#Epson 3880 printer reviews pro#

This is one of the few 17вЂќ printers that you can easily set up by yourself. The print head has been improved as well with more accurate placement and an ink-repellent coating to reduce clogging and maintenance requirements.ДЇrom the outside, the only change youвЂ™ll see is a new badge with the name and Vivid Magenta designations. Combined with the new ink, Epson has added AccuPhoto HD2 screening to improve the accuracy of ink placement on the page, giving the images a smoother color and tonal gradation as well as reducing ink use. ItвЂ™s behind the scenes where the real changes are occurring though. In fact, even opening up the ink compartments youвЂ™ll see only a вЂњvividвЂќ label on the magenta cartridges to tell you this is a different printer. Other than the UltraChrome K3 label adding the Vivid Magenta (#1), the printers look visually identical.

The other change is more recent, and so far seen in only two printers-the 79-with UltraChrome HDR, adding green and orange to the mix.Д«ecause the HDR ink set has been out for a while now, I expected new printers from Epson to adopt this version, so I was surprised when Epson notified me of the Stylus Pro 3880 using the K3 ink set.ДЇrom the outside, you wonвЂ™t notice a difference between the 3880 and the 3800 that it replaces. The first is the second generation of UltraChrome K3, which replaced the original magenta and light magenta inks with a vivid formulation to improve the color gamut in the blues and purples. Since the introduction of the 3800, Epson has made two major changes in their pigment-ink photo printers.
