Performance. Precision. Brilliance.
For more than a decade, Epson has set the standard by which all other photographic printing technologies are measured. So, when our engineers decided to develop the ultimate printing technology for Engineering Scientific and Display Signage applications, we focused on three main goals - Performance, Precision, and Brilliance.
Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus® Pro 7700 and 9700 printers The Epson Stylus Pro 7700 (24-inch) and Epson Stylus Pro 9700 (44-inch) incorporate our latest achievements in high-performance ink jet printing. By combining the extreme precision of our MicroPiezo TFP™ print head, with the extraordinary performance of Epson UltraChrome® Vivid Magenta Ink, our newest generation of Epson Stylus Pro printers represent a level of printing technology unprecedented within the Engineering Scientific and Display Signage markets. Our advanced Epson MicroPiezo TFP print head is capable of producing extremely precise text and line-art, along with brilliant photographic quality prints, at speeds almost twice as fast as our previous generation. And, with our latest ink-repelling coating and auto nozzle verification technologies, clogged nozzles are virtually eliminated.
Epson UltraChrome Vivid Magenta represents our latest generation of pigment ink technology. Utilizing four colors - including dual-black ink technology - Epson UltraChrome VM Ink produces industry-leading color with true archival capability. Even more remarkable, when combined with our new Epson AccuPhoto™ HD screening technology, Epson has once again raised the level of photographic print quality, while setting a new benchmark standard for line-art precision reproduction and color accuracy.
With every new introduction of an Epson Stylus Pro printer, we continue to innovate and refine the overall printing experience. Whether producing high-resolution architectural plans, highly-precise engineering drawings, extremely photographic GIS mapping output, or brilliant display signage, never before have Engineering Scientific and Creative Professionals had such powerful tools, allowing them to print their vision without compromise.

A Based upon print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend upon front-end RIP, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage, networking, etc. Normal Mode based on SuperFine - 1440 dpi.B Cartridge yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. A variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the "replace cartridge" signal. Part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer. Ink is used for both printing and print head maintenance. All inks are used for both black and color printing. For more information about cartridges see www.epson.com/cartridgeinfoC Ink lightfastness rating based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media displayed indoors under glass. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or lamination or properly store them. Visit www.wilhelm-research.com for the latest information.
