Epson Announces 4800, 7800, & 9600 Printers
Epson announced new inkjet printers, the Stylus Pro 4800, Stylus Pro 7800, and Stylus Pro 9800, in the Pro Graphics line of inkjet printers on May 10, 2005. These latest printers bring faster print times, higher quality, and better black and white printing for the photographic, fine art (giclee), and proofing customer.
The Epson 4800, 7800, and 9800 printers all feature Epson's latest 1 inch print head which yields super high quality at very fast speeds. They will print at up to 2880x1440 using variable droplet technolgy with as little as a 3.5 picoliter droplet. Epson has introduced a new inkset, Ultrachrome K3, for the 4800, 7800, & 9800 printers. Ultrachrome K3 uses 8 separate inks including the familiar Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Light Black, and adds a new Light Light Black. This new inkset is said to produce a wider gamut, higher dMax, and more neutral grayscale when compared with existing Epson ultrachrome inks.
The Epson Stylus Pro 4800 can print 17" wide and will be replacing the Epson Stylus Pro 4000. The 4800 is expected to begin shipping by the end of May or early June, 2005. Epson says the 4800 will be approximately 20 percent faster than the 4000. They will also be offering a 4800 Pro model featuring a postscript RIP and ethernet card bundle. Because of the new "3rd" black ink, on the fly switching between photo and matte black will not be possible. Users will have to flush the ink and replace the current black with the different black.
The Epson Stylus Pro 7800 and Epson Stylus Pro 9800 will be replacing the 7600 and 9600 printers respectively. The 7800 can print up to 24" wide and the 9800 can print up to 44" wide. The 7800 and 9800 will be nearly twice as fast as the 7600 and 9600. The Epson Stylus Pro 7800 and 9800 printers are not expected to ship until September, 2005.

Epson Stylus Pro 4800: $1995
Epson Stylus Pro 4800 Pro Edition: $2,495
Epson Stylus Pro 7800: $2,995

Digital Technology Group, Inc. (dtgweb.com) is taking orders for these printers immediately. DTG has a priority waiting list for each printer which requires a $100 deposit. DTG will be shipping to customers on the priority list first, in the order in which they receive deposits. DTG also has a standard waiting list which is free to get on. After DTG ships all of our orders to customers on the priority list, shipments to the standard waiting list will begin.
Look for a review of the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 printer in Late May or early June on www.dtgweb.com/reviews. DTG will be comparing the 4800 to the Epson 4000 with head to head testing.
