Wide Colour Gamut
Epson UltraChrome
K3 Ink
™
with Vivid Magenta
In building on the enormous advances made with Epson UltraChrome K3
Ink, Epson scientists developed two new inks – Vivid Magenta and Vivid
Light Magenta – which utilise a new high-density form of magenta
pigment inks.
With the introduction of the two new inks to the Epson UltraChrome K3 ink
™
family, the Epson Stylus
Pro 11880 utilises an eight-colour ink set, giving
it the ability to generate prints using a signifi cantly expanded colour gamut
that has advantages over conventional 12 colour ink sets.

Absolute Colour Consistency
To achieve absolute colour consistency between printers, each
Epson Stylus Pro 11880 is colorimetric calibrated using high precision
spectrophotometers. In using spectrophotometers, each individual printer is
measured against a predetermined value and, where necessary, the printer
is re-calibrated to ensure consistency with each colour. As a result, colour
proofs, photographic prints and fi ne-art prints from different printers of the
same model remain totally consistent.
Excellent Short and Long Term Colour Stability
When Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink with Vivid Magenta is fi red onto the media
™
by the MicroPiezo TFP
substrate and as a result, colours become resistant to change and stabilise
quickly. Using genuine Epson media, the new ink delivers prints with:
• Stable colour in just 30 minutes
• Lightfastness ratings of up to 75 years* for colour
and up to 200 years* for black-and-white prints
• Excellent water resistance
• Improved scratch resistance
Three Level Black Ink Technology
Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink with Vivid Magenta 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
Pro 11880 black-and-white prints:
• Smooth tonal gradation with no colour twist
• Rich shadow and highlight detail
• High, black D-max with glossy media
• Unrivalled neutral grey tones
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.
