Be part of a revolutionary change in inkjet printing with the UltraChrome 700 ml. K3 Matte Black Pigment Based Ink for the Stylus Pro 11880 Inkjet Printer by Epson. This high-quality ink technology is a milestone in the evolution of inkjet printing, drawing inspiration from previous generations of pigmented ink technology.
Epson's 8-color ink set, including the UltraChrome K3 Matte Black, integrates three distinct levels of black, coupled with a new color pigment technology. This combination dramatically enhances both color and black & white prints, producing archival prints with exceptional color fidelity, gloss level, and scratch resistance.
The UltraChrome K3 ink, with its high-density pigments, delivers prints with an extraordinarily wide color gamut. This allows the reproduction of colors as they were originally envisioned at the point of capture. Thanks to its expanded color gamut and breakthrough 8-color system, no other ink set can replicate the three-dimensional lifelike quality and stunning photographic feel of the Epson UltraChrome K3.
This reliable ink technology significantly improves overall gray balance while enhancing midtone and highlight detail, yielding a smoother tonal range. It virtually eliminates metamerism and bronzing, enabling the production of both black & white and color prints with the look and feel of a traditional photograph, while leveraging all the advantages of a digital workflow.
The Epson UltraChrome K3 ink incorporates High-gloss Microcrystal Encapsulation Technology, unique screening algorithms, and Light Light Black ink, significantly reducing gloss differential. This ensures there's no compromise for professionals requiring glossy prints with excellent longevity and durability.
With two distinct black ink modes - Photo Black and Matte Black - the UltraChrome K3 offers an innovative solution to optimize black ink density for various media types. The optional Matte Black ink significantly enhances black optical density when printing on matte and fine art type papers, making this ink a versatile choice for all media types.
Epson's unique driver technology fully leverages the 3-level black ink system, enabling the production of the highest quality neutral and toned prints from a single ink set. Furthermore, proprietary Epson screening technology, developed specifically for black & white printing, delivers outstanding image quality with no color crossover or color cast.
For the first time, photographers can produce sellable black & white prints without the need for a darkroom. Unrestricted by media choices to meet professional longevity requirements, the Epson UltraChrome K3 inks are designed to work seamlessly with Epson's full range of professional media. With improved print permanence characteristics, the Epson UltraChrome K3 ink provides lightfastness ratings of up to 108 years for color and over 200 years for black & white under rigorous industry-accepted display conditions.
