STUNNING 6-COLOR MEMORIES THAT WON'T FADE AWAY.

Here today. Here tomorrow. Print your photos with the EPSON Stylus Photo 870 ink jet printer and they'll be beautiful and fade-resistant for years to come-as long lasting, in fact, as traditional color photo lab prints.* We're talking about bright and colorful pictures boasting 1440 x 720 dots per inch of Photo Quality. Shots so stunning you'll definitely want them to last.

The EPSON Stylus Photo 870 lets you print the world's first continuous edge-to-edge snapshots using the printer's EPSON Digital PhotoLab™ Starter Kit. The kit includes a roll paper holder, EPSON Premium Glossy Photo Roll Paper and helpful photo software like EPSON Software™ Film Factory™ and Adobe® PhotoDeluxe®.

Imagine the wonderful snapshots, personal photo greeting cards and bigger-than-life panoramics you'll be able to print out. The EPSON Stylus Photo 870 gives you real photo lab quality by bringing together advanced Micro Piezo™ technology, smooth AcuPhoto Halftoning™ and superior, 6-color quick drying Photo Inks. Laser sharp, black text printing makes this printer versatile as well.

The printer's ink droplets, so tiny at a mere 4 picoliters, vary in size to give your photos finer shadow detail and dazzling highlights across a range of tonal colors that's twice that of any other ink jet printer.

You can connect the EPSON Stylus Photo 870 to a Macintosh computer using its built-in USB port, or to a Windows PC using the USB port or standard parallel port. In addition, you can share the printer on an Ethernet Network using the Axis 1440 print server (available as an option through Epson Accessories), specially designed for Epson printers.

Whether you're a Windows® or Macintosh® user, you can print, edit, re-size and share stunning photos for years to come with your EPSON Stylus Photo 870 ink jet printer.
