Introducing EPSON’s Advanced
COVERPLUS
PerfectPicture Imaging System™
Defining a new standard in print quality, the exclusive
EPSON PerfectPicture Imaging System™ is central to the
amazing performance of EPSON Stylus inkjet printers,
bringing together cutting-edge developments in four
main areas:
EPSON Advanced MicroPiezo™
Technology
EPSON Advanced MicroPiezo™
Technology includes two major new
features: EPSON Ultra MicroDot™
and EPSON Variable-Sized Droplet
Technology. The Advanced
MicroPiezo™ Printhead is central to
these developments, and includes
an increased number of print
nozzles, both black and colour, to
bring improvements in quality and
a 40% improvement on speed.
EPSON Ultra MicroDot™ enables the
Stylus COLOR 740 to deliver the
smallest dot in the world, an
astonishing 6pi (picolitres), while
EPSON’s breakthrough Variable
Sized Droplet Technology makes
three dot sizes possible - 6, 10
and 19pi (picolitres) - on one
page, targeting the smallest dots
at areas of detail while utilising
the largest for areas of block
colour.
In addition to maximising the
efficiency of the printer’s ink
cartridges and optimising print
speed, these new developments
assure Photo Quality images with
exceptional definition and
industry-leading resolution,
creating even smoother, sharper
and more detailed results than
ever before.
AcuPhoto™ Halftoning
Definitive colour reproduction is
assured by EPSON’s exclusive 32bit
AcuPhoto™ technology which
enables this remarkable printer to
render variations in colour and
texture with greater subtlety and
detail than ever before.
Further enhancing image quality,
EPSON Super MicroWeave™ enables
fine, continuous tonal gradations
to be achieved.
QuickDry™ Inks
Working through a dual-ink system
which lowers running costs and
reduces change frequency, EPSON
QuickDry™ Inks penetrate the
surface of the paper and dry
almost instantaneously, ensuring
that droplets stay sharp, separate
and in perfect shape. This
advanced chemistry ensures vibrant
colours and crisp laser-sharp
blacks, both on text documents
and Photo Quality images.
EPSON Variable-Sized Droplet Technology
6 picolitre used for fine detail
19 picolitre used for large areas of colour
Variable 6, 10 and 19 picolitre optimising speed and quality
Specialised Paper Media
Treated with a special transparent
coating, EPSON Photo Quality
papers allow individual ink
droplets to penetrate instantly
whilst locking them in place. The
Stylus COLOR 740 is optimised for
plain paper printing whilst EPSON’s
range of special media ensures a
perfect match with the printer’s
capabilities, to provide
breathtaking results.
