Epson Stylus Color 900
Introducing the Epson Stylus COLOUR 900 inkjet printer, the fastest colour inkjet in its class. The STYLUS COLOR 900 prints at 12ppm - an amazing one page every five seconds.

The STYLUS COLOR 900 is ideal for the business environment, catering for different business needs such as black text, colour presentations and graphs. It also offers flexible connectivity solutions, including Universal Serial Bus (USB) for Windows 98 and iMac's, and Mac G3.

Fastest inkjet printer today
The Epson STYLUS COLOR 900 is by far the fastest inkjet printer in this class on the market today. The combination of printing technologies that have been used in the STYLUS COLOR 900 ensure it is a high-speed, high-image quality printer.

Variable-Sized Droplet Technology
The STYLUS COLOR 900 incorporates Epson's Variable-Sized Droplet technology and is an enhancement to Micro Piezo technology, part of the PerfectPicture Imaging System. With Variable-Sized Droplet technology the dot size is controlled according to the tone level required of the final output. Large ink dots are used when printing solid colours and small ink dots when printing gradations, skin tones and more detailed areas of an image. By using a combination of large, medium and small ink dot sizes, the Epson STYLUS COLOR 900 produces a combination of speed and print quality without compromise.

Smallest dot size in the market
The small ink droplets are called Ultra MicroDots and at three picolitres it's the world's smallest ink droplet when printing in either black or colour. The overall print quality has been considerably enhanced because small ink dots produce much finer detail and smoother gradations.

Connectivity and software
The Epson STYLUS COLOR 900 works with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and Mac® OS 8.1 to 9.X. It features multi-protocol autoswitching via parallel, serial and USB ports and has networking capabilities through a Type-B (10/100 Base TX) interface card (additional option).

Printer driver software includes standard features such as Watermark, print layout and fit-to-page printing, and also includes specialised features such as sharpness control and digital camera image correction. It also has an Automatic Mode that adjusts the colour and print quality for the type of paper used which eliminates the need to guess the printer settings.

Cartridges
The Epson STYLUS COLOR 900 is optimised for business environments and features high-capacity ink cartridges designed to handle volume printing. Office users will also appreciate the high durability and low operating costs of the printer.
