Sleek, compact printer; superior, wide-format prints

printer generates exhibition quality prints, worthy of gallery display, up to
17” x 22” — an innovation made possible by Epson’s expertise in
microminiaturization and professional printing technology.
AccuPhoto HD2 technology
Created from a collaboration between
Epson and the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Munsell Color Science
Laboratory, AccuPhoto HD2 combines a complex mathematical architecture and
advanced screening technology to provide outstanding image quality. AccuPhoto
HD2 is specifically engineered to ensure precision placement of each individual
ink droplet, resulting in smooth, grain-free images. Choosing from an
extraordinary number of possible ink combinations for each color, this
technology optimizes ink usage to maximize the color gamut and provide smooth
color transitions and gradations. Reduction of the metameric index makes it
possible to achieve consistent color under different lighting conditions. And,
it ensures truly photographic prints, even in high-speed or lower resolution
print modes.
Advanced MicroPiezo print head with AMC
Our advanced MicroPiezo
print head with AMC (Advanced Meniscus Control) is at the core of Epson’s
advanced ink jet technology, enabling the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 to deliver
incredible detail. This permanent, high-performance print head creates
variable-sized droplets as small as 3.5 picoliters and places them with
remarkable accuracy and precision. This professional print head also
incorporates an ink-repelling coating which decreases maintenance and increases
reliability. Working together with Epson PreciseColorTM technology, the print
head delivers consistent print quality every time from every Epson Stylus Pro
3880.
Advanced Black-and-White Photo Mode
Part of an advanced workflow,
this exclusive technology is your key to intuitive and consistent control, for
stunning neutral or toned black-and-white prints. Choose from one of four
present menus — neutral, warm, cool or sepia. Or, fine tune your image further
with custom slider bars and the color tone wheel that gives you precise control.
Customized settings can be saved and recalled to achieve consistent prints every
time.
Epson Pro series printers, ink and media — the ultimate in clarity and
color
Epson Pro series printers, ink and media work together seamlessly
to produce prints of unsurpassed quality and impact. Epson offers a wide array

Optional ColorBurst® RIP
The Epson Stylus Pro 3880
Graphic Arts Edition includes a PANTONE®-licensed ColorBurst Raster Image
Processor and easy-to-use print manager interface. This combination delivers
reliable color accuracy, while giving you more control over your workflow with
raster or vector files. You can print directly from any software application or
drag-and-drop into a hot folder for effortless printing across networks
(workgroups). The built-in PANTONE colors include coated and uncoated libraries
for versatile spot-color matching. Integrated ICC profiles for RGB, CMYK and
grayscale images, and ink-limiting technology with CMYK curve adjustments,
ensure complete color control. And, thanks to in-printer linearization
technology, this model produces consistently accurate colors across multiple
printers. The RIP is also SWOP® certified for the Epson Standard Proofing Paper
(240), when using the supplied SWOP printing environment.
