TE CH NO LO GY O VE RVIEW
The superiority of Ultra Hi-Definition prints
®
It all starts with Epson’s patented MicroPiezo
technology. With print head nozzles delivering five sizes of ink droplets,
you get more color combinations, sharper detail and smoother gradations
without sacrificing print speed.
Blazing fast print speeds
Due to print head enhancements, all Epson Ultra Hi-Definition printers and
all-in-ones have significant print speed improvements over previous models —
up to four times faster when printing photos and two times faster when
printing documents.
Breakthrough ink for brilliant, long-lasting prints
Claria Hi-Definition Ink is a 6-color, dye-based ink that offers durability
equivalent to or better than lab prints, plus color saturation and brilliance
that surpasses the lab. Offering the ultimate combination of photo quality
and longevity, it’s a major breakthrough in ink technology. Smudge, scratch,
water and fade resistant Claria Hi-Definition Ink is perfect for printing photos
and everyday text documents. Its quick-drying formula enables you to handle
prints immediately after printing. Prints are resistant to scratches. Water spills
can be wiped off without ruining the print. Claria ink prints even resist fading
up to 98 years in a glass frame and about 200 years in an album.**

With a goal of satisfying the most demanding professional photographer, Epson has a legacy of developing industry-leading photo imaging technology that delivers phenomenal results. It’s no wonder Epson is the overwhelming brand of choice
among professional photographers.
Photos that are corrected automatically
When photos are processed in a photo lab, sometimes a lab operator
adjusts output to enhance the photo. All Epson Ultra Hi-Definition printers
include Auto Photo Correction, which analyzes digital photos to determine
if they contain people or landscapes. It then applies the appropriate
optimization to each image area. In addition to balancing subjects and
backgrounds, Auto Photo Correction also automatically corrects color
casting (for example, photos with a blue or gray cast, due to an overcast
sky, or indoor photos that have a green cast because of fluorescent
lighting), backlighting and underexposure†. Some models also support
red-eye removal. The end result? Outstanding digital prints, every time
— automatically. It’s so easy, it’s like having a photo lab technician right
inside the printer — only better!
Exclusive Print by Date function (R380 and RX580 only) Epson Ultra
Hi-Definition printers and all-in-ones include a patent-pending Print by Date
feature that gives customers yet another easy and efficient way to select and
print photos directly from a digital camera memory card, without using
a computer. Print by Date allows you to:
• Easily access all photos taken on a specific date
• Conveniently browse through photos on a memory card. (This is
especially helpful as memory cards become larger in capacity.)
• Quickly find and print photos from specific events
Your photos, your way Layouts include photo proof sheet, wallets, classic
borders and more. Other features include sepia and black-and-white printing.
Photo greeting cards (RX580 only) Use your own photos and text to
create photo greeting cards without a PC. It’s the fast, easy way to send
personalized greetings to family and friends.
Original image without Auto Photo Correction
Epson print with
Auto Photo Correction
Everyday printing made easy
Only Epson Ultra Hi-Definition printers and all-in-ones offer direct CD/DVD
printing and ease-of-use features such as Print by Date.
Direct CD/DVD printing All Epson Ultra Hi-Definition models print directly
onto ink jet printable CDs/DVDs, offering these advantages:
Ease of use — It’s far easier to design a label and print it directly onto
a CD than it is to print a label and try to correctly apply it to a CD. Also,
a custom-printed and designed label is more aesthetically pleasing than
labeling a standard CD with an ink pen. Epson print CD software is
included in every Epson Ultra Hi-Definition printer and all-in-one.
Durability — Adhesive labels aren’t approved by many manufacturers of
CD/DVD players, because there is a possibility the label will unbalance the
disc, bubble or delaminate, and cause damage to the CD or DVD player.
Lower cost — Purchasing CD-R discs and labels can be more costly
than purchasing ink jet printable CDs.
Data integrity — Ink jet printable CDs have a layer barrier between the
disc and the coating designed to receive the ink, ensuring data will
not be destroyed. This is not necessarily the case when writing on a
CD with a ball point ink pen.
An Epson paper for every need
Delivering outstanding output quality, Epson Ultra Hi-Definition printers
and all-in-ones are optimized for the widest array of Epson papers, from
presentation papers to photo papers and even specialty papers (such as
iron-on transfers, photo stickers and more).
