Epson Stylus Pro 7700/9700 not only guarantee print quality, work with a wide variety of media, but also simplicity and ease of use, high print speed and low cost per print. In addition, HDI drivers are available for printers, which are required for AutoCAD, one of the main software design tools. All this will help make the work of architects simple and enjoyable.
The Epson Stylus Pro 7700/9700 printers are inkjet based on Epson's proprietary technology - Epson Micro Piezo. Its main advantage is that it is based on a completely controlled system for supplying an electrical impulse to the piezoelectric element. The size of the drop is formed depending on the strength of the electrical impulse. Due to the possibility of using drops of different sizes, the devices are able to print both the thinnest graphic line and a large area of paper with a single color.
Especially worth mentioning is the Epson UltraChrome K3 Vivid Magenta ink, which is half the success. Firstly, it is pigmented ink, which means that it adheres better to paper than water-soluble ones. In addition, Epson UltraChrome K3 Vivid Magenta is very resistant to damage, mechanical stress, and water! This is especially important for those who travel to the site, taking documentation with them. Second, a special magenta composition has been added here to expand the gamut.
Despite the fact that there are four colors, there are five cartridges in the printer: the company has added matte to the usual black. It is denser, fits better and is fixed on paper. This allows you to achieve great results, whether matte or glossy. Switching between cartridges is automatic, so just remember to specify the correct paper type in the driver.
Printing technology and inks have enabled devices to achieve high-quality printing on almost all types of paper and even on board up to 1.5 mm thick, which is quite rare. For perfect quality, Epson also offers its own paper, which is specially designed for printing drawings, technical presentations, CAD (ISO 9706 standard) and GIS. We are talking about Bond Paper White, Bond Paper Bright, Bond Paper Satine, Coated Paper, Presentation Paper HiRes - the ink on this paper dries quickly and it reproduces colors perfectly. In addition, prints on these papers are highly lightfast - up to 100 years.
The cost of ownership of the Epson Stylus Pro 7700 and Epson Stylus 9700 printers is much lower than many similar models. You save at all stages: buying the printer itself, cartridges and print media. The print head in all Epson printers is not a consumable item, it does not need to be replaced after a certain time. Therefore, cartridges and paper are the only consumables. Larger cartridges allow you to print more. In addition, separate cartridges make it possible to change only the finished color, and not the entire set. And the new original Epson media is very attractive in price.
It only remains to add that the Epson Stylus Pro 7700/9700 are very fast - their speed reaches 46 m2 / h. However, at this high speed, quality is not compromised thanks to modern compression and data recovery technologies that can increase throughput during printing.
However, some architects have already been able to appreciate all the above advantages of printing and ease of work. A few months ago, Epson joined the Partner Club of the Union of Moscow Architects, and one of the recommended printers, Epson Stylus Pro 7700, was installed in the building of the Union.
