REDEFINING THE
FUTURE OF PRINTING
For more than a decade, Epson has set the standard by which
all other photographic printing technologies are measured. So,
when our engineers decided to develop the ultimate printing
technology for Engineering Scientific and Display Signage
applications, we focused on three main goals — Performance,
Precision, and Brilliance.
Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus Pro 7700 and
9700 printers.
By incorporating our latest achievements in high-performance
24- and 44-inch wide print engine technology, along with the
extreme precision of our latest MicroPiezo® TFP® print head,
our latest printing technology produces a final print with
uncompromising accuracy. And with our latest Epson UltraChrome®
with Vivid Magenta pigment ink technology, your color work will
not only be brilliant — but archival as well.
Prepare to see your prints in a whole new way.
Performance. Precision. Brilliance.
A Based upon print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend upon front-end
RIP, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage, networking, etc. Standard mode based
on Draft — 360 dpi.
B Cartridge yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print
settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently
or predominantly with one ink color. A variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge
after the “replace cartridge” signal. Part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for
priming the printer. Ink is used for both printing and print head maintenance. All inks
are used for both black and color printing. For more information about cartridges, see

REDEFINING THE
FUTURE OF PRINTING
For more than a decade, Epson has set the standard by which
all other photographic printing technologies are measured. So,
when our engineers decided to develop the ultimate printing
technology for Engineering Scientific and Display Signage
applications, we focused on three main goals — Performance,
Precision, and Brilliance.
Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus Pro 7700 and
9700 printers.
By incorporating our latest achievements in high-performance
24- and 44-inch wide print engine technology, along with the
extreme precision of our latest MicroPiezo® TFP® print head,
our latest printing technology produces a final print with
uncompromising accuracy. And with our latest Epson UltraChrome®
with Vivid Magenta pigment ink technology, your color work will
not only be brilliant — but archival as well.
Prepare to see your prints in a whole new way.
Performance. Precision. Brilliance.
A Based upon print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend upon front-end
RIP, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage, networking, etc. Standard mode based
on Draft — 360 dpi.
B Cartridge yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print
settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently
or predominantly with one ink color. A variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge
after the “replace cartridge” signal. Part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for
priming the printer. Ink is used for both printing and print head maintenance. All inks
are used for both black and color printing. For more information about cartridges, see
www.epson.com/cartridgeinfo
