving your images from the memory card to a CDR, ZIP drive or a USB thumb stick, directly from the printer. The R380 will be $199. Finally, the RX580 can do everything the two lesser models can, like printing the 4×6 in 13 seconds, but has a 2.5-inch instead of 3.5-inch LCD, and has a 1200x2400dpi scanner. The RX580 will be $199 as well. Product Page [Epson] Epson Unveils Trio of Hi-Def Photo Printers [Pop Photo via Engadget] → Read More
