The Most Advanced Print Head Ever Produced By EPSON

  • All new print head capable of producing a single droplet as small as 4 picoliter.
  • Produces incredibly sharp text and line-art that rivals a final press sheet.
  • Extremely fine blends & photographic transitions with no visible sign of inkjet technology.

Variable Droplet MicroPiezo DX3™ Technology
  • Can produce up to three different dot sizes per print line, greatly decreasing print times while optimizing photographic quality.
  • Proprietary DX3 ASIC technology controls the printing process, resulting in consistent image quality and color output from print to print.

Advanced Print Engine Technology
EPSON Intelligent High-Capacity Ink System
  • Seven 110ml ink cartridges (CcMmYKk) standard 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.
  • EPSON Stylus Pro 9600 can use standard 110ml and optional 220ml ink cartridge sizes at the same time to further optimize ink usage.

Unsurpassed Media Flexibility
  • Prints on virtually any media type in roll or cut sheet up to 44-inch wide.
  • Accurate automatic loading of cut sheet media up to 44-inch wide in a variety of weights up to 1.5mm thick.
  • User-adjustable roll media spindle accepts either 2-inch or 3-inch media cores.
  • Built-in Automatic Cutting System and an optional Manual Media Cutter for cutting even the thickest of media types.
  • Optional Automatic Take-up Reel System for unattended production of large print jobs available on the EPSON Stylus Pro 9600 only.

True BorderFree™ Printing
  • First ever wide format print engine capable of printing off both left and right edges of the media, while automatically cutting top and bottom edges to produce a full bleed print on all four sides depending on media type.
  • Built-in cutter will automatically cut top and bottom edges to either leave the page borders or bleed the image.
  • Able to fully trim your finished prints more accurately and safely than manual finishing techniques.

High Performance Print Engine Speeds
  • Depending upon the print mode being used, print speeds will vary from 8 ft2/hr. to a maximum of 192 ft2/hr.
  • Extremely photographic printing can be produced at about 16 ft2/hr.
  • Produces everyday "production-quality" output at about 87 ft2/hr.

Superior Connectivity
  • Includes one USB port (1.1 and 2.0 compatible), one ECP Parallel, and one EPSON Expansion Slot for installing the optional internal IEEE 1394 FireWiretm or 10/100 BaseT Ethernet cards.
  • Enhanced EPSON Photographic Drivers for Macintosh and Windows that allows for complete ink density control even when color management is turned off.
  • For professional pre-press proofing and graphics workgroups an optional EFI FierySpark Professional 2.0 Adobe PostScript 3 software RIP is available.
  • Fully supported by leading third-party RIPs & workflows greatly enhancing the usability of the basic print engine.

EPSON UltraChome™Ink Technology

All New 7 Color Pigmented Inking System
  • Extremely wide color gamut rivaling even EPSON Photographic Dye inks.
  • Produces stable, long lasting photographic prints that are of sellable quality.

New Light Black Ink for Superior Photographic Reproduction and long lasting photographic prints that are of collector quality
  • Significantly improves the printer's gray balance, while eliminating color casts
  • Dramatically improves the mid-tones and highlights for smoother photographic transitions.
  • Reduces the metamerism effect of pigmented ink chemistry now comparable to dye ink.
  • Further enhances the ICC profiling process for ColorSync™ workflows

Professional Level Black and White Photographic Printing
  • Produces a truly consistent image with no color "crossover" or color casts.
  • Able to produce neutral or toned black and white prints to satisfy demanding photographers.
  • Depending upon the media used, you can produce a black DMAX up to 2.0.

Three User Exchangeable Black Ink Modes
  • By simply exchanging the black ink cartridge for another type, EPSON UltraChrome Ink technology allows you to optimize your black ink density. You can choose between three different black ink modes to optimize black ink density for various media types and printing applications.
  • Photo Black Mode (standard) is optimized for traditional photographic and ink jet-coated media types, such as EPSON Premium Luster, Photo Semi Gloss, Premium Semi Matte, etc. producing the highest level of photographic image quality.
  • Matte Black Mode is optimized for matte or plain media, such as Enhanced Matte, Smooth and Textured Fine Art papers, as well as Somerset® Velvet for EPSON, where the highest level of photographic image quality is desired.
  • Dual Matte Black is optimized for matte or plain media, such as newsprint and plain bond paper, where print speed is favored over photographic image quality.
