Welcome to the future of print head technology 8-channel print head with Auto-sharing Black Ink technology Innovative, new print head design allows for all nine inks to be installed simultaneously Without any user intervention, the printer automatically switches between Photo and Matte Black ink while utilizing the same physical ink channel New, ultramodern photographic screening technology Highly precise screening technology uses a radical new algorithm for determining dot placement, resulting in an extreme level of photographic image quality Produces extremely fine, photographic prints, even in bi-directional and lower resolution print modes Compensates for various ink densities between resolutions - allowing for a single ICC profile to be used per media type Advanced MicroPiezo® AMC™ print head technology One-inch wide, high performance print head offers a maximum resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi Produces variable-sized droplets as small as 3.5 picoliters to greatly decrease print times, while optimizing photographic quality Proprietary Active Meniscus Control (AMC) technology precisely controls the curvature of every ink droplet within each nozzle before releasing it onto the media Extremely sharp and accurate placement of ink droplets consistently delivers outstanding photographic print quality from print to print Automatic print head alignment and cleaning technology Built-in sensor reads printed data for highly precise alignment of all color channels both bi-directional and uni-directional Built-in sensor analyzes a printed nozzle check pattern and automatically cleans the print head if any problems are found - even partially clogged nozzles Epson PreciseColor™ technology In order to ensure consistent printing between multiple Epson Stylus Pro printers of the same model, Epson has enhanced the production process to include colorimetric calibration. This system evaluates and adjusts each printer at the manufacturing stage, assuring you'll get consistent color output from printer to printer. This completely eliminates the need for built-in calibration devices.
