Index

Introducing a new era in wide-format color ink jet printing, the EPSON

Stylus®Pro 10000 delivers a combination of richly detailed image quality,

faster print speeds, and durable photographic output.

EPSON®offers the Stylus Pro 10000 in two models: Photographic Dye Ink

(Stylus Pro 10000) and Archival Ink (Stylus Pro 10000CF). The

Photographic Dye Ink model provides the widest color gamut at the lowest

cost. However, EPSON Archival™Ink technology gives you photographic

images that will last up to 200 years, and provides a color gamut that rivals

dye-based inks.*

The printer provides resolutions up to 1440 × 720 dpi using EPSON’s

variable size droplet, Micro Piezo®DX3™print head for precise and

consistent dot size. Individual, high-capacity ink cartridges with auto

ink-level detection provide increased productivity, ease of use, and low

per-print costs.

The EPSON Stylus Pro 10000 prints approximately 231 square feet per

hour using the printer’s fastest settings, and approximately 72 square feet per

hour when printing high-resolution photographic output. And with

EPSON’s Photo Accelerator Technology, even slower computers can achieve

full print engine performance.

The printer may also be equipped with an optional 44-inch auto take-up reel

that is compatible with most lamination systems and lets you run long print

jobs unattended. For complete flexibility, the EPSON Stylus Pro 10000 also

supports many third-party RIPs and comes with custom EPSON drivers and

utilities for photographs and other non-PostScript printing.

* Lightfastness rating is based on accelerated testing of prints on special media,

displayed indoors, under glass. Actual print stability will vary according to

image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity, and atmospheric

conditions. EPSON does not guarantee the longevity of prints. For maximum

print life, display all prints under glass or lamination or properly store them.
