I still plan on doing more experimentation with a variety of papers.Д®ven out of the box (on a calibrated system) the colors are very accurate. The transitions are very smooth and detail is preserved in both black and white and color. Trying out different types of photos and papers, it was the same story. The combination of the paper and inks is very appealing. The print came out beautiful with details in the shadows and highlights. I decided to print a black and white photo I took of Paris, using black and white film. I then proceeded to switch over to the Matte Black ink and tested it on the new Epson hot press matte paper. The detail was beautiful and there was no bronzing. I was very impressed with the fidelity and saturation of color. This shot has a lot of blues and violets and was a perfect test for the vivid magenta ink. I used a photo I took of the lake at Central Park late in the day. The first print I created was a glossy using the Photo Black. Everything installed ok and I was up and running making my first print in less than an hour. For decreased maintenance and increased reliability, the print head also incorporates an ink repellent coating.вЂќ Experience using the Stylus 3880

вЂ“ MicroPiezo AMC Print Head: The eight-channel, high-precision print head produces a maximum resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi and variable-sized droplets as small as 3.5 picoliters and places them with precision and accuracy. This advanced technology optimizes ink usage to maximize the color gamut and provide smooth color transitions and gradations, and reduction of the metameric index makes it possible to achieve consistent color under different lighting conditions. Here is what Epson says about it: вЂњAccuPhoto HD2 Image Technology: Created in collaboration with the Rochester Institute of TechnologyвЂ™s Munsell Color Science Laboratory, this complex mathematical architecture and advanced screening technology ensures precision placement of each individual ink droplet for smooth, grain-free images. The advanced MicroPiezoВ® AMCв„ў print head is able to deliver very detailed and measured ink right where you need it for a very sharp and accurate print. The AccuPhotoв„ў HD2 image technology is marketing speak for smoother transitions and more shadow and highlight detail (the HD part). There are also a color tone wheel and some sliders for tweaking the settings. You can choose one of 4 presets: Neutral, Warm, Cool, or Sepia. With 3 different black inks, and the new Advanced Black and White Mode, this puppy is the best at printing black and white. But it also means more vibrant colors especially in the blues. What does that mean? Basically the 3880 uses pigment inks, which have a very long life. ItвЂ™s boasting the Ultra Chrome K3 with Vivid Magenta inks.

Compare this with about 20 minutes and $50 worth of ink in the past. Going back from Matte to Photo is faster, taking about 2 minutes and using about 1.5 ml of ink. It takes about 3 minutes for the printer to charge the inks and switch over to Photo Black from Matte Black inks. The big WOW feature is that the Photo and Matt Black inks are both onboard now, so youвЂ™re going to get a speedy switch when changing media types. This can be both time consuming and expensive. The issue has been that changing cartridges takes time (a lot of it) and it wastes a lot of ink as the heads clean and charge. Ok, it goes a bit deeper than that, but thatвЂ™s it in a nutshell. When you move to a nice Matte or fiber type of paper, you will want to be using a Matte Black, you donвЂ™t want to ruin your exhibition prints with shiny black ink. When you print off glossy papers you will use the photo black inks that are formulated for this type of printing, they are designed to be dense and minimize bronzing (patchy changes in shininess). One of the things that have plagued these types of machines in the past is the changing of inks. I have no problem with this is as it keeps the bulk down. There is no support for roll paper on this model, so itвЂ™s cut sheets only.

There are 3 paper paths, The main top loading feeder which holds up to 120 sheets of plain paper (why anyone would want to use this printer for plain paper is beyond me), the second top loading feeder which holds a single sheet of fine art paper and the front manual feeder which is a single sheet straight through feeder and can support up to 1.5mm 12lb card stock. Both Photo Black and Matte Black are onboard. There are 9 ink cartridges (80ml capacity each) onboard. This printer has a very small footprint for a printer than can create borderless 17вЂі x 22вЂі gallery quality prints.

The Stylus Pro 3880 is the replacement for the 3 year old 3800. Right off the bat I have to say I was impressed. I recently had the opportunity to test the new Epson 3880 printer.
