Manufacturing
In order to ensure consistent printing between multiple
Epson Stylus Pro printers of the same model, Epson has refi ned
the manufacturing process to include colorimetric calibration.
This process evaluates and adjusts each printer’s performance
at the manufacturing stage, ensuring consistent color output from
printer to printer and print to print.

A Cartridge yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings,
temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or
predominantly with one ink color. A variable amount of ink remains in the cartridge
after the “replace cartridge” signal. Part of the ink from the fi rst cartridges is used for
priming the printer. Ink is used for both printing and print head maintenance. All inks
are used for both black and color printing. For more information about cartridges, see
www.epson.com/cartridgeinfo
B Based upon print engine high-speed (bi-directional) print mode only. Total throughput
times depend upon front-end RIP, fi le size, printer resolution, ink coverage, networking,
etc. Normal Mode based on SuperFine — 1440 dpi.
C Print permanence based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, displayed
indoors, under UV coated glass. Actual print stability will vary according to media,
printed image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions.
Epson does not guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints
under glass or lamination or properly store them.
