Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink
Technology
 Epson
UltraChrome K3 ink technology represents a turning point in the history
of inkjet printing. Inspired by our past generations of pigmented ink
technology, Epson's all new 8-color ink set incorporates three unique
levels of black, which along with new color pigment technology,
dramatically improves both color and black and white prints. Imagine
producing archival prints with amazing color fidelity, gloss level, and
scratch resistance, while providing stable colors from the moment prints
exit the printer.
Incorporating high density pigments, Epson UltraChrome K3
produces prints with an extremely wide color gamut allowing the
reproduction of colors that were originally envisioned at the point of
capture. With its expanded color gamut and breakthrough 8-color system,
no other ink set can reproduce the three dimensional lifelike quality
and stunning photographic feel of Epson UltraChrome K3.
 Utilizing
a unique three level black ink technology, Epson UltraChrome K3 ink
significantly improves overall gray balance while enhancing midtone and
highlight detail yielding a smoother tonal range. And by virtually
eliminating metamerism and bronzing, both black and white and color
prints can be produced with the look and feel of a traditional
photograph while utilizing all the advantages of a digital workflow.
Epson UltraChrome K3 ink incorporates High-gloss Microcrystal
Encapsulation Technology along with unique screening algorithms and
Light Light Black ink that significantly reduces gloss differential.
There is no longer any compromise for professionals that require glossy
prints that have excellent longevity and durability.
With two different black ink modes - Photo Black and Matte Black - Epson
UltraChrome K3 provides an innovative solution to optimize the black ink
density for various media types. Photo Black ink can be used for all
media types with professional quality results. The optional Matte Black
ink significantly increases black optical density when printing on matte
and fine art type papers. This innovative solution enables the use of
just one printer for all media types.
 Epson's
unique driver technology takes full advantage of the new three-level
black ink system, allowing the production of the highest quality neutral
and toned prints from a single ink set. In addition, proprietary Epson
screening technology, developed specifically for black and white
printing, produces outstanding image quality with no color crossover or
color cast. For the first time photographers can make sellable black and
white prints without going into a darkroom.
Without being restricted to a few choices of media to achieve
professional requirements for longevity, Epson UltraChrome K3 inks are
designed to work as a system with Epson's full range of professional
media. Epson UltraChrome K3 ink has improved print permanence
characteristics that provide lightfastness ratings of up to 108 years
for color and over 200 years for black and white under rigorous industry
accepted display conditions*. Epson UltraChrome K3 ink and Epson Genuine
Media perform as a perfectly matched system that provides the industry's
best combination of quality output and longevity enabling the display
and sales of prints to the most demanding clients.
*Print permanence ratings based on accelerated testing of prints on
specialty media, displayed indoors, under glass. Actual print stability
will vary according to printer, media, printed image, display conditions,
light intensity, humidity, and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not
guarantee longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all
prints under glass or lamination or properly store them. Visit www.wilhelm-research.com
