Full size A2 EPSON PhotoReal printing.
The 1440 dpi EPSON Stylus COLOR 3000 is a true A2* printer. A print width of 410mm on A2 sheets makes it ideal for virtually all the in-house printing needs of design consultancies, architectural, engineering and product design offices who need to work with standard print areas and paper sizes. The built-in paper roll holder enables this versatile printer to output banners 414mm wide by up to 5 metres long, making it equally suited to the large format requirements of the professional graphics studio.
Individual high capacity ink cartridges to satisfy higher demand.
While four colour capability is vital for realistic visuals and plays an increasingly important role in CAD/CAM drawings, the majority of line and schematic work is printed black and perhaps annotated or colour coded in a second colour. For greater operational flexibility, the Stylus COLOR 3000 features four separate high capacity ink cartridges: cyan, magenta, yellow and black the black cartridge can print 3800 pages (A4 ECMA); the colour cartridges 2100 pages. This means that you need only replace individual cartridges as they run out, avoiding wastage and minimising consumable costs. If, however, a colour cartridge runs out the printer will continue to print in black only.
