Epson PreciseColor™ Technology

In order to ensure consistent printing between multiple Stylus Pro printers of the same model, Epson has enhanced the production process to include colorimetric calibration. This system evaluates and adjusts each printer’s difference at the manufacturing stage, assuring you of consistent color output from printer to printer.

Automatic Print Head Alignment Technology

Built-in sensor reads printed data for highly precise alignments of all color channels
Aligns both single and bi-directional print modes.

Automatic Print Head Cleaning Technology

Professional print permanence ratings for truly sellable quality prints > High-gloss Microcrystal Encapsulation™ Technology for reduced gloss differential
Superior scratch resistance from improved pigment and resin chemistry
Color is stable immediately after printing – no short-term color shifting
Depending upon media – produces a black density up to 2.3 with an L* value of 4.1*
*Data based on Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper (250)

New Three-Level Black Ink Technology

Simultaneously uses Black, Light Black, and Light Light Black inks
Significantly improves the printer’s gray balance while eliminating color casts

Two User-Exchangeable Black Ink Modes

Printer can utilize two different black ink modes – Photo Black or Matte Black. This innovative solution optimizes the black ink density for various media types, dramatically improving the final print quality.

The standard Photo Black ink mode can be used for any media type with professional results. However, for certain Epson media types such as Velvet Fine Art, Enhanced Matte, and UltraSmooth Fine Art, using the optional Matte Black ink mode instead, will dramatically increase your black optical density for even better print quality.
