The printer that brings photography
out of the darkroom

Taking care of quality

Quality, flexibility and efficiency
are built in. The eight-cartridge
system includes Red and Blue inks
which create a colour gamut
rivalling that of silver halide and
adds depth to natural colours such
as sky, sea, sunsets and autumn
leaves. At the same time, the
latest EPSON UltraChrome
Hi-Gloss™ pigment inks recreate
perfect tones that will be lightfast
for up to 80 years*.

Big resolution, small dots

Photos and reprints look superb,
even when enlarged up to
borderless A4 size, because this
printer can achieve an amazing
resolution of up to 5760 optimised
dpi on suitable media. At the same
time, the finest detail is achieved
and fast print speeds maintained
by using a range of dot sizes,
including a minute droplet of
just 1.5 picolitres.

Performance without the
complications

When it comes to bringing unique
ideas to life, photographers have
extremely high standards.
Traditionally, these have only been
met by photo labs or complex
darkroom processing. Now it’s time
to step out of the darkroom and
put your trust in EPSON, the
recognised photo printing experts.

The world of photography is changing. Now there’s a printer
that offers photographers a level of quality and flexibility that’s
more than a match for the lab or darkroom. The EPSON Stylus
Photo R800 is a desktop photo printing solution that produces
supreme archival quality matte or gloss prints, while you retain
all the creative control that makes your vision unique.

Total control – from capture
to print

The digital format has
revolutionised photography, but
the thrill of watching your photos
emerge from your printer is just as
rewarding as it was in your
darkroom. However, now you can
experience the same emotions,
but in the daylight.

Once connected to your computer
you can perfect your images using
on-screen photo editing software
including EPSON PhotoQuicker, an
easy print layout tool. The digital
format also lets you store your
photos safely on your computer
and print as many copies as you
like, when you like, in a huge
variety of formats.

With EPSON, make a seamless
transition into the digital world,
and bring your back catalogue
along too. With an EPSON scanner
such as the EPSON Perfection 4870
Photo, scan, edit and even restore
old film and photos. Whether
originals were captured on film or
digital camera, the EPSON Stylus
Photo R800 produces superb
results, and you can even print
directly onto CD faces and create
truly personalised archives.

Perfect results – Matte and Gloss

EPSON’s dedication to satisfying
photo experts is underlined by
the development of EPSON Gloss
Optimizer technology. This is a fine
tuning tool designed for optimising
highly durable gloss pigment ink
prints. The photographic result is
a smooth and even gloss finish,
comparable to silver halide, but
with a longer lifetime.

Also, the finest results are achieved
on both Matte or Gloss media,
because the printer features two
different blacks that optimise
performance for each, automatically
applied by the driver when you
select paper type. Of course, the
ability to replace each individual
cartridge also maximises cost
efficiency.
