STYLUS PRO 3880 PHOTO 17IN
WIDE 8COL Reproducing an image, exactly as you saw it, has always
been a challenge. Until now, with the introduction of the Epson
Stylus Pro 3880, the bar has once again been raised and the realm
of what's possible has been expanded. Engineered for the most
discriminating professionals, the Epson Stylus Pro 3880 comes with
a variety of technological breakthroughs that will make it the
benchmark by which all other 17-inch printers are measured. In
fact, there's so much innovation in this feature-rich printer, you
might expect a much larger footprint, but the 3880 is remarkably
compact, equal in size to many 13-inch printers.

upon print engine speed only. Total throughput times depend upon
front-end RIP, file size, printer resolution, ink coverage,
networking, etc. Normal Mode based on SuperFine - 1440
dpi.
BInk used in conversion
varies considerably based on temperature and other
factors.
CCartridge yields vary
considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type,
frequency of use and temperature. For print quality, a variable
amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the "replace
cartridge" indicator comes on. The printer ships with full
cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used
for priming the printer.
DInk lightfastness
rating based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media,
displayed indoors, under glass. Actual print stability will vary
according to media, printed image, display conditions, light
intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not
guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all
prints under glass or lamination or properly store them.
