When You’re Hot, You’re HOT

Epson’s variable drop-on-demand piezo Stylus Pro 4880, 7880, 9880, and 11880 machines—now in beta testing in North America—use the manufacturer’s UltraChrome K3 pigment inks with Vivid Magenta for improved image processing. “Our 8-color inkset including light cyan, light magenta, and three different levels of black is far more suitable for proofing than other extended inksets,” Radogna says. “Now, our new Vivid Magenta-enhanced UltraChrome K3 ink can be used to simulate quite accurately, most of the flexo printing process as well.” Epson expects to begin shipping its new family of inkjet proofers in October.
