Advanced 17" Wide Desktop Printer for Professionals.

Epson is the standard by which all other photographic ink jet printers are measured. So when we decided to build a next-generation desktop printer, it had to be a breakthrough.

The result is the all-new Epson Stylus Pro 4000 desktop printer. Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professionals, the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 incorporates a unique 17" wide printer design with all of our latest ink, print head, and printer engine technologies, ensuring your creative vision will be produced without compromise.

Utilizing Epson UltraChrome™ Ink technology, you'll produce archival prints with amazing color fidelity, while providing consistently stable colors that significantly outperform standard dye ink technologies. In order to maximize the use of this remarkable ink technology, we've developed a unique 8-channel print head capable of handling eight separate ink cartridges simultaneously. This allows the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 to handle both Photo Black and Matte Black inks at the same time in order to maximize the black density on virtually any media type.

Even more remarkable, the new high-performance 1" wide print head produces an astonishing resolution of 2880 x1440 dpi to deliver a level of image quality and speed that even exceeds our previous best.

Handling virtually any media type in roll or cut-sheet up to 17" wide, the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 even incorporates a high-capacity paper tray capable of handling cut-sheet media up to 17"x 22". Choose from four different ways to load media, including a front-loading straight-through path for media up to 1.5mm posterboard, giving you the ultimate in media flexibility.
