Epson’s A3+ Photo Printer Featuring 2880dpi Photo Reproduction Quality!
The Epson Stylus Photo 1290 prints images of up to A3+ size in stunning 2880 dpi 6-colour photo reproduction quality! Full-featured for professional use, it incorporates Epson’s latest breakthroughs : True BorderFree printing on cut sheets, borderless edge-to-edge printing on roll paper and Epson Natural Color!
2880 dpi, 6-Colour Ink System For Professional Results
Epson’s stunning 2880 dpi 6-colour and 4-picolitre Ultra Micro Dot photo
reproduction quality delivers exceptional results, revealing the sharpest
details in both highlighted and shadowed areas.
Such outstanding clarity is supported by Epson Natural Color which accurately reproduces colour as perceived by the human eye. The dominant colours of Nature – for instance, the greens and blues of fields and forests, seas and skies – are all faithfully reproduced on print, overcoming the display limitations of computer monitors.
When printed on Epson Matte Paper-Heavyweight and mounted in a glass frame, your beautiful True BorderFree digital photos will achieve high lightfastness.
New True BorderFree and Edge-to-Edge Printing Technology
The Epson Stylus Photo 1290 lets you print posters, banners and presentation
materials completely without borders on both cut sheets and roll paper!
True BorderFree printing is possible on cut sheets so that an image fills up the entire paper right to the edges – on all 4 sides and up to A3+ size!
The printer’s unique design which includes a roll paper holder also lets you use roll paper to produce borderless edge-to-edge digital photos in different sizes all the way to A3+ width!
No matter which paper media you choose, you’ll find that Epson’s latest PhotoQuicker 2.0 makes borderless printing easier. And it’s just as useful for producing banners, panoramic pictures, index prints and more, as well as adding creative effects for a more professional look.
Save Time, Enhance Efficiency
Printing tasks are completed more swiftly with the Epson Stylus Photo 1290.
In breathtaking photo mode, a full colour image in A4-size takes only 220
seconds to print. At full speed, you get up to 9.4 pages per minute for black
and 9.0 pages per minute for colour.
This combination of speed and quality is the result of bi-directional printing and Epson Variable-Sized Droplet Technology which uses larger dots in areas of solid colour and smaller dots in areas of gradation and blending.
Versatile Connectivity and Network Upgradability
The Epson Stylus Photo1290 features both USB and parallel port connectivity with
PCs, Macintosh® and iMac® computers. It can be upgraded as a network printer via
an optional external printer server.
Once set up, this sleek printer with a quiet engine offers great performance. For example, you can enhance low resolution pictures through a new Smooth Edge function which pinpoints and smoothens rough edges on text and images. You can also process postscript files with the optional Epson StylusRIP. Indeed, you’ll have everything you need for professional standard photo printing.
