Epson has launched three new large format, eight-colour professional production printers. They are the 17" (A2+) Epson Stylus Pro 4880, 24" (A1+) Stylus Pro 7880 and 44" (B0+) Stylus Pro 9880.
Each features Epson UltraChrome K3 ink with Vivid Magenta technology, the latest development in pigment chemistry, which offers a wide colour gamut and unrivalled image quality from an 8-colour inkset.
Epson's new large format range provides the highest quality output that is required for the fine art, photography and proofing markets. A new Ethernet interface is included as standard and delivers fast, efficient connectivity and data transfer speeds. The improved printhead further enhances image quality and when combined with Epson's Super Halftone Technology, a new screening algorithm, it delivers sharp detail and accurate colour reproduction.
The Epson large format printer range offers superior media flexibility and is compatible with a wide range of Epson paper up to 1.5mm in thickness. Glossy paper, matte paper, matte board, fine art paper and plain paper are all supported. The Epson Stylus Pro 4880, 7880 and Stylus Pro 9880 include a roll holder and cut sheet support, as standard. The Epson Stylus Pro 4880 also features a paper cassette feed mechanism for high-volume production on cut sheet paper from A4 (Letter) to 17" (A2+) wide. Also new is an enhanced cutting sequence delivering a faster and more productive printing workflow.
