nProfessional print permanence ratings for truly sellable quality prints
nHigh-gloss Microcrystal Encapsulation™Technology for reduced
gloss differential
nSuperior scratch resistance from improved pigment and resin chemistry
nColor is stable immediately after printing – no short-term color shifting
nDepending upon media – produces a black density up to 2.5 with
an L* value of 2.9†
Three-level Black Ink Technology
nSimultaneously uses Black, Light Black, and Light Light Black inks
nSignificantly improves the printer’s gray balance while eliminating
color casts
nOutstanding midtones and highlights for a smoother tonal range
nVirtually eliminates the metamerism and bronzing of basic
pigment chemistry
nEnhances the ICC profiling process for ColorSync™and ICM™workflows
Automatic Real-time Black Ink Mode Switching
Printers can automatically utilize two different black ink modes –
Photo Black or Matte Black. This innovative solution optimizes the
black ink density for various media types, dramatically improving the
final print quality.
The standard Photo Black ink mode can be used for any media type
with professional results. However, for certain Epson media types such
as Velvet Fine Art, Enhanced Matte, and UltraSmooth®Fine Art, using
the optional Matte Black ink mode instead, will dramatically increase
black optical density for even better print quality.

internal calibration devices, this system evaluates and adjusts each
printer’s performance at the manufacturing stage, producing consistent
color output from printer to printer.
Automatic Print Head Alignment
nBuilt-in sensor reads printed data for highly precise alignment of
all color channels
nAligns both single- and bi-directional print modes
Automatic Nozzle Verification and Cleaning

†Data based on Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper (260)
At Epson, we never forget our heritage. We never forget the thousands of
Creative Professionals who helped guide our engineering development to
become what it is today. And after a decade has past, we are still fascinated
by what is possible.
There is a single word used among the Stylus Pro engineering teams
within Epson – Monozukuri (mono-zu-kuri). When translated, it represents
the human involvement required to develop the world’s most difficult
technologies – and succeeding.
Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus Pro 11880.
Representing the ultimate expression of Epson Stylus Pro engineering,
the all-new Epson Stylus Pro 11880 is produced by a dedicated team of
specialists. Every step of its production is scrutinized, while incorporating
our latest technologies, including an advanced new MicroPiezo®TFP print
head, real-time automatic switching between Matte and Photo Black inks,
automatic nozzle verification and cleaning, and more. The result is the
world’s most advanced 64-inch-wide photographic printer.
Epson UltraChrome K3®is the standard by which all other professional-
level ink technologies are judged. Now enhanced with our breakthrough
new Vivid Magenta pigments, our newest-generation ink technology requires
only eight colors, including a three-level black technology, to significantly
raise the quality levels for professional color and black-and-white prints.
Imagine producing 64-inch-wide archival prints with amazing color fidelity,
gloss level, and scratch resistance, while providing consistently stable colors
that significantly outperform lesser ink technologies. Imagine producing
professional, neutral and toned, black-and-white prints with even higher
density levels, along with virtually no metamerism or bronzing.
With an even higher level of ink droplet accuracy, we’ve developed an
all-new MicroPiezo TFP print head, featuring a new ink repelling coating
technology for reduced nozzle clogging. And, when combined with our
new Epson AccuPhoto™HD screening technology, at an astonishing
resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi, Epson has once again raised the level of
image quality – even exceeding our previous best.
Capable of handling virtually any media type, in roll or cut-sheet, up to
64 inches wide, Epson sets the standard for professional media use.
Whether producing sellable color or black-and-white photography, fine art
reproduction, or color accurate proofs for client approvals, never before
have Creative Professionals had such a powerful tool, allowing them to
produce their vision without compromise.
Our latest Epson Stylus Pro printers continue to represent a level of
technology unprecedented in Epson’s history. Combining the extreme
precision of an Epson Stylus Pro print engine, with the extraordinary
performance of our latest Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink technology, Epson
continues to redefine the future of wide-format printing.
