Increased Resolution, BorderFree™ Printing and Faster Print Speeds
The EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 and Stylus Pro 9600 are the first professional graphics
printers capable of printing at 2,880 x 1,440 dpi resolution – resulting in finer blends and
smoother photographic transitions. They also use variable droplets up to three different sizes
per line and as small as four picoliters to greatly decrease print time while optimizing
photographic quality. Furthermore, Epson’s advanced Micro Piezo
DX3
™
ASIC
technology controls the printing process to produce consistent image quality and color output
from print to print.
Another first for these products is BorderFree printing – a feature that enables users to
print over both left and right edges of the media while automatically cutting top and bottom
edges for full-bleed prints on all four sides of the paper, depending on media type. A built-in
cutter is included to trim prints faster and with greater accuracy and safety than manual
techniques.
The EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 and Stylus Pro 9600 print about 2.5 times faster than
their predecessors – the EPSON Stylus Pro 7000/7500 and Stylus Pro 9000/9500. Depending
on the print mode being used, speeds vary from 8 square feet per hour to a maximum of 192
square feet per hour. Extremely photographic printing can be produced at approximately 16
square feet per hour, while speeds for everyday “production quality” printing can reach about
87 square feet per hour.
Media Handling and Flexibility
Images can be printed on virtually any media type (up to 1.5 millimeters thick) as
wide as 24 inches on the Stylus Pro 7600 and up to 44 inches wide on the Stylus Pro 9600.
Some of these include plain paper and specialized Epson papers such as true glossy, semi-
gloss, luster, matte photographic papers, canvas and fine art papers, commercial-grade
proofing medias and more. Cut sheet media can also be fed automatically using the printer’s
high-speed cut sheet loading feature while user-adjustable roll media spindles can accept
either two- or three-inch media cores.
For roll media, users can cut sheets using the built-in automatic cutting system or an
optional manual cutter for the thickest of media types. An optional high-speed automatic
take-up reel system is also available (on the Stylus Pro 9600 only) for completely unattended
production of large print jobs.
