The EPSON Stylus®Pro 9000 series printers are the ultimate wide-format

color ink jets. Setting new standards in image quality, media handling, and

performance, the EPSON Stylus Pro 9000 has redefined the wide format

printing industry. The breakthrough EPSON Stylus Pro 9500 gives you

photographic quality with EPSON Archival™ink technology—for images

that last a lifetime.

EPSON’s Micro Piezo®dual density droplet (DX3™) print technology

includes a precise and consistent dot size and an innovative six-color,

high-capacity, quick-drying ink system. EPSON Archival ink achieves the

widest color gamut available in a pigment solution, with color performance

approaching EPSON dye-based ink.

With resolutions up to 1440 dpi, the EPSON Stylus Pro 9000 series printers

support two 44-inch media rolls and cut sheets up to 1.5 mm thick. Both

printers incorporate EPSON’s DC-based motor technology, which allows

for superior print engine accuracy, even during bidirectional printing modes

at some of the fastest production speeds in the industry.

For network productivity, a high performance EFI®Fiery® X2 RIP server

may be purchased. The EPSON RS-5100 server supports a variety of

network configurations and protocols, with full compatibility for

Macintosh,

®Microsoft®Windows®2000, Windows 98, Windows 95,

Windows NT,

®and UNIX®computers. The Fiery X2 RIP provides full

multitasking for simultaneous spooling, Adobe®PostScript®3 processing,

and printing.

The printers 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 9000

series printers also support many third-party RIPs and come with custom

EPSON®drivers and utilities for photographs and other non-PostScript

printing.
