This edition of the Epson 4880 includes Colorburst LE RIP to achieve superior color corrections using ICC profiles.

Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professionals, the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 incorporates a unique, 17" wide design, a new 8-channel printhead and an ink breakthrough in introducing vivid magenta pigments into their already famous UltraChrome K3 inks. The printer requires only eight colors, including a three-level black technology, to significantly raise the quality levels. It is one of the fastest professional desktop printers in the industry today.

The Pro 4880 will print with remarkable color accuracy, gloss level, and scratch resistance, while providing consistently stable colors that significantly outperform lesser ink technologies. It boasts an improved level of ink droplet accuracy, the new MicroPiezo AMC print head and ink coating to reduce nozzle clogging and improved (AccuPhoto) HD screening.

Handling virtually any media type in roll or cut-sheet, up to 17-inch wide, the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 includes a high-capacity paper tray capable of handling cut-sheet media up to 17"x 22" and has four different ways to load media, including a front-loading straight-through path capable of handling media up to 1.5 mm thick, giving you the ultimate in media flexibility.
