Overview 

An Evolution Continues

Epson is never fully satisfied with the printing technology we introduce. We never stop thinking. We never stop experimenting. And after we've finally developed the best printing technology possible, we pushed ourselves to make it even better.

Introducing the Epson Stylus Pro 7880 and Epson Stylus Pro 9880

A true evolution of our past-generation of photographic printing technology, our latest 24-inch (Epson Stylus Pro 7880) and 44-inch (Epson Stylus Pro 9880) professional wide-format printers incorporate forward-thinking designs, with a newly enhanced 8-color ink technology, resulting in a final print of uncompromising quality.

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 current 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 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 even higher density levels, along with virtually no metamerism or bronzing.

With an even higher level of ink droplet accuracy, we'e developed a new MicroPiezo AMC print head, along with a 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.

Capable of handling virtually any media type, in roll or cut-sheet, up to 24-inch or 44-inch wide, Epson sets the standard for professional media use. Whether you're producing sellable color or black-and-white photography, fine art reproduction, or producing color accurate proofs for client approvals, never before have Creative Professionals had such a powerful tool, allowing them to produce their vision without compromise.

Our current generation of wide-format printers continue to represent a level of technology unprecedented in Epson's history. Combining the extreme precision of an Epson Stylus Pro print engine, along with the extraordinary performance of our latest Epson UltraChrome K3 ink technology, Epson continues to redefine the future of wide-format printing.
