Description:
UltraChrome HD is based on Epson’s famous K3 & HDR ink. It has an aqueous (water based) all-pigment construction that has been designed for professional and commercial print production. The formulation provides an extended gamut from a reduced number of ink cartridges with superior colour accuracy and archival level image stability. Ink dries quickly to produce prints that are water and scratch resistant. The ink set includes Vivid Magenta for brighter blues and pinks as well as Light and Light-Light Black for improved balance with neutral greys, reduce bronzing and minimal colorcasts/colour twist. The HD formulation features improved Matte and Photo Black inks that provide an enhanced Dmax for brighter prints with an enhanced tonal range in both B/W and colour. It also features a new Yellow ink that provides further durability enhancement with increased UV light resistance.
UltraChrome HDX is an expansion of UltraChrome HD ink set. It includes an additional Orange for fine facial tones and lighting effects, as well as Green for superior landscape and environmental imaging. Combined these additional inks extend the colour Gamut up to 98% of the PANTONE® pallet. The ink set also includes an optional Violet that enables expansion out to 99%.
Note: Violet is used in REPLACEMENT of Light Light Black. Customers are recommended to discuss their application needs with their dealer &/or Epson prior to purchase. Vi/LLk selection is made during the initial printer start-up and once set it cannot be changed.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Customers need to update printer firmware to the latest version before inserting these new cartridges for the first time.
The amount of ink remaining in the new cartridges when they are used up may be up to 20% more than the old cartridges. The price of the new cartridges has been reduced by 20% to compensate for this change. Click here for details.
