The next unit in the range, the TX200 is an all-purpose multifunction printer with photo features for the value-conscious home user, and claims to provide fast and efficient copying, scanning and printing. Print speed is up to 34 pages per minute for black and white and colour on plain paper, and 26 secs for a 4×6 inch borderless photo printed on Epson premium glossy photo paper. The scanner has an optical resolution of up to 2400 dpi, and a copy speed up to 30 copies per minute in both black and white and colour.

Finally there is the low-end Stylus TX100, which is an entry level all-purpose multifunction printer with speedy print, copy and scan capabilities. Print speed for A4 black text is up to 26 pages per minute and for A4 colour text up to 14 pages per minute, and copying speed is as fast as three seconds per page.

Epson DURABrite ink is claimed to be resistant to water and smudging, produces sharp detail in text and images on a wide variety of papers. A USB cable is included with each model for immediate out-of-box use.
