Enhanced productivity and image quality for a range of applications
Epson MicroPiezo TFP Print Head Technology
This print head is Epson's most advanced ever, featuring higher performance and greter durability. The TFP (Thin Film Piezo) head has 720 micro-fine nozzles for each colour, delivering perfectly accurate dot shapes with virtually no misting or satellites. Optimised for Epson UltraChrome Ink with Vivid Magenta, it uses Epson's proprietary Variable Sized Droplet Technology (VSDT) to produce droplets as small as 3 picoliters.
Automatic Ink Droplet Detection System
Using precision electrical charge detection technology, the Epson Stylus Pro 7700's Automatic Ink Droplet Detection System detects minute electrical charges on ink droplets fired by the Micro Piezo TFP print head. Activated each time the printer is turned on and after predetermined periods of time, the system automatically enters head cleaning mode if an insufficient electrical charge is detected, which signifies ink clogging.
Wider Colour Gamut for More Brilliant Colours
The addition of Vivid Magenta to the Epson ultraChrome Ink set further expands the already wide colour gamut. This allows a significantly improved range of expression, enabling the five inks to deliver outstanding printing performance. You'll be able to produce promotional flyers, posters and other materials that have greater colour vibrancy and impact.
Three-Level Black Ink Technology
Epson UltraChrome HDR Ink eliminates the colour twist and short tonal gradation problems traditionally faced by black-and-white photographers using digital printers, delivering black-and-white prints that rival those created with silver-halide processes. A three-level black ink technology – Black, Light Black and Light Light Black – gives Epson Stylus Pro 7900 prints:
- Smooth tonal gradation with no colour twist
- Rich shadow and highlight detail
- High, black D-max with glossy media
- Unrivalled neutral grey tones
The use of three black inks also allows for a more stable and accurate grey balance, which provides professional users with more accurate colour control due to the smaller quantity of colour inks used.
10-Colour Ink System
One of the most significant advantages of UltraChrome™ HDR Ink is the inclusion of Orange and Green inks, which bring about a dramatic expansion of the colour gamut, especially in the green to yellow, and yellow to red ranges. In particular, with the new orange ink, the Epson Stylus™ Pro 7900 printer delivers a major reduction in image grain that is typically evidenced in skin tone reproductions. Overall, the two new inks afford users an incredibly wide colour gamut – on a variety of media – that contributes to their ability to generate prints of outstanding quality.
Excellent Short and Long Term Colour Stability
When Epson UltraChrome HDR Ink is fired onto the media by the MicroPiezo™ TFP print head, it is rapidly absorbed deep into the substrate and as a result, colours become resistant to change and stabilise quickly. Using genuine Epson media, the new ink delivers prints with:
- Lightfastness ratings of up to 75 years for colour and over 200 years for black-and-white prints
- Stable colour in just 30 minutes
- Excellent water resistance
- Improved scratch resistance
Advanced SpectroProofer
To further help operators achieve absolute colour accuracy, the Epson Stylus Pro 7900 can be configured with an
optional SpectroProofer, enabling professional colour workflows
by means of automatic colour calibration and verification.
Through automation of those processes and with a mounting
unit for the SpectroProofer, the result is a simplified workflow.
Importantly, mechanical scanning ensures repeatability and thereby
reduces labour costs while delivering accurate output.
To compensate for optical brighteners in media, the SpectroProofer
is available in two models – with or without a UV cut filter.
The flexibility of these options will ultimately allow users to generate
a colour certification label advising if the proof has passed or failed.
This ability is critical in the area of remote and contract proofing.
This option adds flexibility to easily integrate with all your existing
workflow and operates with a black or white backing of the
measurement patch, ensuring conformity with the ISO-12647-7
standard for proofing.
Large Capacity Ink Cartridges
Featuring the ability to handle large capacity 700ml ink cartridges, the Epson Stylus Pro 7900 represents an ideal solution for high throughput environments without the need for constant changing of ink cartridges. Along with its 700ml ink cartridge handling capabilities, the printer can also utilise 350ml capacity cartridges.
Automatic Switching between Photo and Matte Black Inks
Included in the Epson Stylus Pro 7900 is a feature that provides automatic switching between Photo and Matte Black inks. With both ink cartridges installed, the printer automatically switches between Photo Black for glossy media, and Matte Black for matte-type media. In any professional printing environment, this feature ensures a single printer can be used for different types of media without the need for changing inks and flushing ink lines, giving increased flexibility and reduced running costs.
Thick Media Support
Adding significantly to the versatility of the Epson Stylus Pro 7900 is its ability to handle media up to 1.5mm in thickness. With this ability, the printers can produce high quality output ready for immediate framing – eliminating the need for mounting.
