With the revolutionary Epson UltraChrome HDR (High Dynamic Range) ink technology, the Epson Stylus Pro 7900 (24-inch) and Stylus Pro 9900 (44-inch) stand as the brand's pioneering ten-color printers. This innovative ink technology, featuring a unique blend of orange and green, significantly broadens the color spectrum, thereby enhancing digital printing opportunities within the packaging and remote proofing market segments.The UltraChrome HDR ink is a high-density resin-coated pigment ink formulation, boasting a three-level black ink technology - photo black, light black, and light light black. This is complemented by cyan, light cyan, vivid magenta, vivid light magenta, yellow, orange, and green. The printer also includes matte black on-board, which can be auto-switched with photo black.This advanced generation of UltraChrome HDR ink delivers a range of benefits, including reduced graininess in skin tone areas, smoother tonal gradation from shadows to highlights, and highly accurate color control with neutral black and white. It also offers high gloss levels on water-resistant prints and outstanding long-term lightfastness, ensuring your prints maintain their quality over time.The introduction of two high-capacity ink cartridges (350 and 700ml) contributes to a lower cost per milliliter of ink, reducing overall costs. These high-capacity cartridges also decrease the frequency of cartridge replacements, promoting greater unattended printing.The Stylus Pro 7900 and Stylus Pro 9900 are equipped with Epson's MicroPiezo TFP (Thin Film Piezo) print head, featuring 360 nozzles per inch for each of the ten active ink cartridges. This is further enhanced by Epson's Ink Repelling Coating for the print head and Automatic Ink Detection (AID) system, which work together to minimize and detect nozzle clogging in advance, eliminating downtime and reducing paper waste during the cleaning process.Epson's AID technology employs a sensor near the print head that monitors the electrical charges on the ink droplets as they are fired. A lower than expected electrical charge triggers the automatic start of the print head cleaning process. Compared to current 8-color 24-inch and 44-inch printers, the Stylus Pro 7900 and Stylus Pro 9900 offer dramatically increased print speed, completing an A1 (720x720dpi) sellable quality print on Epson's Premium Glossy Photo Paper in an impressive 5 minutes.
