Ultra Hi-Definition Printing

Get crisp text documents, plus photos with richness, depth and clarity that satisfy even the toughest customers — professional photographers.

Ultra Hi-Definition prints are made possible through these advanced features:

• Professional MicroPiezo® print head

  These innovative print heads, exclusively from Epson, deliver consistent ink droplets for precision prints. Because they do not rely on thermal heat and vapor, as those from other manufacturers do, these print heads do not cause unwanted spray or misting that can harm print quality.

• "Smart nozzles" — DX5™ (droplets x 5) technology

  DX5 technology delivers up to 5 ink droplet sizes per nozzle, as small as 1.5 picoliters, to produce exceptionally smooth gradations, amazingly accurate skin tones and sharp, grain-free photos. The nozzles of other manufacturers are limited to one or two droplet sizes. Not so "smart," are they?
  

• Claria^® Hi-Definition ink

  For the ultimate combination of photo quality and longevity. Claria ink produces exceptional gradations and remarkable colour saturation. Prints also resist smudges, scratches and water. Best of all, photos printed using Claria ink are fade resistant, lasting up to 4 times longer than those from the photo lab!³

Advanced Photo Features

• Auto Photo Correction with advanced face detection

  Auto Photo Correction automatically corrects the lighting in poorly exposed images and can be previewed on the built-in LCD. And, it includes advanced face detection, which automatically distinguishes people from scenery, correcting the colour accordingly. It’s like having your own photo lab right at home.

• Red eye removal

  Artisan products enable users to automatically remove red eye with or without a computer. Red eye can also be removed from your photo projects using the included ArcSoft® Print Creations software.

• Restore Colour to Faded Photos

  Restore faded photos back to their original brilliance, PC-free. Just lay photos on the scanner bed and renew the colour with one click. It’s just that easy.

• Epson — The overwhelming brand of choice among professional photographers

  No other printer company can make such a bold statement. Epson has a legacy of delivering photo imaging technology, paper and ink formulations that turn digital and film photography into works of art. It's no wonder that so many of today's photographic masters trust their reputations to Epson.

• Video Clip Printing (Artisan 800 only)

  Easily print a video clip from your digital camera. Simply insert your memory card and play videos on-screen in popular file formats. Then freeze the desired frame and print.

¹ Pages per minute (ppm) speed measured after first page, based on black and colour text patterns in Draft Mode on plain paper. Colour photo in Draft Mode on Premium Photo Paper Glossy measured from start of paper feed. Additional print time will vary based on system configuration, software application and page complexity. See www.epson.com/printspeed for more information about print speed.

² One-year limited warranty to all purchasers; toll-free support and second-year warranty require registration within 60 days of purchase. With registration, Epson provides phone support without charge for the life of the product. Telephone toll charges may apply.

³ Ink fading ratings are based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, displayed in a glass frame under indoor display conditions or in album storage. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, temperature, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee the longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or UV filter or properly store them. See www.wilhelm-research.com for latest information.
