PHOTOGRAPHY AND FINE ART

The EPSON Stylus PRO 4000 uses
8-colour EPSON UltraChrome ink
technology to create natural skin
tones, add depth and detail to
images, and improve greyscales in
both colour, and monochrome
images. Stunning colour, and black
and white results are easier to
achieve even on media up to

1.5mm thick.

In addition, prints are ready to
use immediately after printing,
and are resistant to fading,
keeping them as good as new for
up to and beyond 75 years*.

Simple in-house production
eliminates the need for a skilled
operator at remote sites, which
means you can keep control of
every job, respond to last minute
changes and launch new
promotions quickly.
