If resolution were increased from 720 dpi to 1,440 dpi, print time would be excessive. Keeping resolution at 720 dpi gives good-looking output at acceptable speed. Our lab tests confirmed Epson's print speed claims. Not bad, considering the resolution and the number of inks. The proprietary print head design gives good control over the size and consistency of ink dot size and shape for clean, crisp images.
Inks dry quickly enough to minimize smudging or bleeding of output.
If you do a lot of work with digital photos and need quality hard copy, the Epson Stylus Photo prints the best photorealistic output we've seen. It will be a must for any office that embeds photos in documents. Even the text characters could pass for laser printer output. Drivers for Windows NT 4.0 will likely be available on Epson's World Wide Web site soon. All rights reserved.
