Forget slowpoke printers. Forget “average”
color output. Forget high-maintenance, low-quality
ink jet printers, too. And meet the revolutionary
EPSON Stylus Color 900. It’s Epson’s fastest ink jet
printer, pumping out crisp, sharp black text and
eye-pleasing color at unprecedented speeds. It prints
up to 12 ppm in black and up to 10 ppm in color.
But, blazing speed is just the beginning. The
EPSON Stylus Color 900 also gives you breathtaking
1440 x 720 dpi output while putting the smallest ink
droplets ever, a minuscule 3 picoliters each, down on
paper. The result? Highlights are more intense. Details
are sharper. And skin tones more realistic. So graphs,
charts and diagrams are more engaging. Overheads
and reports more eye-catching. And proposals more
persuasive.
Plus, the EPSON Stylus Color 900 comes
with our PerfectPictureTM Imaging System. This
built-in system combines our award-winning Micro
PiezoTM technology, AcuPhoto HalftoningTM and
expertly-formulated, quick-drying inks to put the
EPSON Stylus Color 900 light years ahead of other
printers.
The EPSON Stylus Color 900 is also fully
networkable. So everyone in your office can take
advantage of its superior color output and lightning-
quick speed for everything from quick memos and
letters to detailed reports and “knock-their-socks-off”
presentations.
The EPSON Stylus Color 900—the rapid,
rugged color ink jet printer your entire office
will rely on for outstanding professional
color output.
