Targetted at photographers, fine art printers and professional proofers, these two large format printers use Epson’s newly developed Pro12 inkset with K3 technology which reduced graininess and advanced black & white outout. The standard colours of cyan, magenta and yellow, the inkset includes green, orange and violet and matt and photo black can be used simultaneously. Deeper blacks are possible through an enhancement overcoating technology for even more dramatic results.

In addition to the 12-colour inkset the printers use advanced PrecisionCore Micro TFP printer heads that use up to 800 nozzles for each colour and give perfectly round and consistent ink droplets at a 300dpi resolution.

With this is mind, I believe that we’ve achieved something special that offers greater creative freedom and new potential business opportunities to our users.” He added, “To be able to offer 12-colour photo printers is a genuine first for us at Epson.
