Epson's Female Printer

Posted by michael on from the tee-hee-tee-hee dept.

zmcnulty writes "I finished translating the K-Tai Watch (Japanese) article about a new printer in the Colorio line from Epson. It's not only being marketed at women, it was completely designed by 'Team8' - an all-female project team created within Epson specifically for making a printer 'easy for women to use.' Here is the original Japanese press release." Apparently they've been reading these studies.

    First Volvo proposes a car with the hood welded shut, and that rarely needs an oil change. Now Epson proposes a printer that is "easier for women to use". Why don't they just say "breasts lower IQ's" or "that's okay little lady, we know you can't read an owners manual".
