The most desirable photographic printers
r
ever produced by Epson.
Designed in collaboration with some of the world’s best-known
photographers and printmakers, the EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 and
EPSON Stylus Pro 9600 printers incorporate technologies that have
never before been available to large format printing professionals.
Representing advancements in ink, print head and print engine
design, these next-generation, professional level 24-inch (SP7600)
and 44-inch (SP9600) printers will produce some of the world’s
most exciting photographic prints.
EPSON UltraChrome Ink – a true milestone in pigmented ink
technology – can produce color prints with a color gamut
approaching today’s standard dye ink technologies. And for the
first time, produce professional level black and white prints capable
of pleasing the most demanding black and white photographers.
To take full advantage of this remarkable ink technology, Epson
has developed a brand new Micro Piezo DX3
™
print head that can
produce an astonishing resolution of 2880 x1440 dpi.
Designed specifically for 7-color printing, Epson’s most advanced
print head delivers a level of photographic quality that must be
seen to be believed.
A brand new print engine design capable of handling virtually
any media type either 24-inch or 44-inch wide also incorporates
™
innovative ideas that include true BorderFree
printing, intelligent
high-capacity ink systems, easy loading ink and media, and
fast print speeds.
Backed by one of the most comprehensive warranty programs in
the industry, the EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 and 9600 come with
toll-free technical support Monday through Saturday, and usually
next-business-day on-site service for a year. So should you need
us, we’ll be there.
Epson has once again set the standard for professional level
photographic printing. Never before have creative professionals
had such a powerful tool allowing them to produce their vision
without compromise.
Whether for your own enjoyment or for resale, photographic
prints produced by this breakthrough technology will forever
change your perception of digital printmaking.

your black ink density. Just choose between three different
black ink modes to optimize the density for various media
types and printing applications.
Photo Black Mode is optimized for traditional
photographic and ink jet coated media types, such as
EPSON Premium Luster Photo, Photo Semi Gloss, and
Premium Semimatte, to produce the highest level of
photographic image quality
Matte Black Mode is optimized for matte or plain
medias, such as Enhanced Matte, Smooth and
Textured Fine Art papers, as well as Somerset
®
Velvet
for Epson, where the highest level of photographic
image quality is desired
Dual Matte Black is optimized for matte or plain
media, like newsprint and plain bond paper, where
print speed is favored over image quality
