16" x 20" image printed on 17" x 22" media.

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.

The Epson Stylus Pro 3880: Your vision delivered.



High-gloss Microcrystal Encapsulation

™

for an improved glossy ﬁ nish



Instant color stability, immediately after printing, with no short-term

color shifting

Three-level Black Ink Technology with Two Auto-sharing

Black Ink Modes

Three-level Black technology simultaneously uses Black, Light Black

and Light Light Black ink, resulting in richer blacks, an unsurpassed

gray balance and stunning tonal range. Whether a panorama of fall

foliage or a black-and-white portrait shot in subdued light, your print

will duplicate exactly what you saw through the lens.

The Epson Stylus Pro 3880 automatically switches between two

different Black ink modes — Photo Black or Matte Black. This optimizes

the Dmax (Black ink density) for various media types, so whether

you’re printing on traditional photographic media or unique, ﬁ ne art

paper, ﬁ nal print quality is dramatically improved.

Epson Intelligent, High-capacity Ink System

Epson’s pressurized ink cartridge technology enables reliable ink

delivery at all print speeds, while dramatically reducing the size of

the ink cartridges themselves.



Nine individual 80 ml ink cartridges ensure truly professional printing

On-the-ﬂ y ink cartridge replacement increases productivity

More beneﬁ ts, more advantages.

Compact, 17-Inch Wide Printer

Even with its surprisingly small footprint, the Epson Stylus Pro 3880

offers a number of advantages. Its print engine technology takes full

Technology that will turbocharge

your printing.

8-Channel MicroPiezo AMC Print Head with

Ink-Repelling Coating

The Epson Stylus Pro 3880’s advanced print head is a marvel

of ingenuity. One inch wide, it delivers a maximum resolution of

2880 x 1440 dpi. It produces variable-sized ink droplets as small

as 3.5 picoliters to simultaneously optimize photographic quality

and dramatically decrease print times. But that’s just the beginning.

Proprietary Active Meniscus Control (AMC) technology precisely

controls the curvature of every ink droplet within each nozzle before

releasing it onto the media.

A unique ink-repelling coating helps to prevent ink build-up around

the nozzles, allowing for precise and accurate dot placement, and

reduced maintenance.

AccuPhoto HD2 Image Technology

Created from a collaboration between Epson and the Rochester

Institute of Technology’s Munsell Color Science Laboratory,

AccuPhoto HD2 combines a complex mathematical architecture

with an advanced screening technology to provide outstanding

image quality.

AccuPhoto HD2 is speciﬁ cally engineered to ensure precision

placement of each individual ink droplet, resulting in smooth, grain-

free images. Choosing from an extraordinary number of possible ink

combinations for each color, this technology optimizes the ink use

to maximize the color gamut and provide smooth color transitions

and gradations. Reduction of the metameric index makes it possible

to achieve consistent color under different lighting conditions.

Quality stays true to form, even in high-speed and lower resolution

print modes.

alignment of all color channels, both bi-directional and uni-directional,

resulting in outstanding accuracy. In addition, the automatic print

head cleaning mode analyzes a printed nozzle check pattern

and automatically cleans the print head, if even a partially clogged

nozzle is detected.

AMERICA

In the shadowIn the shadow of the majestic Sierra Nevada

mountain range in Mono County, California,

sits Bodie, the largest unrestored ghost town in

the West. Once a boomtown full of prospectors

and get-rich-quick opportunists, its mines

produced gold and silver valued at nearly $35

million. Founded in the late 1800s, Bodie quickly

gained a reputation as a lawless place where

the undertaker never had a slow day.
