Epson Expands Pro Photo Printer Range Epson has added to their professional photo printer range with the  Stylus Pro 7900 and 9900, both of which use their new UltraChrome HDR ink, which they claim will produce improved color blends and transitions. The 7900 and 9900 are priced at $3995 and $5995 respectively, and will be available in November. Both the Stylus 7900 and 9900 print at a maximum resolution of 2800 by 1440 dots per inch with a droplet size of 3.5 picoliters, and include both photo and matte black ink cartridges. The new UltraChrome HDR ink system also adds orange and an additional green ink for a total of 11 ink cartridges, with the individual ink cartridges being available in 150, 350 and 700 ml capacities. Epson claims that this large number of individual inks allows both printers to produce their widest color gamut ever. The $3995 7900 can handle paper up to 24 inches wide, while the 9900 stretches the maximum width out to 44 inches.  Both have a straight-through paper path and a rotary cutter that allows for the use of most canvas and fine art papers. Epson claims it can cut the paper at the end of a print in under two seconds. Both printers will be available in November. More details are available on the 7900 here, and on the 9900 here.
