Epson Stylus Pro 4880 Large-Format Printer - ColorBurst Edition
- No Longer Available
The Epson Stylus Pro 4880 Large-Format Printer - ColorBurst Edition incorporates a durable, 17-inch wide print carriage with a seamless combination of breakthrough technologies and software including Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink technology with Vivid Magenta, AccuPhoto HD screening, and ColorBurst's custom-designed PostScript Language Level 3 Compatible RIP.
UltraChrome K3 Ink technology - now enhanced with Epson's breakthrough Vivid Magenta pigments - produces archival prints with amazing color accuracy, gloss level, and scratch resistance; all while providing consistently stable colors that significantly outperform other professional printers. Furthermore, the use of three levels of black ink provides neutral or toned black-and-white prints with impressively high density levels and virtually no metamerism or bronzing.
With an even higher level of ink droplet accuracy than found on previous Epson printer models, the MicroPiezo AMC print head has been enhanced with an exclusive ink repelling coating technology to dramatically reduce nozzle clogging. This is combined with the Epson AccuPhoto HD screening technology. You'll be able to print at an astonishing resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi. You can obtain extremely accurate fine color blends and photographic transitions.
Capable of handling virtually any type of cut-sheet media up to 17" wide, the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 incorporates a high-capacity paper tray that accommodates up to 250 sheets of plain paper in sizes ranging from letter (8.5 x 11") up to 17 x 22". The printer also incorporates four different ways to load media, including a front-loading, straight-through path capable of handling media up to 1.5mm thick and even a second, top-loading, single-sheet feeder optimized for fine art paper.
Whether you're a graphic designer, a prepress professional, or a commercial photographer, the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 ColorBurst Edition offers a total printing solution for contract proofing and increased productivity at an affordable price.
- ColorBurst RIP Software
- This PostScript Language Level 3 compatible software RIP server provides an easy-to-use RIP server interface, and is compatible with both Macintosh OS X (Panther and Tiger) and Windows 32-bit operating systems (64-bit compatible after installation of additional free software). The ColorBurst RIP software, provides professional color management, including separate input ICC profiles for RGB, CMYK, and grayscale images, and professional job management to handle any workflow your network can produce. It is SWOP certified for the Epson proofing media line when using a SWOP printing environment, and provides in-printer linearization to ensure accurate color across multiple printers; plus the software is PANTONE licensed to include coated and uncoated libraries. The software is also easy to implements and lets users print directly from any software application or drag-and-drop files into a hot folder for batch printing or for authorization and quality control procedures.
- Eight-Channel MicroPiezo AMC Print Head with Ink Repelling Coating Technology
- The Epson MicroPiezo print head, combined with variable sized dot technology, and Active Meniscus Control (AMC) technology delivers unprecedented image quality, reliability, and print speeds. Unlike thermal-type print heads that use heat to spray droplets onto a page, MicroPiezo print heads use electrical pulses that provide greater ink droplet size control and the ability to place smaller ink droplets onto a page. Furthermore the AMC technology precisely controls the curvature of every ink droplet within each nozzle before releasing it onto the media for extreme precision and accuracy in regards to droplet placement and shape. This results in amazing print quality that thermal technology can't match. The large print head used in the Epson Stylus Pro 4880 is about 1" wide, with 180 nozzles per channel so a larger swath of your image can be rendered at a time, and that naturally results in faster print speeds. In addition, the use of a cutting-edge ink repelling coating dramatically reduces nozzle clogging, for more consistent print output.
- Epson AccuPhoto HD Screening Technology
- Epson's breakthrough AccuPhoto HD screening technology uses a radically different algorithm for determining dot placement, resulting in exceptional photographic image quality with superior color and clarity. Its ability to compensate for various ink densities between resolutions enables a single ICC profile to be used for a particular media type, thereby improving productivity, and this system allows for a maximum print resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi for incredibly sharp text and line art. Furthermore, this highly precise screening technology allows for extremely accurate, fine blends and photographic transitions, even in bi-directional and lower resolution print modes.
- Automatic Head Alignment and Nozzle Check
- The Stylus Pro 4880 printer includes an Automatic Print Head Alignment system that utilizes a built-in sensor inside the printer to provide unmatched accuracy and automate the process of printer head alignment for increased user convenience.
- Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink with Vivid Magenta
