"Last year I took a look at the Epson MovieMate 60 projector, today I?ve got another one from Epson which is similar called the PowerLite Presenter. It?s a consumer/business class projector which features a built-in DVD player and inputs for pretty much everything including USB, HDMI and VGA. It?s meant to be an easy to use all around type of product that?s portable to take anywhere with you when you might have a need for a projector. "

"Many of today's printers can do more than just print. All-in-one printers can print, copy, scan, and some can even fax. However, the question is always, "How well can they perform each task?" When we tested the Epson WorkForce 610 All-in-One, we set out to answer that question."

The Epson PictureMate PM310 combines two devices into one; a digital photo frame and a compact photo printer. In our humble opinion, it only manages to get one right, but you'll have to read on to find out which one!

"Calling the Epson Stylus NX515 an all-in-one is a bit of stretch, considering it doesn't include a fax machine. On the other hand, not everyone wants or needs to send and receive faxes, and eliminating that feature while retaining a flatbed scanner brings the price of this pretty and relatively capable printer down to just $150. As such, the machine is certainly recommendable, albeit only for certain tasks. Read on for more details on whether or not it fits your needs."

Coming from a company with a well-earned reputation for high-quality photo printer output, the Stylus Photo R1900's UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 Ink works in harmony with the LUT technology and Epson paper to deliver outstanding photo quality for advanced photographers - the level you'd expect from a photo lab for professionals rather than from your local high-street store. It's not quite as good as Epson's flagship Stylus Photo R2400, but for the price it's a fantastic overall machine. The only gripes are perhaps the lack of an LCD and memory card slots for computer-independent printing, but the Stylus Photo R1900 isn't really designed for quickly printing holiday snaps - it's a serious printer for those who take their photography passionately. If you're not in a hurry you should bear in mind that Epson's new UltraChrome K3 ink printers are due to ship soon. The K3 ink set is a superior ink to the Hi-Gloss2 inks fitted in the Stylus Photo R1900, which is why they're used in all of Epson?s Professional printer models. But if you need a good all-round printer today, take a closer look if you're a serious amateur photographer or professional on a budget - along with Canon's equally impressive Pixma Pro9000.

The DX7400 is Epson's mid-range all-in-one. There are much better machines if money isn't an issue, but if you're value driven the dark grey-blue DX7400 is worth considering as it features Epson's excellent DURABrite Ultra individual inks, memory card slots and PictBridge direct printing. Print quality isn't too bad either and it's a snap to use, though if you're looking for a machine for your home office you will miss the lack of a built-in fax, optional ADF (Automatic Document Feeder), and even Ethernet.

Epson's Perfection V500 Photo has a lot going for it and is easily one of the best scanners in its price range. It allows a virtually instant start-up (useful for busy offices), has low power consumption, is a snap to use, and produces excellent scan results from both prints and film. The bundled software is useful, though you'll probably use your own imaging software, and the transparency unit is excellent for amateur photographers looking to digitise their old photographs. Professional photographers will demand more, but for the general populous the Perfection V500 Photo is a winner. It's also nice to know that you can use the scanner for office tasks, should you go for the optional ADF.

The Stylus DX4400 is a mixed bag. Epson has managed to produce a good-looking, functional all-in-one at a very competitive price, while still offering individual ink cartridges and low running costs. Print quality is also reasonable and the printer handles photo printing surprisingly well for a machine not geared specifically to photos. Where it misses out is on print speed and noise level. It takes a long time to produce a page and could never be described as quiet thanks to Epson's trademark paper feed mechanism.

On paper, Epson has put together a fearsome proposition in the EMP-TW1000. But we're sad to say that some pretty fundamental problems, especially in the black level department, mean that it doesn't even get close to delivering on its apparent potential.

This is a reasonable ink-jet photo printer, but it doesn't stand out from the crowd. Similar models from Canon and HP provide higher quality prints on plain paper and can match the Stylus Photo R285 on speed, despite their lower paper specifications. The Epson machine is quite cheap to run, but can be noisy, particularly if you print in draft mode.

Epson has made great efforts to produce a well-rounded business projector. The design is understated yet modern, and the feature set is almost ideal. It offers a good level of reliability, performance and functionality, and the fact that it's relatively light and portable means you don't necessarily have to mount it to your ceiling. The network system helps to minimise downtime and provides a good tool-set for projector management, and improved energy efficiency makes it more cost effective than a lot of other projectors. The additional security features also provide peace of mind for those operating in high-traffic environments. The only real criticisms are the lack of DVI input and modest resolution. If your business is video, you may also baulk at the relatively low contrast ratio, which can cause blurring on fast-moving images. But for typical business use the EMP-822 is a well-rounded choice.

The TW700 is based on Epson's 3LCD technology, which stands as the main rival to Texas Instruments DLP. Light from the lamp is shone though three separate high-temperature polysilicon LCD panels, a red, green, and blue, and the image then recombined before being projected outwards by the lens. There's a cool animation of this affect on the Epson website. Epson, claims that 3LCD gives a better image than DLP, as each colour is present the whole time in the image, as opposed to DLP, which uses tiny rotating mirrors into fooling the eye that the colours are always there, leaving it susceptible to the 'rainbow' image that some users claim to see. I think of it as the difference between a progressive and an interlaced image, but in terms of colour.

I should imagine that there aren't many digital photographers around that haven't run out of space now and then; the dreaded 'card full' symbol is enough to make anyone mutter a few expletives under the breath. Fortunately, Epson have come to the rescue with a handy little storage viewer that will fit into virtually any camera bag pocket. Now you don't need to panic when you?re down to your last few megabytes of space!
