The Epson Stylus photo printer solves that problem. It prints top quality 8- by 10-inch photos and a whole lot more. You can use it as your main printer for Word documents, use it as a copier, a scanner, and even print directly onto CDs and DVDs. The RX680 prints 4- by 6-inch photos as fast 11 seconds, and can handle up to 40 pages per minute of regular printing.

I found it not to be the fastest machine on the block, but I was quite willing to sacrifice a little speed for amazing picture quality, even at 8- by 10-inch size. I did have a couple of glitches with paper jams when I first started testing the product, but that problem seemed to go away. The RX680 has all the features you could ask for, including two paper trays, the ability to preview photos before printing and all kinds of photo correction and cropping capabilities.
