Micro Piezo™ Technology

New digital technology gives you greater control over the printing of your own photographs. So you’ll find choosing your printing technology is now as important as choosing your camera.

The most significant difference between print technologies is the print head, as this is the most vital component of the machine. So when choosing your model, it is important to take account of the type of head it uses.

Better control – richer colour

Epson uses unique Micro Piezo™ print heads that use original technologies to fire precise, tiny and perfectly formed ink droplets. This allows precise control of the different ink droplet sizes – and helps to ensure you get a better print quality.

Most non-Epson printers use print heads that use heat to make bubbles in the ink that propel it onto the page. This heat can be hard on the print head, which means that the ink head may need to be changed regularly. Micro Piezo™ print heads last for the life of the printer, and so are an eco-friendly choice.
