Technology that will turbocharge
your printing.
8-Channel MicroPiezo AMC Print Head with
Ink-Repelling Coating
The Epson Stylus Pro 3880's advanced print head is a marvel
of ingenuity. One inch wide, it delivers a maximum resolution of
2880 x 1440 dpi. It produces variable-sized ink droplets as small
as 3.5 picoliters to simultaneously optimize photographic quality
and dramatically decrease print times. But that's just the beginning.
Proprietary Active Meniscus Control (AMC) technology precisely
controls the curvature of every ink droplet within each nozzle before
releasing it onto the media.
A unique ink-repelling coating helps to prevent ink build-up around
the nozzles, allowing for precise and accurate dot placement, and
reduced maintenance.
AccuPhoto HD2 Image Technology
Created from a collaboration between Epson and the Rochester
Institute of Technology's Munsell Color Science Laboratory,
AccuPhoto HD2 combines a complex mathematical architecture
with an advanced screening technology to provide outstanding
image quality.
AccuPhoto HD2 is specifi cally engineered to ensure precision
placement of each individual ink droplet, resulting in smooth, grain-
free images. Choosing from an extraordinary number of possible ink
combinations for each color, this technology optimizes the ink use
to maximize the color gamut and provide smooth color transitions
and gradations. Reduction of the metameric index makes it possible
to achieve consistent color under different lighting conditions.
Quality stays true to form, even in high-speed and lower resolution
print modes.
Epson PreciseColor Technology
™
Every Epson Stylus Pro 3880 meets the standards of Epson
PreciseColor manufacturing. This rigorous process applies
colorimetric calibration to ensure that individual printers of the
same model produce prints that are virtually indistinguishable
from one another.
Automatic Print Head Alignment and Cleaning Technology
A built-in sensor automatically reads printed data for highly precise
alignment of all color channels, both bi-directional and uni-directional,
resulting in outstanding accuracy. In addition, the automatic print
head cleaning mode analyzes a printed nozzle check pattern
and automatically cleans the print head, if even a partially clogged
nozzle is detected.
Ink technology to show your true colors.
