Every now and then, a breakthrough comes along changing the way we
express ourselves. Not simple improvements upon existing technology,
but radical changes giving us new options to express our creative visions.
Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus®Pro 4800.
Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professionals, the
Epson Stylus Pro 4800 incorporates a unique 17-inch wide printer design
with a breakthrough new 8-color ink technology, forcing us to reconsider
what’s possible from photographic ink jet printing.
Epson UltraChrome K3™ink technology represents a turning-point in the
history of ink jet printing. Inspired by our past-generations of pigmented
ink development, Epson UltraChrome K3 incorporates a new three-level
black, along with eight new color pigments dramatically raising the bar for
professional color and black and white prints.
Imagine producing 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 higher density
levels and virtually no metamerism or bronzing.
Even more remarkable, our new high-performance 1-inch wide print head
produces an astonishing resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi to deliver a level
of image quality and speed that even exceeds our previous best.
Handling virtually any media type in roll or cut-sheet up to 17-inch wide,
the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 incorporates a high-capacity paper tray capable
of handling cut-sheet media up to 17" x 22". We even incorporated four
different ways to load media, including a front-loading straight-through
path capable of handling media up to 1.5mm poster board, giving you
the ultimate in media flexibility.
The Epson Stylus Pro 4800 represents a level of technology unprecedented
in Epson’s history. Combining the extreme precision of an Epson Stylus Pro
print engine, along with the extraordinary performance of UltraChrome K3
Ink Technology, results in a print void of any signs of how it was produced.
Prepare to be amazed all over again.

Every now and then, a breakthrough comes along changing the way we
express ourselves. Not simple improvements upon existing technology,
but radical changes giving us new options to express our creative visions.
Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus®Pro 4800.
Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professionals, the
Epson Stylus Pro 4800 incorporates a unique 17-inch wide printer design
with a breakthrough new 8-color ink technology, forcing us to reconsider
what’s possible from photographic ink jet printing.
Epson UltraChrome K3™ink technology represents a turning-point in the
history of ink jet printing. Inspired by our past-generations of pigmented
ink development, Epson UltraChrome K3 incorporates a new three-level
black, along with eight new color pigments dramatically raising the bar for
professional color and black and white prints.
Imagine producing 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 higher density
levels and virtually no metamerism or bronzing.
Even more remarkable, our new high-performance 1-inch wide print head
produces an astonishing resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi to deliver a level
of image quality and speed that even exceeds our previous best.
Handling virtually any media type in roll or cut-sheet up to 17-inch wide,
the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 incorporates a high-capacity paper tray capable
of handling cut-sheet media up to 17" x 22". We even incorporated four
different ways to load media, including a front-loading straight-through
path capable of handling media up to 1.5mm poster board, giving you
the ultimate in media flexibility.
The Epson Stylus Pro 4800 represents a level of technology unprecedented
in Epson’s history. Combining the extreme precision of an Epson Stylus Pro
print engine, along with the extraordinary performance of UltraChrome K3
Ink Technology, results in a print void of any signs of how it was produced.
Prepare to be amazed all over again.

Every now and then, a breakthrough comes along changing the way we
express ourselves. Not simple improvements upon existing technology,
but radical changes giving us new options to express our creative visions.
Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus®Pro 4800.
Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professionals, the
Epson Stylus Pro 4800 incorporates a unique 17-inch wide printer design
with a breakthrough new 8-color ink technology, forcing us to reconsider
what’s possible from photographic ink jet printing.
Epson UltraChrome K3™ink technology represents a turning-point in the
history of ink jet printing. Inspired by our past-generations of pigmented
ink development, Epson UltraChrome K3 incorporates a new three-level
black, along with eight new color pigments dramatically raising the bar for
professional color and black and white prints.
Imagine producing 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 higher density
levels and virtually no metamerism or bronzing.
Even more remarkable, our new high-performance 1-inch wide print head
produces an astonishing resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi to deliver a level
of image quality and speed that even exceeds our previous best.
Handling virtually any media type in roll or cut-sheet up to 17-inch wide,
the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 incorporates a high-capacity paper tray capable
of handling cut-sheet media up to 17" x 22". We even incorporated four
different ways to load media, including a front-loading straight-through
path capable of handling media up to 1.5mm poster board, giving you
the ultimate in media flexibility.
The Epson Stylus Pro 4800 represents a level of technology unprecedented
in Epson’s history. Combining the extreme precision of an Epson Stylus Pro
print engine, along with the extraordinary performance of UltraChrome K3
Ink Technology, results in a print void of any signs of how it was produced.
Prepare to be amazed all over again.
