| Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Printer |
 The new Epson Stylus Photo R2880 A3+ printer is designed
for semi professional and professional photographers who demand high
quality colour and black and white photographic prints.
Taverner Research (Aust) has shown that more than 86% of Australian professional photographers have an A3/A3+ printer use Epson*. For these dedicated professionals the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 replaces the popular Epson Stylus Photo R2400 in Epson’s photographic printer range. The Epson Stylus Photo R2880 features Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink with Vivid Magenta, an eight individual ink cartridge system including cyan, light cyan, vivid magenta, light vivid magenta, yellow, light light black, light black and an interchangeable matte black and photo black. Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink with Vivid Magenta builds upon the success of Epson UltraChrome K3 by expanding the colour gamut for highly accurate colour reproduction with more vivid blues and purples and smoother tonal gradation in photographs and fine art prints. Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink with Vivid Magenta reproduces high print quality with excellent short and long term colour stability, and virtually no metameric effects. The three shades of black eliminate colour twists and casts and offer a richer range of tonal expression for black and white photographic reproduction and superior neutral grey tones, creating professional quality photographic prints. The inclusion of light light black and light black also allows for exceptionally smooth gradation and incredibly detailed shadows and highlights. And a high D-max insures blacker blacks are achieved, particularly on glossy media. Like all of Epson's resin coated pigments inks Epson UltraChrome K3 with Vivid Magenta boasts exceptional lightfastness, water and smudge resistance. When this ink was tested using the Epson 880 series printers by Wilhem Imaging Research the world's leading independent authority on print permanence, print life is up to 108 years in colour and more than 200 years in black and white (tests using the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 are in progress)^. A new advanced Micro Piezo print head optimised for Epson UltraChrome K3 ink with Vivid Magenta gives a one inch wide coverage with each pass allowing the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 to print quickly while delivering superior image quality. In addition Epson printers have Variable Sized Droplet Technology which varies the size of the ink droplets while maintaining highly accurate placement. The largest ink droplets are used for areas of solid colour which helps increase print speeds while for print areas where there are subtle tonal gradations and fine detail the technology accurately delivers ink droplets as small as 3 picolitres. The complex algorithms in Look Up Table (LUT) technology determine the best combination of inks to ensure superior inkjet colour reproduction and tonal gradation. Epson’s new LUT technology further optimises colour gradation, minimises grain and ensures image constancy so that prints look the same under various types of light (reduced metamerism). The Epson Stylus Photo R2880 supports a wide selection of A3+ media up to 1.3mm thick including glossy, matte and fine art papers. In addition it offers roll paper support which provides photographers with the ability to produce stunning, border free panoramic prints. The Epson Stylus Photo R2880 prints directly to CDs and DVDs for complete customisation of customer orders and backup and storage disks. The Epson Stylus Photo R2880 has dual USB ports for connection to two PCs or Macs without the typical disconnect/reconnect hassle that is par for the course with a single USB port printer. The Epson Stylus Photo R2880 joins Epson’s other A3+ printers including the Epson Stylus Photo R1900 which features Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 ink for superior colour photographs and the Epson Stylus Photo 1410 which features Claria Photographic ink for ultra high definition dye prints for the advanced amateur, offering a choice of printers to meet every photographer’s printing need. The RRP of the Epson Stylus R2880 is $1499 including GST and it is available for purchase at consumer electronics retailers, computer superstores, office superstores and selected photo specialty stores. * Taverner Research (Aust) August 2007 ^ Wilhelm Imaging Research |
