The ABCDEF's of Ultra High Definition Prints—Claria Hi-Definition Ink (continued)
2. Great output quality: Claria ink offers these quality advantages:
High color saturation and brilliance
Claria ink delivers a wide color gamut because
ink is absorbed into the surface coating of Epson
photo papers, allowing light to reflect evenly
off the surface. This results in the best quality
photographic prints.
Even light reflection
Smooth gradations
The six-color ink set including Light Magenta and
Light Cyan inks allows tonal gradations critical for
photography.

3. Convenience: Claria ink is designed for the photo enthusiast who wants to print incredible photos, yet also
wants the flexibility to produce everyday documents.
Claria ink offers convenience to this customer with:
• Convenient individual ink cartridges*—With individual ink
cartridges, customers take control of ink usage, replacing only
the color that's needed.
• New, easier to identify packaging—Cartridges are now
numbered, so all a customer needs to remember is the ink
number.
• High-capacity cartridges available—The high-capacity "77"
cartridges don't need to be replaced as often.
* Cartridge yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use and temperature. For print
quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the "replace cartridge" indicator comes on. See www.epson.com/
cartridgeinfo for more information about cartridges.

Precise color and shadow detail
A high-density black ink optimized for photography
delivers:
• Rich, deep blacks
in photos and
text
• Superior contrast
in printed photos
• Incredible
shadow detail
• More vivid colors
• Superior
highlight and
shadow detail
Some competitive printers don't use true black
ink in photos and instead use composite black
(combining three color inks to produce black). This
results in bluish/brownish blacks and images with
lower contrast.
The high-density black ink is ideal for photos, yet
Cyan
also produces rich, dark text and graphics, making
it suitable for everyday printing, too.
