Back catalogue – Stylus Photo 870
Whether you're printing digital camera images, scanned images, Photo CD images, or images downloaded from the internet, the new Epson Stylus Photo 870 boasts our finest printout quality ever.
Unparalleled Image Quality
With 6-colour printing at 1440 dpi - and the incredible precision of 4 pl (picolitre) Ultra Micro Dots - it's only natural that Epson STYLUS PHOTO 870 printouts look great. But we've actually taken things a step further, and teamed our exclusive Variable-Sized Droplet technology with a new version of AcuPhoto Halftoning™. The result is an entirely new standard of colour fidelity and image quality, with delicately rendered blends and gradations that make your printouts indistinguishable from photographs.
Faster print speed
The Epson STYLUS PHOTO 870 offers high-speed bi-directional printing in all print modes.
Variable-Sized Droplet technology maintains an optimum balance between speed and image quality by using larger dot sizes for solid colours, and smaller dot sizes for gradations and blends.
Borderless, Edge to Edge Printing1
You can enjoy borderless, edge-to-edge printing on Epson Photo Paper1, with a convenient Multi-Reprint function that lets you print up to 10 copies at a time on roll-paper media.
There's also a versatile Banner function that lets you print 6 images as a single banner, add lettering, logos or mini-illustrations, and even paint on and apply transparency masks to your images.
Outstanding Versatility
Our full-featured driver software with Epson PhotoEnhance 4 gives you complete control over how your images print. You can choose print layouts and watermarks with a single click - even enhance low-resolution images downloaded from digital cameras or the internet.
In addition, PhotoEnhance 4 offers five Tone settings (Monochrome, Normal, Hard, Vivid and Sepia) and five Effect settings (Sharpness, Soft Focus, Canvas, Parchment and None) for enhanced creativity.
New Intellidge Ink Cartridges
New Intellidge™ ink cartridges ensure accurate ink level display via our Status Monitor 3 - even when partially used cartridges are removed and reinserted. So you can insert fresh cartridges for big, important printing jobs, and then switch back to the partially used cartridges later. The result is more efficient ink usage, with worry-free operation when you need it most.
Plug-and-Play Setup Ease
USB connectivity provides plug-and-play support for Windows® 95/98 2000 NT4.0 operating environments and the Mac® OS 8.1 to 9.X.
1 Borderless printing requires roll-type Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper (100mm x 8m) and Roll Paper Holder.
