Epson PreciseColor^™ Manufacturing

In order to ensure consistent printing between multiple Stylus Pro printers of the same model, Epson has refined the manufacturing process to include colorimetric calibration. Eliminating the need for internal calibration devices, this system evaluates and adjusts each printer's performance at the manufacturing stage, ensuring consistent color output from printer to printer and print to print.

Automatic Print Head Alignment

• Built-in sensor performs highly precise alignments of all color channels
• Aligns both single and bi-directional print modes

Next Generation Ten-Color Pigment-Based Ink System

• Unique High Dynamic Range (HDR) pigments for an extremely wide color gamut

• Designed to work with Epson AccuPhoto HDR screening technology
• Professional print permanence ratings
• Outstanding short-term color stability for mission critical proofing applications
• Improved Microcrystal Encapsulation^™ Technology for reduced gloss differential
• Improved black density up to 2.6 with an L* value ~3.0

* Dmax and L* values are based on Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper (260)

Three-Level Black Ink Technology

• Simultaneously uses Black, Light Black, and Light Light Black inks
• Significantly improves the gray balance while eliminating colorcasts
• Outstanding highlight-to-shadow grayscale accuracy for a smoother tonal range
• Virtually eliminates any bronzing of basic pigment chemistry
• Enhances the ICC profiling process for ColorSync^™ and ICM^™ workflows

Automatic Black Ink Mode Switching

With both Photo and Matte Black ink cartridges installed simultaneously, the Epson Stylus Pro 900 series printers automatically utilize the optimal black ink mode, delivering maximum black density for the chosen media. Taking advantage of the Epson MicroPiezo TFP auto-sharing black ink channel ensures a fast and efficient switch. And to further reduce switching errors, the user confirms the switching process from the front control panel.

The standard Photo Black ink mode can be used for any media type with professional results. However, for certain Epson media types such as Velvet Fine Art, Enhanced Matte, and UltraSmooth Fine Art, using the optional Matte Black ink mode instead, will dramatically increase your black optical density for even better print quality.
