Epson Invites Craft Enthusiasts to Create a Personal Keepsake with Storyteller by Epson at MemoryTrends 2006


Show Attendees Can 'Make and Take' a Page of Cherished Photos Using StoryTeller® Photo Book Creator at the Epson Booth (#881)

LONG BEACH, Calif., Sept. 21 / -- In its ongoing commitment to the preservation of memories, Epson is inviting attendees at the MemoryTrends Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, Nev. on Oct. 10-12, to join craft experts to create and print a personal 5"x7" page of their favorite photos using the StoryTeller Photo Book Creator by Epson at Epson's booth #881.

Available on a first-come, first-served daily sign-up basis, crafters can bring their digital memory cards or thumb drive containing up to 10 personal photos to the Epson booth during show hours. With the StoryTeller Publisher software, participants can choose from 60 professionally designed page layout options, enhance their photos and write fun captions to create a 5"x7" page, providing crafters with a glimpse of the ease-of-use and variety of options available with StoryTeller. The keepsake page will be printed on Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy using Epson's latest photo printers for optimal print quality.

Crafters who create a 5"x7" StoryTeller page in the Epson booth will receive a free 5"x7" StoryTeller kit (valued at $19.99 MSRP) in order to create a full-length keepsake book at home. Chief Memory Officers(TM) (CMOs) can use StoryTeller to capture and relive special moments, whether it's a child's first day at school, a fall tailgate party or a special Halloween costume.

The StoryTeller Photo Book Creator kit includes everything needed to turn digital photos into a beautiful, hardbound glossy photo book. Starting at $20, the kit comes in 5"x7" or 8"x10" versions and includes a hardbound book, a glossy book cover and glossy pages that can be easily assembled into the book, as well as software that allows craft enthusiasts to enhance and place dozens of photos on either 10 or 20 pages per book. With any letter size printer, like the Epson Stylus® Photo RX580 Ultra Hi-Definition all-in-one, they can print and assemble a beautiful, hardbound photo book. Crafters can either create a book as a special gift for family or friends, or give the kit itself for the recipient who wants to create his or her own book. Once a book has been designed with the kit's software, it can be saved and reprinted as many times as needed for all of the names on a gift list for other friends or family members, saving valuable time.
