The Future of Print Head Technology

All New 8-Channel Print Head Technology

• Print head design capable of handling eight separate ink channels
• 1" wide, high-performance print head
• 180 nozzles per channel x 8
• Two user-exchangeble black ink modes-Photo Black or Matte Black.

The standard Photo Black ink mode can be used for any media type with professional results. However, for certain Epson media types such as Velvet Fine Art, Enhanced Matte, and UltraSmooth Fine Art, using the optional Matte Black ink mode instead, will dramatically increase your black optical density for even better print quality.

• Incredibly sharp text and line-art rivaling a final printing press.
• Extremely fine blends & photographic transitions.

• Produces variable-sized droplets as small as 3.5 picoliter to greatly decrease print times while optimizing photographic quality
• Proprietary Active Meniscus Control (AMC) technology precisely controls the curvature of every ink droplet within each nozzle before releasing it onto the media. The result is extremely sharp and accurate placement of ink droplets for outstanding photographic print quality.

• In order to ensure consistent printing between multiple EPSON/FUJIFILM Stylus Pro printers of the same model, Epson has enhanced the production process to include colorimetric calibration. This system evaluates and adjusts each printer's difference at the manufacturing stage, assuring you of consistent color output from printer to printer.

• Built-in sensor reads printed data for highly precise alignments of all color channels.
• Aligns both single and bi-directional print modes

• Built-in sensor reads nozzle check pattern and automatically cleans print head if any problems are found — even partially clogged nozzles

• Eight 110ml or 220ml ink cartridges with automatic tracking of key data points such as ink levels, ink type and usage rates, for the most accurate production cost estimations.
• Greatly increasing productivity, you can replace ink cartridges on the fly, even during the middle of a print job with no loss in image quality or production time.
• Utilizes both 110ml and 220ml ink cartridges simultaneously to further optimize ink usage

• Built-in printer memory automatically tracks key print job statistics, such as ink and media usage, remaining media, data file names, user names, print times, and more
• Reports can be printed or downloaded from printer memory

• Prints on virtually any media type in roll or cut sheet up to 17-inch wide.
• Built-in high-capacity paper tray handling up to 250 sheets of plain letter-sized paper or up to 50 sheets of photographic media at 17"x22".
• Four built-in media paths including roll feed, cut-sheet tray, front-top manual feed, and a straight-through front manual feed handling weights up to 1.5mm thick.
• User-adjustable roll media spindle accepts either 2-inch or 3-inch media cores.
• Can print on both sides of the media without damaging the previously printed side.
• Built-in automatic media cutter

• Capable of printing off both left and right edges of roll based media, while automatically cutting top and bottom edges to produce a full-bleed print on all four sides.
• Fully trim your finished prints more accurately and safely than by hand.

High Performance Print Engine Speeds

Superior Connectivity

• Includes one USB 2.0, one IEEE 1394 (FireWire™) and one Epson Expansion Slot for installing the optional 10/100 BaseT Ethernet card (Ethernet included with Pro Edition bundle)
• Professional EPSON Photographic Drivers for Macintosh and Windows.
• Optional PANTONE licensed and SWOP certified PostScript Language Level 3 Compatible RIP by ColorBurst (included only with Pro Edition bundle)
• Fully supported by leading third-party RIPs & workflows greatly enhancing the usability of the basic print engine.
