Epson has introduced the Stylus Photo RX700 multi-function printer/scanner. Billed as "the ultimate home photo centre", the device can print on inkjet-printable CDs and DVDs and can also work with a digital camera directly, without needing a Mac.

Offering high-resolution and enhanced fade resistance, it’s a good choice for photographers who want to produce high-quality archival prints.
Epson’s 6mp R-D1 shares some features with the recently announced R3A. It includes the same bright, life-size finder magnification, and aperture priority exposure control.
