Advanced 17" Wide Desktop Printer
for Professionals. Welcome to 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-exchangeable ink modes – Photographic or Dual CMYK
The Photographic Ink Mode is ideal for any photographic or graphic
design project where image quality is important. It uses Cyan,
Light Cyan, Magenta, Light Magenta, Yellow, Photo Black, Light Black
and Matte Black.
The Dual CMYK Ink Mode takes advantage of our Matte Black ink
technology to produce outstanding photographic prints on plain
paper. It uses two of each primary color to deliver speeds up to 98%
faster than the Photographic Ink Mode and is the perfect solution
for engineering/scientific applications like CAD or GIS mapping.

Epson is the standard by which all other photographic ink jet printers
are measured. So when we decided to build a next-generation
desktop printer, it had to be a breakthrough.
The result is the all-new Epson Stylus Pro 4000 desktop printer.
Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professionals,
the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 incorporates a unique 17" wide
printer design with all of our latest ink, print head, and printer
engine technologies, ensuring your creative vision will be produced
without compromise.
Utilizing Epson UltraChrome™Ink technology, you’ll produce archival
prints with amazing color fidelity, while providing consistently
stable colors that significantly outperform standard dye ink
technologies. In order to maximize the use of this remarkable ink
technology, we’ve developed a unique 8-channel print head capable
of handling eight separate ink cartridges simultaneously. This
allows the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 to handle both Photo Black and
Matte Black inks at the same time in order to maximize the black
density on virtually any media type.
Even more remarkable, the new high-performance 1" wide print
head produces an astonishing resolution of 2880 x1440 dpi
to deliver a level of image quality and speed that even exceeds
our previous best.
Handling virtually any media type in roll or cut-sheet up to 17"
wide, the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 even incorporates a high-capacity
paper tray capable of handling cut-sheet media up to 17"x 22".
Choose from four different ways to load media, including a front-
loading straight-through path for media up to 1.5mm posterboard,
giving you the ultimate in media flexibility.
The Epson Stylus Pro 4000 represents the highest level of Epson
printer technology to date. From photographic quality and
high-performance print speeds to breakthrough ink technology
and media handling, the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 combines innovative
technology with extraordinary performance and value, allowing you
to work faster while giving you the ultimate creative edge.
