Thanks to its innovative straight paper path, the Epson Stylus Pro 9000 offers something truly unique - the ability to print directly on poster board as thick as 1.5mm. With this kind of media handling flexibility, you can produce display-ready boards as large as 1030 x 728mm (40 x 28") in-house. We''ve even prepared a choice of high-quality Epson Semigloss Poster Board media for you. Available in B1 (1030 x 728mm) and B2 (728 x 515mm) sizes with a thickness of 1.2mm, they offer outstanding photo image quality and colour intensity.
Print on 1118mm-Wide Roll Paper
Big jobs are a piece of cake for the Epson STYLUS PRO 9000 because it accepts roll paper up to 1118mm (B0+) wide, and has a print area 20cm wider than 914mm (A0) printers. With this level of capacity you''ll be able to create the kind of big, high-impact items that used to be impossible to produce in-house. In addition, you can manually feed cut sheet paper in sizes as small as A3.
