Epson PRO 4880 Transforming Talent Into Imagery, Latest Generation Print Head Technology

The ideas from thousands of Creative Professionals are built into every Epson Stylus Pro printer. As a result, the Epson Stylus Pro 4000 Series has become the standard within the world’s greatest design studios, photographic labs, and commercial print shops. And, the tradition continues.

Introducing the new Epson Stylus Pro 4880.

Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professionals, the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 incorporates a unique, 17-inch wide printer design with a breakthrough, new ink technology, forcing the industry to reconsider what’s possible from photographic ink jet printing.

Epson UltraChrome K3™ is the standard by which all other professional- level ink technologies are judged. Now enhanced with our breakthrough new Vivid Magenta pigments, our newest-generation ink technology requires only eight colors, including a three-level black technology, to significantly raise the quality levels for professional color and black-and- white prints.

Imagine producing archival prints with amazing color accuracy, gloss level, and scratch resistance, while providing consistently stable colors that significantly outperform lesser ink technologies. Imagine producing

professional neutral and toned black-and-white prints with even higher

density levels, with virtually no metamerism or bronzing.

With an even higher level of ink droplet accuracy, we’ve developed an

all-new MicroPiezo® AMC™ print head, along with an all-new ink repelling

coating technology to dramatically reduce nozzle clogging. And, when

combined with our new Epson AccuPhoto™ HD screening technology,

at an astonishing resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi, Epson has once again

raised the level of image quality – even exceeding our previous best.

Handling virtually any media type in roll or cut-sheet, up to 17-inch wide,

the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 incorporates a high-capacity paper tray

capable of handling cut-sheet media up to 17"x 22". We even

incorporated four different ways to load media, including a front-loading

straight-through path capable of handling media up to 1.5 mm thick,

giving you the ultimate in media flexibility.

The Epson Stylus Pro 4880 represents a level of technology unprecedented

in Epson’s history. By combining the extreme precision of an Epson

Stylus Pro print engine, along with the extraordinary performance of Epson

UltraChrome K3 ink technology, Epson is once again transforming talent

into imagery.

Variable-sized Droplet with AMC Technology

￿Produces variable-sized droplets as small as 3.5 picoliters to greatly decrease print times while optimizing photographic quality

￿Enhanced Active Meniscus Control (AMC) technology precisely controls the curvature of every ink droplet within each nozzle before releasing it onto the media. The result is extremely sharp and accurate placement of ink droplets for outstanding photographic print quality.

Epson PreciseColor™ Manufacturing

In order to ensure consistent printing between multiple Stylus Pro printers of the same model, Epson has enhanced the manufacturing process to include colorimetric calibration. Eliminating the need for internal calibration devices, this system evaluates and adjusts each printer’s performance at the manufacturing stage, producing consistent color output from printer to printer.
