Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 Designer Edition – the package prototyping solution

By Databazaar Blog

The Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 incorporates Epson’s latest achievements in high-resolution ink jet technology and their first of its kind, Epson UltraChrome™ HDR White Ink. This aqueous based white ink uses the new Organic Hollow Resin Particle Technology to produce white color; no known carcinogens are involved.

This printer has a 9-color system that uses the HDR (High Dynamic Range) pigment based inks that provide a wide color range. The high precision 10-channel print head is capable of printing both color and white in the same pass. The built-in cleaning cartridges automatically clean the print head, making it virtually maintenance free.

Both Reverse white and Surface white printing press methods are supported. In the reverse white method all the colored inks are applied first followed by white; the prototype is viewed from the “reverse” side. In the surface white method white color is printed first followed by all the other colors; the prototype is viewed from the surface of the media.

The front loading media includes a number of new substrates and ink jet coated clear as well as metallic films. Both rolls and cut sheets are supported, with the maximum roll width not exceeding 24”. This printer incorporates roll media length tracking and identification that is useful for tracking partially used rolls and issuing alerts when nearing the end of media. The Epson ePlaten™ Media Loading Technology ensures accurate media loading, movement, skew adjustment and tracking.

The control panel consists of a 2.5” color LCD that displays the status of the print job and intuitive navigation buttons for the basic printer functions. The Designer Edition includes support for the EFI®eXpress.

With this printer, you can produce proofing prints for a variety of packaging, including the most difficult flexographic and gravure print jobs.

Epson Artisan 837 – brilliant photos at super-fast print speeds

By Databazaar Blog

Epson Artisan 837 is one of the latest and best all-in-one printers from the house of Epson. Artisan 837 delivers the best of both worlds with its sleek, compact design and high performance. Epson claims that this model offers the world’s fastest 4 x 6 inch print speeds and ultra-high definition prints by using the MicroPiezo technology. This provides brilliant photos in vivid colors without compromising on the print speed.

The 7.8 inch easy to handle touch panel has a large display that lights up only the buttons you need. It also has a 3.5inch LCD to preview, edit and print photos. Features such as auto photo correction and red-eye removal add value to your photo printing experience. With built-in wireless and Ethernet networking you can print and scan from any room in the house.

You can send faxes in color at a faster than before rate of 3 seconds per page. Store up to 60 speed dials and up to 180 pages in the memory. The 30-page automatic document feeder facilitates quick copying, scanning and faxing. This printer also has individual ink cartridges, so you need to replace only the color that you need.

Adding more zing to your photo printing experience is the option to create coloring books, personal note paper, invitations and greeting cards using your own photos. Instant wireless printing of photos and attachments can be done from your mobile devices too.
