These fast, exible 24" and 44" printers give your
professional printing even more impact with the
addition of Vivid Magenta to the Epson UltraChrome
Ink set. With more accurate, longer-lasting,
life-like colour they will transform the way you
print POS materials, CAD/GIS prints and more.
The addition of Vivid Magenta
combines a wider colour gamut with
enhanced colour accuracy. This is
particularly noticeable for blues,
magentas, reds and oranges, which
means your prints will be more
natural and life-like than ever.
Expanding the world of colour
Excellent colour stability
When using Epson UltraChrome Ink with Vivid Magenta you can be
sure your prints will be dry and stable very quickly. This gives you
accurate colour you can rely on and work with just minutes after your
prints emerge from the printer.
Longer-lasting prints
The printers produce results that are highly light-fast, so
your prints will retain their colour and quality for longer,
wherever you use them. Also, the specially formulated
pigment inks are water-resistant, so you can rely on
making a bigger impact for longer, even in outdoor
conditions.

quality on your chosen media, including glossy photo paper. The printer
will automatically select the optimum ink to match the media, which adds

The Epson Stylus Pro 7700 and 9700 are packed
with the latest Epson technologies that add precision,
reliability and productivity to a wide range of
professional printing needs. Together they give you
the nest quality output without compromising speed.
Auto nozzle check system
This system uses a sensor to verify nozzle status and clean the printhead if
necessary, which means you can print more reliably for longer. It’s automatic,
uses no media and takes less than 15 seconds from start to nish, and can run
between unattended print jobs for added peace of mind.
Special mode for line drawings
A special 1440x1440 dpi mode works with certain media to add sharpness to
line drawings and alphanumeric characters. This mode also enhances speed
to give you better results faster than ever.
The new Epson MicroPiezo™ TFP printhead combines improved
performance with greater durability. Optimised to work with Epson
UltraChrome Ink with Vivid Magenta, it delivers perfectly accurate dots with
virtually no misting or satellites. It also works with Epson Variable-sized
Droplet Technology to produce droplets as small as 3.5 picolitres for perfect
smoothness and detail.
Our most advanced printhead ever
Better results at faster speeds
These printers are designed to
give you faster output without
compromising print quality.
They do this by using advanced
compression and decompression
technologies that speed up data
throughput during printing.
