Epson Stylus Pro 7880 Brochure & Specs page 4

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 new 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 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 fidelity, gloss level,
and scratch resistance, while providing consistently stable colors that
significantly outperform lesser ink technologies. Imagine producing

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.
Automatic Print Head Alignment Technology
Built-in sensor reads printed data for highly precise alignment of all
color channels
Aligns both single and bi-directional print modes
Automatic Nozzle Check Technology
Built-in sensor reads nozzle check pattern and automatically cleans
print head if required – even partially clogged nozzles
