Creative talent and imagination behind the camera are what make

people like you great photographers. It’s what challenges and

stimulates you. The rest of it, the details involved in running your

wedding, event or portrait photography business, can often distract

you from the job you love.

That’s why we’ve combined our Epson Portrait Edition professional

ink jet printers with ExpressDigital®Darkroom™Core Edition software,

customized for Epson. With this system, you’ll spend more time

concentrating on your craft and less time wrestling with delivery

dates, lab fees and cash flow issues.

Introducing a total workflow solution that puts you in control

It all starts with the printers. Designed by Epson, the overwhelming

brand of choice among professional photographers, the Epson Stylus

Pro 3800 and Epson Stylus Pro 4800 ink jet printers are no exception.

Both utilize the best print technologies Epson has developed to date.

And, both are capable of producing the highest quality photographic

prints in the industry.

Couple that with ExpressDigital Darkroom software and you have the

most complete solution available today for producing print packages.

Surprisingly easy to use, this system puts you in complete control of

your workflow, increases your competitive advantage — and your

profitability — and reduces or eliminates your dependence on labs.

It’s a total solution that is designed to grow with your business.

The key is control. You’ll be able to print archival quality photographs

your clients will cherish for generations. And, the color accuracy of

your prints, the shadow-to-highlight detail, the clarity and sharpness

will be unmatched. Best of all, you can accomplish it all in-house,

on your schedule, without lab fees or delays, even during those

busy holiday seasons.

With the extreme precision of our Epson Stylus Pro print engines

and the extraordinary performance of Epson UltraChrome K3™ Ink

technology, the bar has been raised for printing professional color and

black-and-white prints. This incredible technology, which incorporates

a three-level black ink set, along with rich color pigments, ensures

quality that's simply astounding.

You get the ultimate in media flexibility as well. Use 17-inch wide roll or

cut-sheet media, depending on the printer you choose. With this kind

of versatility, you’ll be able to offer your customers more options than

most labs.

Just imagine the competitive advantages: greater control over your

workflow, the highest possible quality, increased profitability and more

traditional E-surface luster papers. These innovative products

accommodate a wide range of media types including photographic

matte, fine art and canvas, all in sizes up to 17 inches wide and

all possessing unprecedented print quality.

And, whatever the media type, Epson's remarkable, high performance,

one-inch wide print head will produce images with an astonishing

resolution. The result is a level of image quality and speed that

exceeds even our previous best.

Make the business end of your business more manageable

While your Epson printer and software streamline the day-to-day

details of your business, you’ll have more time and energy to create

great photographs, which is the whole idea.
