Inkjet Printing Solutions Provide More Options for Map Printing

Seiko Epson Corporation (Epson) and ESRI have been working hard to develop a solution that can quickly print large maps and maintain their print quality. The new ArcPress Epson Universal Driver came into being, which is exactly one of the new features of ArcGIS Desktop 9.2. At the same time, it will extend ArcPress print support to the full line of Epson Stylus Pro series large format inkjet printers.

ArcGIS software has always provided software support for the Epson Stylus Pro series of large format printers, and now ArcPress Epson Universal Drive provides it with a higher level of support. It enables the ArcPress printer engine with ultra-high printing capabilities to drive Epson Stylus Pro printers. This means that large map printing of ArcGIS Desktop 9.2 is better supported even when large-scale maps are output in high resolution.

The Epson Stylus Pro printer is renowned for providing high-quality printing without sacrificing print efficiency or printing power. As a result, demanding users of the GIS and photography, art, and print products industries have always had high expectations for the print quality and efficiency of the Epson Stylus Pro series printers. The ESRI ArcPress Epson Universal Drive supports the Epson Stylus Pro 4800, 7800, and 9800 printers, which use Epson's "Century Iris K3" pigment ink and Epson's unique micro-piezoelectric printing technology to ensure long-lasting color and fade-free color on the printed image. The new ArcPress driver also supports the Epson Stylus Pro 4400, 7400, and 9400 printers, enabling high-speed output and high image quality.

"The partnership between Epson and ESRI allowed us to integrate our newly developed Epson Stylus Pro printers with ESRI's ArcGIS 9.2 software to meet the different needs of GIS users." Epson Inkjet Printer & Picture Product Design Department General Manager Hiroshi Sotokawa commented: “I am confident that this new combination of technologies will set a new standard for GIS.”

For the Epson Stylus Pro series of printers, ESRI's user base has provided support requirements for the ArcPress printer engine. We are also very happy to respond: ArcPress Epson Universal Driver based on ArcGIS Desktop 9.2. "Micheal Grossman, Product Engineer at ESRI ArcGIS Print Technologies, said, "We and Epson have jointly developed this new ArcPress driver." With ArcMap, ESRI and Epson co-users will be able to print large images with their Epson Stylus Pro Series plotters at the highest speed and quality. ”
