In a class by itself. Much of the advanced technology found on Epson professional printers has been integrated into the Epson Stylus Photo R3000, making it the first 13-inch wide printer with this level of built-in features. Three paths to consistent feeding. Advanced Media Handling The Epson Stylus Photo R3000 is the first 13-inch printer with Advanced Media Handling. It combines three paths to give you the most wide-ranging media support ever in a photo printer. The new front media path is front-in, front-out and enables consistent, reliable feeding of fine art papers, canvas, thick media, CD/DVDs and Epson professional quality photographic papers. Additionally, the roll paper capability enables you to produce panoramas up to 44 inches long, while the auto sheet feeder holds up to 30 sheets of photographic paper. And, whichever mode is utilized, this new technology prevents scuffing and virtually eliminates misfeeds due to paper skew. Printing technology that sets the standard. For over a decade, Epson has been the standard by which all other photographic printing technologies are measured. And with the Epson Stylus Photo R3000, the excellence continues, with an impressive list of professional level features that deliver the ultimate in quality, reliability and ease of use. 8-Channel MicroPiezo AMC Print Head with Ink-Repelling Coating At the core of the Epson Stylus Photo R3000 is the Epson 8-channel MicroPiezo AMC print head. One inch wide, it delivers a maximum resolution of 5760 x 1440 optimized dpi and produces variable-sized ink droplets as small as 2 picoliters to optimize photographic quality and increase print speeds. Simultaneously, Epson's Active Meniscus Control (AMC) technology precisely controls the curvature of every ink droplet within each nozzle before releasing it. Another unique advantage is an ink-repelling coating which helps prevent ink build-up around the nozzles, resulting in precise dot placement and reduced maintenance. AccuPhoto HD2 Image Technology Working closely with Rochester Institute of Technology's Munsell Color Science Laboratory, Epson has developed AccuPhoto HD2, which combines a complex mathematical architecture with an advanced screening technology that produces previously unattainable image quality. Engineered to ensure precision placement of each individual ink droplet, it results in smooth, grain-free images. Choosing from an extraordinary number of possible ink combinations for each color, it optimizes ink use to maximize the color gamut and provide smooth transitions and gradations. And quality stays true, regardless of print mode. PreciseColor™ Technology To ensure the highest level of consistency, every Epson Stylus Photo R3000 meets the standards of Epson's PreciseColor manufacturing. This rigorous process applies colorimetric calibration to ensure that each printer produces prints that are virtually indistinguishable from one another. © 2011 Bruce Dale Epson Professional Media Advanced Media Handling allows the Epson Stylus Photo R3000 to smoothly feed virtually any type of cut-sheet photographic or fine art media such as EPSON® Signature Worthy® papers, including roll paper and canvas.
