Epson UltraChrome K3 printers
Epson has announced a line of professional photo printers with a new printing-ink technology called UltraChrome K3 that uses an 8-colour inkset. Initial reports suggest these printers produce some of the best results yet from inkjet printers. The Epson Stylus Photo R2400 is the smallest, producing prints up to 13″ wide and is expected to retail for $850, and will be joined by the increasingly larger format 4800, 7800 and 9800 models. The printers have both USB 2.0 and Firewire interfaces.
