Epson is set to offer a new all-in-one printer with wired and wireless network connectivity which will reportedly offer an ability to make it easier to install on a network. The Epson Stylus CX9475Fax will price at around $180.

The Epson Stylus CX9475Fax lets Windows users “connect to a wireless network through a streamlined, automated configuration” by integrating the printer and printer server installation applications. Once up on a network it offers up printing, copying, scanning, and black-and-white or color faxing, as well as the ability to print photos with or without a computer, using the 2.5-inch tilt LCD.

Another new digital imaging related offering from Canon this week is a new inkjet photo printer which can print photos at up to 4800×1200. It is the Canon PIXMA iP2600 Photo Printer and price is set at around $50.

The Canon PIXMA iP2600 Photo Printer, besides offering print head technology which can do the 4800×1200 resolution, can print borderless 4- x 6-inch photos in 55 seconds.

Using Bluetooth technology you can print from your laptop, BlackBerry, or any device that has Bluetooth capability.

Polaroid launched at CES a new way to print instant photos from Bluetooth and USB-enabled mobile phones and digital cameras. It makes use of a technology by Zink to accomplish its mobile printing goals.

The Polaroid Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer, powered by Zink Zero Ink Printing Technology, lets consumers create full-color digital photos without ink cartridges or ribbons. It makes use of special paper inside the printer which “is an advanced composite material with embedded yellow, magenta and cyan dye crystals, activated with 200 million heat pulses, in 30 seconds, in a single pass.”

Brother has a new label-printing product hitting CES this year that packs some impressive features into a small package. This Brother QL-570, designed with the small business in mind, connects to your PC or Mac via USB and has included software to make label printing relatively easy and actually pretty fast.

The software has a few print modes ranging from basically taking a screen shot to highlighting and printing or actually creating high quality labels. It supports up to 300 x 600 dpi resolution and can print out logos or graphics making professional looking labels for your letters, products or anything else you might get label-happy with. The only nice feature about this label printer aside from it’s reasonable $100 price tag is the speed. It can push out simple text-only labels faster than 1 per second at a rate of 68 per minute.

The Epson PictureMate PM270 4R portable photo printer is a nice compact photo printer. It comes complete with a carry handle and folds into a box when not in use. The quality is supposed to be very nice. It’s integrated with Epson Claria PhotoEnhance, as well as an ‘automatic scene correction function’ that optimizes skin tones, and color casts and exposure levels to produce photos as close to perfection as it’s possible to get.

You can also print without being directly connected to a PC. The LCD screen is a tiltable 3.6″. It even has a Bluetooth toggle to print photos from your cell or any other Bluetooth enabled device. The PictureMate uses a single ink cartridge which will be a blessing to many people. All in all it looks like a pretty convenient photo printer.

The Presto printer can receive emails and photos without having to be hooked to a computer. Think about it. That makes it a breeze for the elderly to get into the action. Those who are not comfortable with the computer won’t have to go near it. (Everybody knows that computers, like robots, steal old peoples medicine.) The printer comes with a $10 per month service, even though the service doesn’t seem to cover the internet connection.

It’s sort of like an Email to fax setup. After setting it up you can even SPAM-filter incoming messages. All you need is a regular phone line. It sells for about $150. All in all that’s not alot to pay to keep the elderly or computer-shy informed and be able to send them photos and emails. Grandma will be happy because she gets neat pictures through the magic box and Grandpa’s ears will be happy because she’s occupied and won’t nag him about watching TV all day. Everybody wins.

We know - it’s a printer. How boring…yeah, yeah. We do try to cover them once in a while though for those people who actually like to know how many pages per minute print. That being said, check out the new Brother DCP-9040CN, priced at around $600.

The Brother DCP-9040CN spits out up to 21 pages per minute in both color and monochrome. It’s classified by Brother as a digital laser copier/printer.

Sure you could design and print off your own labels for any burned DVDs or CDs that you make but why bother when you have a Sharpie pen within easy grasp? For those of you that aren’t as filled with sloth as ourselves and are also on a budget Dymo’s DiscPainter offers an affordable alternative to those expensive CD printers out there. For a cost of $279 you get a printing station that can produce high quality disc artwork and it only takes one minute of wait time to do so. The software that comes with the printer is compatible with all of the other major art programs like Quark, Photoshop and Illustrator so you don’t need to worry about compatibility issues. Amazingly it only weighs a little over two-and-a-half pounds and is about as compact as today’s average printers. The Dymo DiscPainter hasn’t arrived on the market yet but should be here soon so start brushing up on your Photoshop skillz.

In a way, the Casio USB label mouse from Brando looks like an updated fortune cookie. It’s a pretty innovative doubling up of 2 products. Just print labels directly from your mouse.

This is probably for those people that need to label everything with their name on it. There is a drawback however. The thermal roll paper isn’t cheap. It retails for $14 for a pack of 3. Ouch! The mouse itself costs $29. But you really can’t put a price on cool. It might save your desktop from Post-It overload.

While there never really is anything sexy to say about all-in-one printers Brother has unveiled a few new models which at least have our heads turning. The most interesting of these is the MFC-885CW, priced at around $250.

The Brother MFC-885CW is one of the first inkjet printers to sport a widescreen color LCD, measuring 4.2-inches. This larger screen display, says Brother, helps users better preview digital photos off of a supported media card as well as previewing incoming faxes before printing. This model is also quite network ready, offering both Ethernet and wireless 802.11 connectivity offerings.
