High Productivity
Media Barcode Tracking
An in-built Media Barcode Tracking and Identifi cation System enables the Epson Stylus
Pro 11880 to record, by means of barcode printing, media type and remaining length on roll
media. Using the barcoded information, the printer automatically verifi es the media type and
remaining length when partially used rolls of media are loaded. Along with helping to reduce
media wastage, the barcode tracking system helps to eliminate costly production errors
arising from incorrect media selection.
Active Photo and Matte Black Inks
The Epson Stylus Pro 11880's active Photo and Matte Black inks support automatic
switching between the two black ink formulations without the need to remove or re-install
cartridges. This new system removes the need to fl ush ink lines when switching between
Photo and Matte Black.
Pressurised 700ml Ink Cartridges
With high-capacity pressurised 700ml ink cartridges, the Epson Stylus Pro 11880 improves
yield per cartridge, reinforcing the printer's suitability for high volume print environments.
The pressurised cartridges reduce ink wastage and provide a consistent fl ow of ink to each
of the print head's nine channels.
Permanent Print Head
A major advantage of the Epson Stylus Pro 11880 is its permanent print head which, aside
from improving the overall performance of the printer, minimises the amount of time and
effort required for maintenance. By avoiding the unnecessary cost of frequently replacing
print heads, the Epson permanent print head assists in reducing the printer's overall cost
of ownership.
360 Nozzles Per Colour
Building on the print head technology leadership established by Epson with the solid-
™
state Micro Piezo
print head, the Epson Stylus Pro 11880 features the 9-channel Epson
™
MicroPiezo TFP
(Thin Film Piezo) print head. This new, one-inch wide print head has 360
nozzles per channel (colour) – twice the nozzle count of earlier models and the ability to print
at nearly twice the speed. To improve print head reliability, the TFP print head has an ink-
repelling coating, which reduces clogging, thereby enhancing productivity.
Automatic Ink Droplet Detection System
Using precision electrical charge detection technology, the Epson Stylus Pro 11880's
Automatic Ink Droplet Detection System detects minute electrical charges on ink droplets
fi red by the MicroPiezo TFP print head. Activated each time the printer is turned on and after
predetermined periods of time, the system automatically enters head-cleaning mode if an
insuffi cient electrical charge is detected, which signifi es ink jet clogging.