- The acclaimed Epson UltraChrome K3 ink system utilizes an 8-color pigment-based professional ink set. This has been improved in the Stylus Pro 4880 with the addition of the revolutionary Vivid Magenta pigments. This latest generation of ink technology utilizes High-density pigments for an extremely wide color gamut, while the Vivid Magenta pigments provide improved representation of extreme blues and purples. The superior color and clarity provided by this ink formulation gives your images an almost three-dimensional look that far exceeds what a traditional color silver halide photograph can produce. Furthermore, Epson has improved their Microcrystal Encapsulation technology to further reduce the gloss differential thereby reducing metamerism while improved pigment and resin chemistry provides prints with superior scratch resistance.
- Impressive Color Stability and Archival Life
- Epson UltraChrome K3 ink provides outstanding color stability immediately after printing, so there is no short term color shifting seen as the ink dries. Furthermore, the print permanence ratings exceed 200 years (depending on print media used) for truly sellable prints.
- Three-Level Black Ink Technology
- The Stylus Pro 4880 printer simultaneously uses Black, Light Black, and Light Light Black inks to significantly improve the printer's gray balance while eliminating color casts. It provides impressive midtones and highlights for smoother tonal range, and improves overall black density for significantly richer blacks up to 2.55 Dmax (L value of 2.90 on Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper). This capability virtually eliminates bronzing and enhances the ICC profiling process for ColorSync and ICM workflows.
- Advanced Black-and-White Printing
- The Advanced Black and White Printing mode is a unique Epson screening and color management technology developed to produce darkroom-quality black and white prints from either color or grayscale files. This unique driver takes full advantage of the three-level black technology to produce professional black-and-white prints from color or grayscale image files with no color crossover or color cast. Users can also produces high-quality toned black and white prints from a single ink set, thereby expanding creative options.
- Two User-Exchangeable Black Ink Modes
- Epson UltraChrome K3 ink provides two different black ink modes to optimize black ink density for various media types. The standard Photo Black ink mode can be used for any media type with professional results. However, certain Epson media types (eg. Velvet Fine Art, Enhanced Matte, and UltraSmooth Fine Art), produce better results using the optional Matte Black ink mode which dramatically increases black optical density. This capability enables the use of just one printer for all media types.
- Intelligent High-Capacity Ink System
- The printer uses eight individual ink cartridges at either 110ml or 220ml capacity, and can even utilize both 110ml and 220ml ink cartridges simultaneously to optimize ink usage. Furthermore you'll greatly increase productivity because the printer allows replacement of ink cartridges on the fly, even during the middle of a print job.
- Superior Connectivity
- The Stylus Pro 4880 Inkjet Printer is fully compatible with both Windows and Macintosh systems and includes standard ports for high speed USB 2.0 and 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connections.
- Professional Media Handling
- Print on virtually any media type, in roll or cut sheet, from letter up to 17-inches wide. The built-in high-capacity paper tray can handle up to 250 sheets of plain letter-sized paper or up to 50 sheets of photographic media at sizes ranging from letter to 17 x 22", and the user-adjustable Roll Media Spindle accepts either 2-inch or 3-inch media cores, with roll widths ranging from 8.25 to 17". Furthermore the printer has a front-top manual feed slot, and a straight-through front manual feed slot for handling posterboard stock up to 1.5mm thick. There is even a built-in automatic media cutter.
- Trouble-Free Printing
- A built-in sensor reads printed data for highly precise alignments of all color channels, and functions in both unit-directional and bi-directional print modes, plus a built-in sensor reads the nozzle check patterns and automatically cleans the print head if required.
- True BorderFree Printing
- The Stylus Pro 4880 Printer - ColorBurst Edition is capable of printing off both left and right edges of roll based media, while automatically cutting top and bottom edges to produce a full-bleed print on all four sides.
- High Performance Engine Speeds
- Utilizing Epson's latest high-performance print head technology, the Stylus Pro 4880 - ColorBurst Edition is among the fastest professional desktop printers in the industry with 8 x 10" print speeds of up to 1 minute 18 seconds in fine mode. Users can even print 16 x 20" prints in the SuperPhoto - 2880 dpi quality mode at a decent speed of about 19 minutes. At this speed level, Photo output services and other dedicated application environments can improve overall productivity while still delivering a superb product.
- Epson PreciseColor Technology
- Epson PreciseColor Manufacturing Technology brings an unexpected level of consistency to the printing process. Through this enhanced manufacturing process that includes colorimetric calibration; Epson ensures that individual printers of the same model produce prints that are indistinguishable from each other. This eliminates the need for internal calibration devices since Epson evaluates and adjusts each printer's performance at the manufacturing stage.
- 16-bit Printer Driver
- The Epson 16-bit printer driver gives the Stylus Pro printers the ability to work in an entirely 16-bit workflow on Apple Macintosh OS X operating systems. This highly precise driver technology overcomes previous driver limitations and enables extremely accurate transitions and gradations in the final prints. The 16-bit Print Driver is the ultimate driver solution for use with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom with Apple Macintosh OS X operating systems, and takes full advantage of Apple's OS X architecture and printing window.

