According to Epson, the Pro WT7900 is capable of rapidly producing an A2 package proof in less than 16 minutes using a uni-directional, 720x1440dpi print mode. Epson claims this decrease in production time makes the Pro WT7900 a perfect solution for high volume printing environments.

Craig Heckenberg, business unit manager, business solutions division, Epson Australia says, “The Stylus Pro WT7900 reflects Epson’s ongoing commitment to the graphic arts community while showcasing Epson’s strong engineering capabilities in another innovative and world-first product.”

He continues, “The great thing about the Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 is that it meets the needs of graphic arts professionals who want colour accurate package proofs on both clear and opaque substrates without the high expense of other conventional package proofing systems.”

Equipped with the Epson UltraChrome HDR with White Ink, the printer has nine colours including Orange and Green. With this water-based pigment ink formulation the Pro WT7900 is capable of producing high quality package proofs for environmentally conscious users in both office and factory locations, according to Epson.

The company also outlines that the proofer’s Epson MicroPiezo TFP print head is designed for use with high viscous white ink uses two print modes (reverse print and surface print) for wide substrate compatibility and dramatically reduces the production process to just one step by printing direct-to-film without the need to laminate.

Using the print head’s nine colour channels the Pro WT7900 can accurately simulate various colour tints commonly found in different types of white ink, resulting in highly accurate colour proofs, Epson concludes.
