Epson Stylus Pro 7700 Ink Cartridges

Epson 7700 Printer Review

The Epson Stylus Pro 7700 is a high-performance inkjet device that can handle the large format printing needs of engineers, graphic designers and photographers. The unit has moderately quick speeds, printing a 16x20-inch job in as fast as 21 seconds and a 22x30-inch project in 45 seconds. Users with a versatile range of projects stand to benefit from this machine, which has a wide-format design that can handle media with a maximum size of 24 inches, affordable Stylus Pro 7700 printer ink and easy-to-use features.

One of the downsides to using a wide-format printer like the 7700 is finding space for its bulky size, measuring 53x27x48 inches. Since the device comes with a convenient stand, it can stand upright on its own without a desktop. Walk-up use is minimal since the machine lacks wireless connectivity or a color LCD for quick access to one-touch tools, instead providing a simple 4-way pad for navigating menus and a 2.5-inch monochrome display. Users will be able to print documents through the ethernet network interface or directly through the wired USB port.

The unit's flexible media handling has two input options, including one single-roll feed with a diameter of up to 6 inches and an automatic loading tray for cut-sheet paper. Both input options can support paper with a maximum width of 24 inches, but buyers looking for greater media flexibility should consider the similar 9700 model that can handle a maximum width of 44 inches. An additional media feature included with the 7700 is a built-in media cutter, which enables the device to automatically cut a project from the paper roll with precision.

Whether users have monochrome or color projects, this device can print with consistent and precise detail that will support professional jobs. It operates with UltraChrome Epson 7700 printer ink that can print a minimum droplet size of 3.5 picoliters and a sharp resolution of 1440 dpi.

The device operates with 5 individual Epson 7700 ink cartridges, including a matte black, photo black, cyan, magenta and yellow supply. Since users have the option to replace Epson 7700 ink cartridges with remanufactured supplies, which are significantly more cost-effective than expensive OEM Stylus Pro 7700 ink supplies.

Although the 7700 lacks the convenience of a touchscreen display and support of wider media like some comparable models, the device benefits from cost efficiency, network connectivity and a professional-quality output. Users willing to sacrifice features like PC-free and walk-up printing for an inexpensive and reliable unit should consider this large-format inkjet machine.
