The D701 can produce high quality prints in sizes up to 254 x 914mm (10 x 36 inches), with excellent lightfastness and glossiness that is sure to please even die-hard silver halide print 1) fans.

Main Features of D 701 Intjet Printer
1.	Friendly to the environment
The D701 does not use any chemicals, nor does it produce any waste solution. The absence of chemicals makes it not only environment-friendly but also user-friendly, as it can be installed almost anywhere and is easy to provide maintenance for.
2.	Newly developed inkjet system - 4 colors, 6 gradations per dot *
This new dry printer employs a 4 color dye ink system with 6 gradations per dot to produce vivid colors, and it also uses a new technology that adjusts the size of the dots when they are ejected onto the paper. This enables the individual dots to be output in 5 different sizes, which allows for a range of 6 gradations per dot including the no dot (white) variation. The result is high quality prints with fine gradations.
Inkjet technology was provided by Seiko Epson Corporation.
3.	Long lasting colors
Prints made with conventional dye ink tend to fade quickly, but the new ink used in the D701 has an improved molecular structure so it is able to withstand light and ozone, thus producing prints that boast excellent image permanence.
4.	Compact design
The footprint of the D701 is a mere 0.43 square meters (including the RIP PC). The RIP PC can also be separated from the printer, in which case the footprint of the printer is only 0.35 square meters.
