Epson Stylus Pro 7880 Review

The Epson Stylus Pro 7880 is a new 24 inch, large-format printer featuring improved UltraChrome K3 ink with Vivid Magenta technology. Shared by all 3 new models in the x880 series, this technology promises a wider colour gamut and unrivalled image quality from an 8-colour inkset. In addition the Epson 7880 offers a new Ethernet interface as standard and an improved printhead with Epson’s Super Halftone Technology, which enhances the image detail that may be lost in low resolution images. With a price tag of £2395 / $2995 for the 24” Stylus Pro 7880, only serious photographers need apply. Jon Canfield finds out if the Epson Stylus Pro 7880 meets their needs…

1. Hello,
   
   Windows Vista supports 16-bit printing and higher if the printer has 16-bit drivers.

3. I think epson is treading water. It's not that the printers are bad - they're good - but in terms ink management and other software and hardware elements they are standing still.
   
   I went from a 7600 to an hp z3100 and it's worlds apart in terms of ease of use: built in spectrometer, full reports on ink and paper usage, synchronization of profiles with the computer, all black inks all the time, no ink trays, no clogging, and cheaper ink.
   
   The point is all the wide format printers make good prints, the difference is in the other stuff and epson is standing still.
