Epson Stylus Photo 700 Specification

The Epson Stylus Photo 700 is a color inkjet printer designed to deliver high-quality photo prints and versatile document handling. It employs Epson's Micro Piezo print head technology, which ensures precise dot placement and a maximum resolution of up to 1440 x 720 dpi for vibrant and detailed images. The printer supports a wide variety of media types, including glossy photo paper, plain paper, and transparencies, with a maximum media size of A4.

Equipped with a six-color ink system, the Stylus Photo 700 uses individual ink cartridges for cyan, magenta, yellow, light cyan, light magenta, and black.

Connectivity options include a parallel port for direct connection to PCs, ensuring compatibility with both Windows and Mac operating systems. The printer's control panel features intuitive buttons for easy operation, and its compact design fits neatly into limited spaces.

The Epson Stylus Photo 700 is noted for its photo-realistic output, making it ideal for amateur photographers and users who require high-quality print results.
