Epson Stylus Photo R2880

Epson make the X-Rite choice - Epson are launching the ideal package for photographers and designers who require accurate controls throughout their workflow.

Press Release:
Epson LogoEpson has joined forces with X-Rite to bring together two award-winning products in one convenient package. The Epson Stylus Photo R2880 represents the pinnacle in A3 printing, while the X-Rite i1Display 2 offers unparalleled functionality for high-end professional monitor calibration and profiling. Together, they solve the problem of prints failing to match colours displayed on-screen, and enable users to obtain their desired prints first time.
Professional photographers and designers can now take ultimate control of their image output and attain accurate colour throughout the digital workflow. The i1Display 2 offers essential colour control tools, such as ambient check and match, workgroup match, and push-button calibration and validation. Once the image is ready to be printed, the Stylus Photo R2880 matches the colours with impressive accuracy.
The i1Display 2 provides the most advanced monitor profile quality to date, making calibration easy and precise. It delivers consistent, predictable colour on all types of monitors, plus one-button-push monitor profiling for monitors supporting DDC-CI standards. The advanced mode for experienced users has new features such as a selection of monitor white points, custom luminance settings and a detailed profile summary.
An enhanced sensor at the heart of the i1Display 2 provides higher repeatability, faster measurements and improved sensitivity in dark areas, resulting in better control in shadow detail and a more neutral gray scale. Ambient match functionality ensures that profiles are adapted for a range of ambient light environments.
The Stylus Photo R2880 is Epson’s top-of-the-range A3 printer, delivering the highest quality available in professional inkjet printing. The refined look-up table (LUT[1]) algorithms included with the R2880 enable the printer to more accurately match colours and ensure that every image is printed to exhibition display standards. A unique mode within the print driver enables users to have creative control over black and white tones as well as gradation, which has a similar effect to selecting specific papers and chemicals in a conventional dark room.
Once the user is ready to print, the Stylus Photo R2880’s high-speed Micro Piezo™ print head delivers unsurpassed precision in dot placement. The advanced UltraChrome™ K3 ink with Vivid Magenta enables superb grey balance, smooth tonal gradations and great colour accuracy of neutral and dark colours. Very long lasting, exhibition-quality prints can be created on a wide variety of media, including fine art paper, roll paper and thick, rigid media.
