Overview

The Stylus Pro 9890 Designer Edition Printer from Epson gives you the ability to print on almost any type of media, including rigid materials. As an upgrade of the Stylus Pro 7890, the printer has the ability to print on wider, 44-inch media and has an optional automatic take-up reel system which helps automate large print runs.

The Stylus Pro 9890 is ideal for signage, posters, and photography, and because it has 4 blacks it's ideal for printing your black and white photography. Switching between media is fast and easy, ensuring a better workflow and minimal down time while swapping media. Epson's ePlaten Media Loading Technology uses the roll's barcode to store information about each roll for the next time you use it. The printer will remember how much was left on the roll the next time you insert it into the printer. Because it knows exactly how much paper is left on the roll, you won't waste time and ink printing when there isn't enough left on the roll. This especially comes in handy if you frequently switch between printing media - you don't have to keep track of how much is left and if it's enough for your job, the printer does it for you. Other convenient features include automatic roll rewind upon media release and roll adapters instead of a media spindle which simply attach to the 2 ends of the roll and provide a secure connection to the printer. You also have the option to buy additional media adapters and leave them attached to frequently used rolls to speed up the media swapping process.

The nine individual ink cartridges are available in sizes up to 700 ml, helping you make in-house printing more cost-effective so you save valuable time and can fully control your results. The pressurized ink cartridges deliver the exact amount of ink required and should one of them run out during a print job, you can switch to a new cartridge right then and there, no need to cancel the current job, lose the page you were printing and start over.
