Epson Artisan- The Real Scoop

The Internet has been abuzz with reports of the greatness of the Epson Artisan printer. You may wonder what could be so great about this specific printer.

You wanna know the truth, the real truth?

Ok, because I love you, I will tell you.

The Epson Artisan has been to the moon!

Ok, maybe not, but it is wireless. When I am sitting on my porch with my trusty laptop watching the boys wrestle in the yard play football, I can still print. Did you hear me, Friends of Fussy? I print from my porch. Magically, the printer in the office has my papers all beautiful and ready when I come in! {swoon}

The Epson Artisan helped in the Superbowl!

Ok, that was a stretch, but it does have a sweet scanner that lets me scan my jewelry and I can avoid pulling my hair out from trying to take a decent photo. I just put my jewelry on the scanner and presto! A sweet picture!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Epson Artisan stops global warming!

Or not, but, it makes really cool coloring book pages from anything. The kids scanned in their football cards & favorite picture book graphics to color and create little masterpieces. It prints so fast that my husband is buying one for his office. He can't handle how slow his office printer seems in comparison.

The Epson Artisan bakes cakes!

Nah, even better, you can plug in your memory card or flash drive and edit photos on the fancy schamcy display. You can write text on them, too. I did all that before I even read the instructions! Straight outta the box!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Epson Artisan won a gold medal!

Sadly, it is not really waterproof and I do not endorse swimming with your Epson. But, you can put a CD in and it prints on it! Yes, right on the CD. Even I figured it out. Let me tell you, that is amazing. I first used this printer with out reading the manual. :)

More descriptions of the awesomeness of this little machine can be found here.

Epson has not only developed a sweet printer, but they treat the people they work with and their customers with respect and thoughtfulness. I think it is so important for us to support companies that "get it". Epson gets it!

We are soon giving away one of these awesome babies at Blissfully Domestic, and Epson has graciously given our readers a huge discount. $60 off instantly and an extra ink bundle. I love them. Click here!

Blissfully Domestic Nashville Blogging Conference- I haz it!

Blissfully Domestic is hosting our first blogging & social networking conference next month here in beautiful Nashville. We are teaming up with the wonderful people at Epson to host a fun, intimate and informative conference and fun cocktail party.

On Saturday, October 18th, we will host a free {yes, I said free} all-day event  featuring brilliant women from across the globe. All speakers will be on panels sharing our knowledge, tips, secrets and lives. Because we are focusing on Q & A sessions we will limit our attendee size to 75.

We just opened a forum discussion on the Blissfully Domestic Social Network. Please join in. All through the week, the attendees and speakers will be joining in and announcing their involvement.

We will open up registration on Friday and announce the lucky women who get to attend on Monday. If, due to space concerns, you are unable to get a seat, have no fear. We are planning a huge annual blogging conference in February. We think February is a perfect time to escape with our girlfriends for a weekend, don't you?

Now, head on over to the BDLiving Social Network to find out more, add your thoughts & ideas and find out which of your favorite bloggers will be there! Maybe like her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her or her? And that was just to name a few!

Love to you all, Alli
