MAXIMUM 2880x1440DPI. MINIMUM 4PL. THE FIRST
ULTRA-HIGH RESOLUTION LARGE FORMAT PRINTER
2880 x 1440dpi with 4pl droplet – unquestionable quality.
The EPSON STYLUS™ PRO 9600/7600 has achieved the best output
resolution yet, offering 2880 x 1440dpi for the first time on a Large
Format printer. And minimum droplet size of 4pl is the smallest yet,
using pigment inks. High resolution output with UltraChrome™ archive
ink is a unique feature supported by innovative Micro Piezo™
technology. This technology is standard in all EPSON inkjet printers,
and is renowned for its precise control of ink ejection with minimal
ink misting.

Piezo Element
The Micro Piezo Head meticulously controls the printing process,
placing virtually invisible EPSON Micro Dots straight onto the media
with superb accuracy. The Piezo elements of each nozzle swiftly change
form according to the electronic signals received. The new head applies
a stronger force directly onto the ink to fire more precise ink droplets

INK DROPLET PRECISION
Meticulous micro-meter control enables the highest resolution up to
2880 x 1440dpi.
PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL ROUND NOZZLES
The Micro Piezo Head uses perfectly symmetrical round nozzles which
are comparatively large, with a diameter of 25 microns. This eliminates
the clogging of high-density pigment inks. Furthermore, the rifle-like
nozzle structure produces the smooth ink flow to achieve rapid and
accurate ejection of ink droplets.
96 NOZZLES. THE NEWLY EVOLVED MICRO PIEZO HEAD
ENABLES FAST PRINTING
In the EPSON STYLUS™ PRO 9600/7600, the number of nozzles has
been increased to 96 per colour for print speed up to 1.5 times faster
(on matte paper) than previous models.
