\nMore about the EPSON Stylus Photo R1900
\n\u2022\tNew Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 Ink – Achieves an optimal level of gloss and color vibrancy in a pigment ink system using eight colors \u2013 including new red and orange inks \u2013 plus an enhanced Gloss Optimizer. The red and orange inks have replaced the red and blue inks found in the Epson R1800 resulting in improved color gamut and facial tones. This next generation pigment ink set produces quick-drying, archival results that can last up to 200 years under glass.1 Auto-switching photo and matte black cartridges ensure the deepest blacks on any media type.
\n\u2022\tNew Radiance Technology \u2013 The breakthrough mathematical architecture on the Epson R1900 was co-developed by color scientists at Epson and the Rochester Institute of Technology (R.I.T) to take advantage of the wider color gamuts possible with today\u2019s advanced ink sets. The technology is built into the printer software and optimizes how the individual UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 inks are mixed while simultaneously providing a high level of print quality. This technology reduces grain and dramatically improves color transitions.
\n\u2022\tFaster Print Speeds \u2013 Creates prints up to 35 percent faster than the Epson R1800, particularly at higher resolutions, boosting productivity for final layouts and sellable photographic images. Produces breathtaking 11\u201d x 14\u201d prints as fast as 1 minute, 46 seconds.2
\n\u2022\tSuperior Media Flexibility \u2013 Offers the same media versatility as the Epson R1800 with the ability to print on glossy, luster and matte medias as well as thicker fine art media, roll papers, canvas and directly onto inkjet printable CD\/DVDs.
\n\u2022\tEnhanced Connectivity \u2013 Allows two computers to simultaneously connect to the R1900 via two hi-speed USB 2.0 ports for seamless printing from either computer.
\n\u2022\tEpson PreciseColor\u2122 Manufacturing \u2013 Applies colorimetric calibration to the permanent MicroPiezo\u00ae print head at the factory through an enhanced manufacturing process, eliminating the need for internal calibration devices or constant calibration.
\n\u2022\tExceptional Reliability \u2013 Features a new ink-repelling coating on the print head that prolongs the life of the Epson R1900 and decreases maintenance time. A built-in sensor also allows for automatic print head alignment and nozzle checking.
