All-in-one Wireless Printers: Epson Artisan Series

Okay, we are jazzed about these printers--get one! Epson recently launched two new all-in-one printers that are looking very snazzy... say hello to the Artisan 700 ($200) and the Artisan 800 ($300). What do these hunks of vivid love do? Well, they of course scan, fax and print (up to 38 pages per minute), including the ability to print directly on CD/DVD. Photo printing quality is great, featuring the six-color Ultra Hi-Definition Claria ink. They read memory cards for direct camera-to-printer printing. There's a fabulous LCD touch screen control panel. And best of all, the Artisans come with wi-fi. And the units are petite--just 6 inches tall! The main difference between the models is that the Artisan 800 sports a higher scanning resolution (4800 dpi), larger LCD panel with more controls and the ability to fax. For $100 more, we think the Artisan 800 is your best bet. (via Gizmodo)
