prints with amazing color fidelity, while providing consistently
stable colors that significantly outperform standard dye ink
technologies. In order to maximize the use of this remarkable ink

Matte Black inks at the same time in order to maximize the black
density on virtually any media type.
Even more remarkable, the new high-performance 1" wide print
head produces an astonishing resolution of 2880 x1440 dpi
to deliver a level of image quality and speed that even exceeds
our previous best.
Handling virtually any media type in roll or cut-sheet up to 17"
wide, the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 even incorporates a high-capacity
paper tray capable of handling cut-sheet media up to 17"x 22".
