For professionals seeking exceptional print quality, the Epson UltraChrome 700 ml. K3 Light, Light Black Pigment Based Ink for the Stylus Pro 11880 Inkjet Printer is a game-changer. This high-quality ink is a product of Epson's revolutionary UltraChrome K3 ink technology, a milestone in the realm of inkjet printing.
Drawing inspiration from previous generations of pigmented ink technology, this Epson ink set boasts an 8-color palette, including three distinct levels of black. This unique feature, coupled with the new color pigment technology, significantly enhances both color and black & white prints, delivering archival prints with remarkable color fidelity, gloss level, and scratch resistance.
The Epson UltraChrome K3 ink is formulated with high-density pigments, enabling it to produce prints with an incredibly wide color gamut. This allows for the accurate reproduction of colors as they were initially envisioned at the point of capture. With its expanded color gamut and innovative 8-color system, no other ink set can match the lifelike quality and stunning photographic feel of the Epson UltraChrome K3.
The unique 3-level black ink technology significantly improves overall gray balance, enhancing midtone and highlight detail for a smoother tonal range. By virtually eliminating metamerism and bronzing, both black & white and color prints can be produced with the look and feel of a traditional photograph, while still benefiting from 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 - Epson UltraChrome K3 offers an innovative solution to optimize black ink density for various media types. The optional Matte Black ink significantly increases black optical density when printing on matte and fine art type papers, enabling the use of just one printer for all media types.
Epson's unique driver technology fully leverages the 3-level black ink system, allowing the production of the highest quality neutral and toned prints from a single ink set. Furthermore, Epson's proprietary screening technology, developed specifically for black & white printing, produces outstanding image quality with no color crossover or color cast.
Designed to work seamlessly with Epson's full range of professional media, Epson UltraChrome K3 inks offer improved print permanence characteristics, providing lightfastness ratings of up to 108 years for color and over 200 years for black & white under rigorous industry accepted display conditions. This makes it the ideal choice for photographers and graphic designers seeking to produce sellable black & white prints without the need for a darkroom.
