E P S ON 7 9 0 0 & 99 0 0 Us er R epo r t b y Julian Mu ssi © Spectraow , Inc. 4 1 5 -382-8 68 1 Nov 2 00 8 Introducing the Epson Stylus Pro 7900 and 9900 In May Epson announced two new professional inkjet printers, the Stylus Pro 7900 (24”) and Stylus Pro 9900 (44”). Far from a simple update to the existing 7880 and 9880, these printer[...]

Printer Hardware The 900 series have a distinctive look that announces their break from the 880 series printers. The x900 is much more rectangular and considerably more bulky , giving it a more industrial feel. The visual change also results in some basic functional changes. Gone is the ubiquitous paper release lever , and the ink compart - ment dr[...]

in general was simple and the inclusion of animations on the screen aids users in performing simple tasks such as loading the paper or changing inks. Paper feed system Epson’s media handling system has always been very straightforward and has seen little change over the last 10 years. The simplicity of the system was its strength, and while I’m[...]

Spectroproofer The SpectroProofer is an accessory unit from Epson that adds an automated X-Rite spectrophotometer to the printer . HP shook up the industry by integrating a spectrophotometer on all of their Z-series printers. This allowed for automated linearization, and automated prole creation on most models. While Epson is obviously respondin[...]

Linearization The linearization option is specic to media and resolution, although the user is given the option of linearizing all resolutions in a row . T o linearize, 720, 1440, and 2880 takes about 45 minutes. A single resolution takes about 15 minutes, which is similar to the time it takes the HP to perform the same function. I like printers[...]

The X9 00 also incorporates an au tomat ed clog de tecti on sys tems, a paperless method that uses light to detect clogged nozzles. If clogged nozzles are de tected the printer will automa tic ally r u n a head cleaning cycle , and then verif y that the c logs were removed . This sys tem is more elegant than reading printed patches to detect clogge[...]

Ultrachrome HDR In the beginning there was Ultrachrome. Ultrachrome K3 added the light light black, and K3 with Vivid Ma - genta saw a reformulation of the magenta and light magenta inks. The Espon X900 showcases the latest Ultrachrome variant, dubbed Ultrachrome HDR (High Dynamic Range). This new version adds an orange and green ink to the mix. At[...]

Looking at a large collection of prints it would be difcult to say that any printer consistently produced the best prints. The greens were more saturated on the 7900 and Z3200 than those produced on the 7880. The 7900 hold more saturation in the shadows, while the Z3200 produced marginally punchier bright greens. In a few specic cases, the Z3[...]

Printer Drivers and MyEpson.com The Drivers found on the x900 are very similar to those for the x880 printers. One nice change is that the driver will now intelligently sync with Photoshop CS3/CS4. If color management is set to “Photoshop Manages Colors” in Photoshop the driver will automatically disable printer color management, avoiding color[...]

Summary Until recently Epson has really only had one professional printer , with 17”, 24”, and 44” variations. I think it’s testament to the success of their design that they were able to dominate the ne art markets and large portions of the proong market. Over the last ten years they have continued to rene the pro line to the curr[...]
