Overview

Redefining the Future of Printing
The Epson Stylus Pro 9700 incorporates the latest achievements in high-performance ink jet printing. By combining the extreme precision of a MicroPiezo TFP� print head, with the extraordinary performance of UltraChrome� Vivid Magenta Ink, the newest generation of Epson Stylus Pro printers represent a level of printing technology unprecedented within the Engineering Scientific and Display Signage markets.

High-Precision Ten-Channel MicroPiezo� TFP� Print Head

  • Thin Film Piezo (TFP) print head design capable of extreme dot placement accuracy
  • One-inch wide, high performance print head with 720 nozzles per color
  • Extreme line accuracy of +/- 0.1% at line weights as low as 28 micrometers
  • Auto-switching dual-black ink technologies � Photo and Matte Black
  • Low vibration meniscus control for highly accurate dot shape and placement
  • All-new ink repelling coating for dramatically reduce nozzle clogging
  • Produces variable-sized droplets as small as 3.5 picoliters to greatly decrease print times while optimizing photographic quality

AccuPhoto HD Screening

  • Advanced four-color screening algorithm resulting in prints with superior color and clarity
  • Maximum resolution of 1440 x 1440 dpi for incredibly sharp text and line art
  • Produces extremely fine blends and photographic transitions
  • Extremely accurate highlight-to-shadow details
  • When combined with the precise dot placement accuracy of the MicroPiezo TFP print head, overall photographic and vector-based print quality is dramatically improved

PreciseColor� Manufacturing

  • To ensure consistent printing between multiple Epson Stylus Pro printers of the same model the manufacturing process has been refined to include colorimetric calibration. This process evaluates and adjusts each printer�s performance at the manufacturing stage, ensuring consistent color output from printer to printer and print to print.
