Epson ups the Stakes at the top end of Quality inkjet printing
New Photo Printer from Epson stretches the limits!
Epson are just in the process of releasing to the world their latest top end Phot Printer. The Epson R1900 is the latest in a long line of professional photo printers that dominate the top end of the market for high quality printing and can deliver photos up to 13 inches wide and 44 inches long on a wide variet of media types including glossy, lustre, matte, canvan and fine art papers.
With the introduction of their new range of high gloss inks the UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 range, the R1900 can achieve an optimal level of gloss and colour vibrancy in a pigmented ink system using eight colours – including new red and orange inks – plus an enhanced Gloss Optimiser. The Red and Orange inks have replaced the red and blue inks found in the Epson R1800, resulting in improved colour gamut and facial tones. This next generation pigment ink set produces quick-drying, archival resultas that can last up to 200 years under glass. A unique feature of the printer is the ability to auto-switch between photo and matte black cartridges to ensure the deepset blacks on any media type.
Other developments incorporated into the R1900 are:
- Faster Print Speeds – Creates prints up to 35 percent faster than the Epson R1800, particularly at higher resolutions, boosting productivity for final layouts and sellable photographic images. Produces breathtaking 11 x 14 prints as fast as 1 minute 46 seconds.
- Superior Media Flexibility – Offers the same media versatility as the Epson R1800 with the ability to print on glossy, lustre and matte medias as well as thicker fine art media, roll papers, canvas and directly onto inkjet printable CX/DVD’s.
- Ehanced Connectivity – Allows two computers to simultaneously connect to the R1900 via two high speed USB 2.0 ports for seamless printing from either computer.
Exceptional Reliability – Features a new ink-repelling coating on the print head that prolongs the life of the Epson R1900 and decreases maintenance time. A built-in sensor also allows for automatic print head alignment and nozzle checking.
