Your EPSON Stylus®Photo 1200 printer is the ideal large format output

device for digital photographs, graphics, layout proofs, and more. With

resolutions up to 1440 by 720 dpi (dots per inch), six ink colors, and

EPSON’s award-winning Micro Piezo™technology, you get amazingly

realistic photographic images, vivid graphics, and razor-sharp black text.

The printer software for Microsoft®Windows®and Apple®Macintosh®

provides advanced color management with adjustable brightness,

contrast, and other settings. For even more precise color matching, use

ColorSync™2.x or one of two Windows color management systems.

EPSON’s specially formulated ink cartridges and wide variety of ink jet

papers offer the most flexibility for getting the results you want. With

built-in parallel, serial, and high-speed USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports,

setting up your printer is fast and easy.
