It is designed to offer photographers and artists a wide range of A3+ prints using our UltraChrome K3 with Vivid Magenta ink, to meet their diverse needs. Neil Wilson, business manager at Epson UK, says: “We launched the R3000 after listening to customers’ feedback. In addition to improving the grey balance and eliminating colour casts, this combination of blacks creates a smoother tonal range with a natural look, perfect for portraits. Either a standard photo or matte black is employed and switched automatically by the printer to suit the media used, along with light black and light light black to create true black and white images. This inkset offers unbeatable greyscale reproduction – important for both colour and black and white prints – thanks to its three densities of black. And the high-capacity, 25.9ml ink cartridges allow medium print runs to be completed while optimising cost per page.Įpson’s reputation for superior photo quality combined with its advanced UltraChrome K3 with Vivid Magenta inkset means each print is consistently true-to-life. Viewing media instructions and checking ink levels is simple with the 2.5-inch colour LCD. A front-loading fine art paper feed makes insertion easier, reducing the likelihood of damage and removing the need for space behind the printer. In response to photographers and designers’ feedback, Epson has developed the R3000’s new features with convenience in mind. This printer makes professional-quality output accessible, with its convenient high-capacity inks which are perfect for medium print runs, and fits even the smallest desk space with its compact footprint.
