Epson Introduces New Large-Format Inkjet Printer

Epson America Inc., Long Beach, Calif., USA, is introducing a new large-format printer. The Epson Stylus Pro 10000 uses a variable droplet Micro Piezo DX3 print head with photo accelerator and nozzle verification technologies to create images up to 44 inches wide at 1,440-by-720 dpi resolution. Epson said the Stylus Pro 10000 is its fastest inkjet printer to date, with speeds approximately six times faster than its predecessors - the Stylus Pro 9000 and 9500. The printer can output images up to 231 square feet per hour at its fastest setting, Epson said, and approximately 72 square feet per hour when printing photographic-quality output. The Stylus Pro 10000 also features Epson's Archival Ink technology, which Epson said enhances the quality and extends the life of prints.

The Stylus Pro 10000 offers a USB, IEEE 1394 FireWire, ECP Parallel and Epson Type-B expansion slot standard with optional cards available for 10/100 BaseT. The printer will be available in June for an estimated street price of ,995 through authorized Epson dealers.