Comments about Epson Stylus Pro 4880 Large-Format Printer - ColorBurst Edition:
We have one at our college for photography students to use. Disclaimer: Im not a photography profesional. But as a layman I'm very annoyed at frequency the Ink cartdigges must be replaced- 8 of them at around 100 bucks each. Now our Mainenance Tank needs to be replaced. Of course it's a "CONSUMABLE" that must be bought. This thing is engineered very well - to be a money pit. : (

Comments about Epson Stylus Pro 4880 Large-Format Printer - ColorBurst Edition:
The roll paper feed is what I use primarily and that works well. The large sheet feed (in back) lacks a guide and can handle only one sheet at a time. The small sheet feed has a somewhat clumsy lid and it feeds paper around a tight turn (not suited to thicker papers).

Comments about Epson Stylus Pro 4880 Large-Format Printer - ColorBurst Edition:
I used an Epson 2400 for the last 5 years. It did a great job but the cost of ink was not so good. Sent alot of work and larger prints outside for printing. When the 4880 arrived it was easy to set-up,load software and print. With 110 ML and 220 ML ink cartridges ink is more affordable. Would have given it five stars but the black ink changeover is costly and time consuming. That is why I only use Luster and Gloss papers.

Comments about Epson Stylus Pro 4880 Large-Format Printer - ColorBurst Edition:
This is the best printer I have ever used. Well built, quite, fast and exceptional print quality.
When you do the math with 220ML catridges, the cost per print is very low.
When using the highest print quality, it almost looks like a painting.
I do a lot of HDR. The 4880 impressively brings out the highs and lows.

Comments about Epson Stylus Pro 4880 Large-Format Printer - ColorBurst Edition:
As an advanced recreational photographer of landscape and architecture. I use the Epson 4880 to print large color and black and white prints both of which it does extremely well. The colors are exceptionally true. The black and whites are incredible. Epson's technical support is terrific and responsive. I would highly recommend the Stylus Pro 4880. On the downside the printer is large.

Comments about Epson Stylus Pro 4880 Large-Format Printer - ColorBurst Edition:
I am a graphic designer using my new printer to print mockups for clients from InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop CS3. I'm very happy with the color management provided by the ColorBurst RIP software that shipped with the 4880. Haven't managed to print successfully with the Epson Driver. Thankfully the printer combined with the ColorBurst driver is giving very accurate Pantone color representation and great looking photos. I would have given it 5 stars if the Epson driver had been less frustrating.
