Stylus C43 ease-of-use holds appeal for home users


August 19 2003

EPSON recently announced the introduction of its inkjet printer designed with the first time user in mind. The Stylus C43 replaces the Stylus C42 and provides fast reliable colour printing features that will appeal to the home-users in the Middle East.

The EPSON Stylus C43 is extremely easy to set up, requiring no expert knowledge. It can quickly produce beautiful, vibrant, colour prints from almost any Windows or Macintosh application. The EPSON Stylus C43 offers the fastest black printing speed in its class (12ppm black economy mode, 5.5ppm colour economy mode).

“The market segment for printers in the Middle East includes a large number of personal users specifically families who look for ease-of-use and multiple options when they select a printer for home use. First-time printer users are generally looking for a good quality, simple-to-install, user friendly printer that is suitable for a variety of purposes including printing web pages, correspondence, school projects and photos. The EPSON Stylus C43 fulfills all these criteria and is ideally suited for the varied needs of busy families in the region,” said Khalil El Dalu, General Manager, EPSON Middle East.

This entry-level model includes many of EPSON’s advanced technologies to ensure the best possible print quality, such as EPSON’s Variable Sized Droplet Technology that produces droplets as small as 4 picolitres. This is the finest droplet size in its class combined with the highest resolution of 2880 optimised dpi ensuring that the Stylus C43 prints text very clearly and photos in great detail.

The UX and Plus models of the Stylus C43 use standard Universal Serial Bus connectivity, which provides high-speed data transfer to the printer. The printer driver is specially designed to make access to everyday printing settings easy and straightforward. Even novice users will be able to quickly produce excellent results. For users with an existing PC the Stylus C43SX offers parallel connectivity.

The EPSON Stylus C43 is derived from the Stylus C42, which has proven itself as one of the most reliable inkjet printers on the market. EPSON customers can expect a long and productive life from their Stylus C43 thanks to the robust and proven build quality.
