To reach ultimate heights in professional inkjet printing consider the super-quality of the Epson Stylus Pro 4900 Inkjet Printer.
This amazing wide-format printer accepts sheet and roll media up to
17"/432mm wide and incorporates the newest professional printing
technologies to produce breath-taking photos and artwork. Epson's
UltraChrome HDR - the latest generation of pigment ink technology - uses
ten colors, including an all-new orange and green to produce the widest
color gamut ever from an Epson Stylus Pro printer.
Improving upon earlier models, the Stylus Pro 4900 incorporates a
three-level black ink technology which simultaneously uses black, light
black and light light black inks. The results show outstanding gray
balance and highlight-to shadow grayscale accuracy plus impressive high
density levels and virtually no bronzing. The Stylus Pro 4900 further
improves upon previous models with automatic black ink mode switching -
load both photo and matte black inks into the printer and the 4900 will
automatically switch from one to the other with minimal ink loss - talk
about custom printing!
With an even higher level of ink droplet accuracy than found on previous
Epson printer models, the high-precision, ten-channel MicroPiezo TFP
Print Head has been enhanced with an exclusive ink repelling coating
technology to dramatically reduce nozzle clogging for more printing
production with fewer headaches. This, combined with the Epson AccuPhoto
HD screening technology, gives you the means to print at an astonishing
resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi.
Capable of handling virtually any type of cut-sheet media up to
17"/432mm wide, the Epson Stylus Pro 4900 incorporates a high-capacity
paper tray that accommodates up to 250 sheets of plain paper in sizes
ranging from letter size sheets to roll media up to 17.0" x 132.0'/432mm
x 40 m. The printer conveniently provides different ways to load media,
including a front-loading, straight-through path capable of handling
media up to 1.5 mm thick and a second, top-loading, single-sheet feeder
optimized for fine art paper.
When you are printing large-format photos or artwork the biggest
nightmare is waiting - slow production means less profit. The 4900 is a
natural solution to the problem - it delivers a 2880 dpi 16.0 x
20.0"/406 x 508mm photo in High-Speed/HS print mode in only 6 minutes,
28 seconds!

print head is equipped with 360 nozzles per channel. It is also equipped
with auto-sharing black ink channel technology. Additionally, an ink
repelling coating dramatically reduces nozzle clogging.
-
The print head produces variable-sized droplets as small as 3.5
picoliters to greatly decrease print times while optimizing photographic
quality. Variable Droplet Technology can produce up to three different
droplet sizes per print line.
AccuPhoto HDR Screening Technology
-
AccuPhoto HDR Screening Technology is an advanced screening
algorithm and ten-color screening algorithm result in prints with
superior color and clarity with a maximum resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi
for incredibly sharp text and line art. The technology produces

extremely accurate highlight-to-shadow details.
-
When combined with the precise dot placement accuracy of the
Epson MicroPiezo TFP print head, overall photographic print quality is
dramatically improved with consistent color balance regardless of the
viewing light source. There is no visible photographic graininess due to
the printing process. Photographic graininess could still be visible if
present in the actual file being printed.
PreciseColor Technology
-
In order to ensure consistent printing between multiple Epson
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
-
A built-in sensor performs highly precise alignments of all
color channels. This technology aligns both uni-directional and
bi-directional print modes.
Three-Level Black Ink Technology
-
The Stylus Pro 4900 simultaneously uses black, light black and
light light black inks. It significantly improves the gray balance while
eliminating color casts and achieves outstanding highlight-to-shadow
grayscale accuracy for a smoother tonal range.

Automatic Nozzle Verification and Cleaning
-
Embedded sensors quickly verify nozzle status without using
media and automatically clean the print head if required. It is user
configurable to meet your specific nozzle verification requirements.
-
Extremely reduced color inconstancy ensures uniform color under
any lighting condition. This technology virtually eliminates any
bronzing of basic pigment chemistry. It also enhances the ICC profiling
process for ColorSync and ICM workflows.
