Epson Stylus Pro 3800 17" wide Printer Colorburst Edition

Epson understands that superior image quality, speed, performance, and reliability are all equally important. Found exclusively within Epson printers, our new MicroPiezo AMC print head, Variable sized dot technology, and Active Meniscus Control (AMC) technology combine to deliver unprecedented image quality, iron-clad reliability, and faster print speeds. Unlike thermal-type print heads that use heat to spray droplets onto a page, MicroPiezo print heads use electrical pulses that place smaller ink droplets onto a page. This increased precision eliminates uncontrolled ink spray that leads to non-photographic overspray or satellites‚ associated with thermal technology. MicroPiezo print heads produce higher resolution, smaller dot sizes, and more precise dot shapes and dot placement than thermal technology. The result? Amazing print quality that thermal technology can't match. Furthermore, MicroPiezo print heads are designed to last for the life of your printer.
