EPSON Advanced MicroPiezo™ Technology
EPSON Advanced MicroPiezo™
Technology includes two major new
features: EPSON Ultra MicroDot™
and EPSON Variable-Sized Droplet
Technology. The Advanced MicroPiezo™ Printhead is central to these developments, and includes an increased number of print nozzles, both black and colour, to bring improvements in quality and a 40% improvement on speed. EPSON Ultra MicroDot™ enables the Stylus COLOR 740 to deliver the smallest dot in the world, an astonishing 6pi (picolitres), while EPSON’s breakthrough Variable Sized Droplet Technology makes three dot sizes possible - 6, 10 and 19pi (picolitres) - on one page, targeting the smallest dots at areas of detail while utilising the largest for areas of block colour.
In addition to maximising the efficiency of the printer’s ink cartridges and optimising print speed, these new developments assure Photo Quality images with exceptional definition and
AcuPhoto™ Halftoning
Definitive colour reproduction is assured by EPSON’s exclusive 32bit AcuPhoto™ technology which enables this remarkable printer to render variations in colour and texture with greater subtlety and detail than ever before.
Further enhancing image quality, EPSON Super MicroWeave™ enables fine, continuous tonal gradations to be achieved.
QuickDry™ Inks
Working through a
Specialised Paper Media
Treated with a special transparent coating, EPSON Photo Quality papers allow individual ink droplets to penetrate instantly whilst locking them in place. The Stylus COLOR 740 is optimised for plain paper printing whilst EPSON’s range of special media ensures a perfect match with the printer’s capabilities, to provide breathtaking results.
