Among the standout models in this series are the Epson Pro 9700 and Epson Pro 7700, both designed for professional photographers, graphic artists, and businesses seeking high-quality print outputs.

The Epson Pro 9700 is a 44-inch wide-format printer that excels in producing stunning, vibrant images. One of its main features is the advanced Epson PrecisionCore technology, which utilizes a range of micro-fine dots to create exceptionally detailed prints. This technology not only enhances image quality but also increases productivity, making it an ideal choice for high-demand environments.

Equipped with the UltraChrome HD pigment ink, the Pro 9700 offers an impressive color gamut and exceptional longevity.
