The lowly printer has long been hidden under our desks, thoroughly out of sight. Epson’s new Artisan 800, however, is easier on the eyes than the traditional gray box.
This glossy black inkjet printer looks more like a sleek piece of modern furniture than a boxy peripheral. It supports Wi-Fi printing and includes a swiveling touch panel and a 3.5-inch L.C.D. screen for viewing pictures before printing them.
The printer can produce graph and college-ruled paper on the fly and also print labels onto inkjet-compatible optical discs. It prints 38 pages a minute in black and white and can print an 8 by 10 photo in 50 seconds. It includes a scanner and copier with a resolution up to 4,800 dots per inch. The Artisan 800 costs $300 and will be available later this month. Of course, owning an attractive printer brings its own problem: do you have the desk real estate to display it?
