Epson UltraChrome 220 ml. K3 Cyan Pigment Based Ink for the Stylus Pro 4880 Series Inkjet Printers

Because Epson's UltraChrome K3 ink technology represents a milestone in the evolution of inkjet printing, the UltraChrome 220 ml. K3 Cyan Pigment Based Ink for the Stylus Pro 4880 Series Inkjet Printers is a testament to this innovation. Drawing from the rich legacy of pigmented ink technology, Epson's 8-color ink set, including this cyan pigment-based ink, integrates three distinct levels of black. This, coupled with the cutting-edge color pigment technology, significantly enhances the quality of both color and black & white prints.

Imagine creating archival prints with exceptional color fidelity, gloss level, and scratch resistance, all while ensuring color stability from the moment the prints exit the printer. The high-density pigments in Epson's UltraChrome K3 cyan ink produce prints with an extraordinarily wide color gamut. This allows for the reproduction of colors as they were originally envisioned at the point of capture.

With its expanded color gamut and revolutionary 8-color system, no other ink set can replicate the 3-dimensional lifelike quality and stunning photographic feel of Epson's UltraChrome K3. The unique 3-level black ink technology significantly improves overall gray balance while enhancing midtone and highlight detail, yielding a smoother tonal range. This 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 benefits of a digital workflow.

Epson's UltraChrome K3 ink incorporates High-gloss Microcrystal Encapsulation Technology, unique screening algorithms, and Light Light Black ink that significantly reduces gloss differential. This means professionals no longer need to compromise on glossy prints that require excellent longevity and durability.

With two distinct black ink modes - Photo Black and Matte Black - Epson's 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. This innovative solution enables 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. Additionally, Epson's proprietary screening technology, specifically developed 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.

Designed to work as a system with Epson's full range of professional media, Epson UltraChrome K3 inks, including the UltraChrome 220 ml. K3 Cyan Pigment Based Ink for the Stylus Pro 4880 Series Inkjet Printers, offer improved print permanence characteristics. This provides lightfastness ratings of up to 108 years for color and over 200 years for black & white under rigorous industry-accepted display conditions*.
