One of the comparisons where one cansee a difference, though it does take close viewing of appropriate images, is in the area of colour gamut. They are, especially when side-by-side comparisons are done. And in any event, the differences are becoming such as to become decreasingly visible without some serious pixel peeping even when viewing prints. It is impossible to show the differences between printers online. The rest of the mechanical sounds, and operation, of the printer, such as paper feed, appear to be the same. Regardless, the sound reduction is not huge, but it’s noticeable.
WHICH PAPER TO BUY FOR EPSON 3880 PRINTER SERIES
This may be due to the new head coatings which are intended to reduce head clogging (which never has been much of a problem on this series for most people, in any event).
One that I am aware of, though I haven’t done actual measurements, is that the head’s motion across the paper appears to be quieter than on the 3800.
The point is that with each new generation of Epson printers there are improvements that provide small, incremental but still valuable improvements in every aspect of image quality. There are also White Papers available on various aspects that cover this in even greater detail. The technology that Epson uses in their heads and dithering patterns is well described on their web site and needs no elaboration here from me. The expanded gamut of these inks is easily seen in the gamut plots further on in this report. The move from K3 inks to K3 with Vivid Magenta is well documented, and there is broad agreement that the benefits are worthwhile. Since the 3880 is Epson’s new desktop king of the hill, and likely to remain so for some time to come, so let’s see what’s new about it. But the 3800 is only now being updated to the 3880, and I am told that there will likely not be a 3900 because the head technology used in those high-end printers (7900, 9900) is simply not amenable to a printer of the size of the 3800 or 3880.
WHICH PAPER TO BUY FOR EPSON 3880 PRINTER PRO
The rest of the Stylus Pro line was updated from the 800 to the 880 series with K3 and Vivid Magenta inks a while ago, and indeed while the 880 series are still current there is now an even newer generation of 900 series printers in 24″ and 44″ sizes. And, for good reason, because the 3800 offered a combination of size, price and image quality that was hard to beat. The new Epson Stylus Pro 3880 is the least expensive Pro series printer, and replaces the highly regarded 3800, which has now been around for about three years, and which has likely been the best selling printer in its category. This process automatically evaluates and adjusts the colour performance of each printer produced.” Colourimetric calibration is performed during the manufacturing process. Epson’s PR blurb on this states “… unique production technology to ensure printer-to-printer colour consistency. One of the main differences between the two being that the Pro printers are individually calibrated during the manufacturing process. While they didn’t invent inkjet printing, they essentially perfected it.Įpson has two lines of photo printers the Stylus Photo and the Stylus Pro. Epson have arguably done more to advance the art and technology of photographic quality printers over the past fifteen years than any other company. Epson photo printers are the best selling machines on the market.
