Epson UltraChrome ink is more suitable for CAD/GIS than any other ink
In terms of CAD/GIS professional output technology, the specification and performance of Epson Large Format Printer exceed all other similar products. Epson’s technology is in a leading position. Especially, the Epson Stylus Pro 9600 which features seven-color UltraChrome ink may produces fine images of CAD drawings and saturated colors in both plain paper and tracing paper. It is highly recognized and appreciated by clients and people of the same trade.

Epson Stylus Pro 9600 - meets the industrial standard
Wuhan Iron & Steel (Group) Corporation is a state-owned integrated mining group company. We, Mining Technology Management Department, are mainly responsible for mining and ore dressing work. A large number of CAD/GIS professional drawings are involved in our work. Accordingly, we need to purchase professional graphic printers to output them. For the output of construction drawings of mining areas, geographical maps and geologic maps, we place extremely demanding requirements on the color reproduction quality and printing accuracy.
Quality Outputs By Epson Stylus Pro 9600
Being a manager of Mining Technology Management Department, I have made certain investigations about many brands of printers. After adequate comparison and trial use, we introduced one Epson Stylus Pro 9600 and one PRO 7600 in this May, because only Epson printers could meet our needs in terms of the precise and high quality color printing.With the addition of light black, the sevencolor UltraChrome ink provides better color expression than six-color ink. The reproduction of colors, especially the subtle expression of colors, is pretty good. For the GIS graphics printing, the accurate reproduction quality of colors is required because it needs to explain clearly all kinds of topographical features. In terms of resolution, only Epson Stylus Pro 9600 achieves 2880dpi. It ensures the perfect reproduction of all information contained in geographical maps, such as contour lines and terrain boundaries.
In addition, Epson UltraChrome ink excels in light-fastness and water resistance. Its long-lasting color is one of the key factors to attract us. These features are convenient for our long-term field work.
Improved the work-efficiency and reduced costs
Previously when we did not use the large format printers, each project required at least three draftsmen, plus tracers in the workshop. A mining design department required more than 20 people. Now only three people can do the same job. A job that took one week or more previously now takes only one day. The workflow has been streamlined and labor costs have been reduced.
Easier communications with partners
We would invite many professional partners to make systematic evaluation for each project. The people invited are from sectors such as electricity, electro-mechanics, civil engineering and security. They are not familiar with the field of CAD/GIS. With the brilliant and clear graphic output of Epson large format printers, even a layman can understand the drawings.
We also promote technology exchanges with people of the same industry. Color graphics are more easy to understand and more convenient for our communication. They are also fascinated by Epson large format printers.
Easy operation, strong compatibility and flexibility
We are using Windows2000 computers which are connected via LAN. Epson printers are compatible with various software applications. We don’t have to do any complicated settings or adjustments. As for professional software, we generally use AutoCAD, 3Dmax and Datamine which is the best geological modeling software. Especially, I think Epson large format printers and Datamine together make the best combination for the creation of GIS graphics.
