Epson UltraChrome K3™ ink technology represents a
turning-point in the history of ink jet printing. Inspired by our
past-generations of pigmented ink development, Epson UltraChrome K3
incorporates a new three-level black, along with eight new color
pigments dramatically raising the bar for professional color and black
and white prints.
Imagine producing archival prints with amazing color fidelity,
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 higher density levels and virtually no metamerism or bronzing.
Even more remarkable, our new high-performance 1-inch wide print
head produces an astonishing resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi to deliver a
level of image quality and speed that even exceeds our previous best.
Handling virtually any media type in roll or cut-sheet up to 17-inch
wide, the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 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
1.5mm posterboard, giving you the ultimate in media flexibility.
The Epson Stylus Pro 4800 represents a level of technology
unprecedented in Epson's history. Combining the extreme precision of a
Stylus Pro print engine, along with the extraordinary performance of
UltraChrome K3 Ink Technology, results in a print void of any signs of
how it was produced. Prepare to be amazed all over again.
