In the Presario models also there are three price points — Rs. 29,990, Rs. 37,990 and Rs. 49,990. Both models are targetted towards the home users.

The company, today, also effected across the board price cut in its all-in-one printers for the home segment under which PSC 1210 would now cost Rs. 5,999 instead of Rs. 7,999 while OJ 5110 would be priced at Rs. 8,999 from the earlier Rs. 11,999 and PSC 2110 costing Rs. 10,999, down from Rs. 13,999.
