Epson has launched the 61cm Stylus Pro WT7900 printer which features white aqueous ink.
The printer is designed specifically for packaging proof applications. It features sophisticated colour management and control, wide gamut reproduction and precision printing on a variety of flexible film, paper and metallic media. The WT7900 will made its first appearance at Labelexpo in Brussels last week.
The printer uses a 9-colour Epson UltraChrome HDR (High Dynamic Range) ink set to produce a wide colour gamut and accurate spot colours. To deliver the high density white tints and accurate overlays important for packaging proof applications Epson has developed a water-based white ink specifically for this printer.
The optional Epson Spectroproofer gives Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 users automatic and precise colour management and control for reliable and consistent proof verification, colour calibration, colour certification, profile creation, spot colour matching, colour shift tracking and target measurement, according to the company.
A colour certification label, such as the Fogra wedge, can be printed to support the certification process.
These features enable users to integrate the Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 into their production workflows, onsite and over a network of remote locations if required.
Epson's Micropiezo thin-film-piezo (TFP) printhead delivers spherical dots with high-precision dot placement and can deliver resolutions up to 2,880dpi.
Throughput results in a maximum speed of up to 40m2 per hour in standard mode.
