Epson rolls out two low-cost photo ink jet printers
The Epson Stylus Photo R340 is a PC-free printer that incorporates a 2.4-inch LCD preview monitor making it possible to select, crop, and print photos in full color without a connected computer. The R340 features an intuitive control panel with simple on-screen menus, providing selections such as paper type, paper size, and number of copies. A new "print by date" option that finds photos by the date they were taken. The panel also provides views of photos with or without on-screen text, enables viewing and selecting of photos using thumbnails, and enables selection of a range of photos for printing. The R340 prints black documents at 15 ppm (pages per minute), and offers frame-ready borderless images like its counterpart, the R220. The device can also save images to an external CD-R, Zip drive, or Flash memory drive. The R340 supports printing directly from Bluetooth-enabled phones, the Bluetooth adapter is priced at $70.

So far, so good. Haven;t used the CD printing yet, but the color looks very good on photo paper.
