Epson boosts Stylus Pro range with SP7700 and SP9700

Epson has introduced two new additions to its Stylus Pro range of wide-format inkjet printers, with the launch of the SP7700 and SP9700.

The 24in and 44in models are designed for the production of a range of print applications and offer resolutions of up to 1,440dpi.

Both machines feature Epson's MicroPiezo TFP printhead and its Variable-Size Droplet Technology (VSDT), which can produce droplets as small as 3.5 picolitres.

The two new models can handle cut sheet media up to 1.5mm thick and come with a flange roll holder that is claimed to aid the efficient changing of media.

Also included is Epson's Layout Manager, which allows users to import and layout data for various print applications.

The Epson Stylus Pro 7700 is available for £2,395, while the Stylus Pro 9700 retails for £4,795, excluding VAT, from December 2009.
