Epson announced in
The eight-colour ink set features a new formulation of UltraChrome K3 with Vivid Magenta, widening the colour gamut and further strengthening Epson’s ink as the choice of professionals.
The Stylus Pro 11880 is designed to be productive, with each cartridge containing a high capacity of 700ml. The new Gigabit Ethernet delivers fast processing speeds, while the Super Halftone technology further improves image tone and definition, making it the most advanced digital large format printer on the market.
The new MicroPiezo TFP print head fulfils all the requirements of a professional printer – quality, durability and speed. The nozzle density has increased from 180 to 360 dpi, the world’s highest for an inkjet print head using piezoelectric technology.
Epson has doubled the number of nozzles on the print head, while maintaining the same size of ink droplet and accelerated print speeds. Despite the microscopic size of its elements, this next-generation Micro Piezo head retains all the advantages of the current print head, including Variable-sized Droplet Technology. Meniscus control helps to produce perfectly spherical dots and manages the degree of droplet impact, and it also improves the speed of jetting to further enhance the print speed.
The full ink set includes nine ink cartridges: photo black, matte black, light black, light light black, cyan, light cyan, yellow, vivid magenta and vivid light magenta. The two magenta inks use new high-density pigments that create more vibrant blues and purples, for example those found in seascapes or landscapes. Both photo black and matte black cartridges are installed at the same time – there is no need to exchange – and the most suitable black ink is automatically chosen depending on the media type used.
The Stylus Pro 11880 is compatible with a wide range of Epson media up to 1.5mm in thickness, including glossy paper, matte paper, matte board, fine art paper and plain paper. It features an automatic take-up reel to support heavy-duty production for improved usability and it will also support flexible paper handling for cut sheet printing from A3 up to 64â€.
Epson is also launching www.myEpsonprinter.eu, the new online portal that allows Epson Stylus Pro owners to retrieve up-to-the-minute technical information and monitor the performance of each printer.
