22 April, 2010– Epson has launched the Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 large format printer, the world’s first water-based inkjet printer that is able to print white colour using Epson’s proprietary Epson UltraChrome High Dynamic-Range (HDR) ink with white. Designed specifically for packaging proof printing applications, the Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 allows flexographic and gravure printing firms to simulate proofs on inkjet coated media efficiently and affordably. The large format inkjet printer uses a 9-colour Epson UltraChrome HDR ink set to produce a wide colour gamut, including water-based white ink, to deliver high density white tints and accurate overlays which are important for packaging proof applications. In addition, the printer also comes with orange and green inks to create rich and highly accurate spot colours. ...cont´d
