EPSON ULTRACHROME INK™

The EPSON STYLUS™ PRO 9600 employs a newly developed pigment ink –
EPSON UltraChrome™ Ink. It provides excellent archiveability which out­performs any dye-based inks. The new 7-colour ink system includes new
light black ink for more subtle monochrome gradations, and it reduces
graininess in mid to high density areas. In addition, the standard Photo
Black ink is replaceable with the optional Matte Black ink. This system
provides excellent photo quality on special media and plain paper.

LINER ENCODER & DC SERVOMOTOR

The position and speed of the head is detected by a linear encoder and
fed back to the drive system. This ensures precise head positioning, even
during 44 inch bi-directional printing, and supports high definition photo
printing at 2880dpi.

EPSON STYLUSTMPRO 7600

The EPSON STYLUS™ PRO 7600 is a sister
model of the EPSON STYLUS™ PRO 9600 which
incorporates the same new system providing
maximum 2880dpi image quality at up to A1
print size. This space saving model makes high
quality colour printing simple and cost effective.

MEDIA HANDLING

The EPSON STYLUS™ PRO 9600/7600 offers
versatile media handling for a variety of
applications with automatic paper cutter.
A manual cutter is also available for cutting
cloth-based and fine art media. The paper basket
is adjustable with one-touch operation when
feeding the media to the back of the printer.
And an optional Auto Take up Reel Unit is
available with the EPSON STYLUS™ PRO 9600.

EPSON STYLUS PRO 9600 AND STYLUS PRO

from EPSON in providing professional printing solutions. And it offers a new solution that’s ideal

optional ink cartridge system with high
capacity 220ml ink cartridge for increased
cost savings.

Each pigment particle is encapsulated in a
special resin coating. This new technology
