Epson UltraChrome
®
HDR Ink Technology
Underpinning the Epson Stylus
series ability to deliver the highest quality
images on a wide variety of media is
the dramatically extended colour gamut
achieved by means of the newly
developed 10-colour Epson UltraChrome
HDR Ink Technology.
This feature extends
by expanding the gamut to accurately
reproduce more spot colours than ever
before. When used in conjunction with a
third-party RIP, more spot and PANTONE
colours are covered when compared to
a typical 8-colour ink set. Professional
photographers and producers of
will also appreciate the expanded colour
gamut, which gives greater colour control
when editing high dynamic range images.
In building on the advances introduced with
the Epson UltraChrome K3
Magenta, Epson has engineered the
UtraChrome HDR (High Dynamic Range)
®
pigment ink technology. While still retaining
its predecessor's key features, such as
three-level black ink for superb grey balance,
and smooth tonal gradation from shadow to
highlight, UltraChrome
®
several new important innovations that
contribute to dramatically enhanced print
and colour quality.
98% Pantone® Coverage
Epson UltraChrome® HDR Ink breaks new ground
by achieving 98% coverage (1,301 colours) of the
Pantone+ formula guide solid coated colours.
This extra wide gamut ensures vivid colour
rendering and more precise colour matching.
* 98% coverage of PANTONE+ FORMULA GUIDE solid
coated palette based on Epson Proofing Paper White
Semimatte printed with Epson printer driver at
2880x1440dpi. PANTONE coverage may vary when
printed with a third-party RIP.

Three-Level Black Ink Technology
®
Epson UltraChrome HDR Ink eliminates the colour twist and short tonal gradation problems traditionally faced by black-and-white
photographers using digital printers, delivering black-and-white prints that rival those created with silver-halide processes. A three-level
black ink technology – Black, Light Black and Light Light Black – gives Epson Stylus
• Smooth tonal gradation with no colour twist
• High, black D-max with glossy media
The use of three black inks also allows for a more stable and accurate grey balance, which provides professional users with more
accurate colour control due to the smaller quantity of colour inks used.
