 Epson announces exciting new technology 17"-wide P800 Printer
JVH is now taking advance pre-orders
The workhorse Epson 3880 has been arguably been the world's best 17"-wide sheet feed inkjet printer.  In terms of industry leading image quality, print consistency and stability, media handling, and reliability, no other 17" printer has measured up. 
Until now. 
Enter Epson's all-new Epson SureColor P800 which incorporates new technology Epson UltraChrome HD Ink for extraordinary exhibition-quality prints.  With unprecedented black density and breakthrough Resin Encapsulation Technology, the P800 delivers the richest blacks with an incredible level of sharpness.  Three-level Black Ink technology delivers smooth tonal transitions for the finest black-and-white prints.  High-capacity, individual ink cartridges improve your productivity with fewer user interventions. Advanced media handling allows you to easily print with a wide variety of fine art sheet and roll papers.  Create borderless 4" x 6" up to 17" x 22" prints plus panoramas over 10 feet long.  Whatever you print, the SureColor P800 delivers such dramatically bold images, it sets a groundbreaking new benchmark in photographic quality.  Check out all the specs at http://jvhtech.com/JVH_Info/SureColor_P800_Preview_v1.pdf

What is often unknown is that Epson does not design  a new printer, then an ink set - - it's the other way around.  Epson spends many years developing new technology ink sets, then they design a printer to deliver the new ink.  It's all about the ink.  There is a lot that goes into it. (This is one reason why we never recommend third party inks/gunks  - not only do you get ink that is nowhere near the integrity of the Epson inks, but you will probably hose your thin-film head printer at one point.)

Superior Print Permanence - - Epson UltraChrome new HD ink technology dramatically improves print longevity.  The new ink set is testing north of 200 years archivability.  The nine-color UltraChrome HD inkset with Vivid Magenta reproduces a wide color gamut to produce superb quality prints.  Overall contrast ratio and optical clarity are impressive.  The highest black density produces deep rich blacks and ultra-smooth tonal gradation.  Black pigments are 1.5 times denser than previous generation ink sets.    Gloss differential on glossy media is virtually imperceptible.  In addition, the new HD inks give your prints almost a 3-D look.  You gotta' see this new image quality !

Easy-to-use - Featuring a large 2.7 inch color touch panel, the printer is simple to set up and manage, even without a PC.  Exceptional Wi-Fi Direct wireless connectivity makes it easy to print from smartphones, tablets and computers.

Flexible printing - Twin paper paths enable A3+ printing on a wide variety of photo and fine art papers, canvas and thick media, while the machine's option roll-paper capability is perfect for high-impact panoramic images.
Support for Direct Printing from Smart Phones and Tablets - Apple  AirPrint,  Google Cloud Print, Epson iPrint App - Available for Apple iOS and Android operating systems.
Optional Rear 17-Inch Roll Media Input
- Ideal for printing on roll-based photographic and fine art media types
- Supports both 2-inch and 3-inch cores
 
The new Epson SureColor P800 is the new benchmark standard for photographic imaging excellence.  Epson will start shipping the printers beginning June 30.  If you want to order one, please just contact us and we will slap you on the pre-order list.
