Epson UltraChrome K3 with Vivid Magenta Inks

Colour printing re-discovered

With Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink you'll achieve a beauty and brilliance for your prints unlike anything you've previously seen from a colour printer.

Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink improves print quality and achieves exceptional colour control, so you can be sure of outstanding grey balance, precise colour control, wide colour gamut, consistent colour and glossy prints that promise excellent longevity and durability.

Superb grey balance and accurate colour control

Until now, light colour inks were used to produce grey midtones and highlights. Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink significantly improves overall grey balance while eliminating colour casts with the introduction of a new colour - Light Light Black, which also decreases colour ink consumption.

Accurate grey balance

Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink uses three blacks to achieve a more stable and accurate grey balance while also allowing for more accurate colour control due to the smaller amount of colour ink used.

Superb grey balance and precise colour control enhance the ICC profile-making process and require minimum retouching to reproduce colours faithful to the original image data.

Wide colour gamut

The high density pigments of Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink help to produce prints with an extremely wide colour gamut. This enables you to reproduce the colours you envisioned at the point of capture.

Glossy prints that have excellent longevity and durability

Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink is a resin coated pigment ink that achieves superb longevity and durability. New resin chemistry along with unique screening algorithms smooths the surface of the paper when ink is applied and thereby dramatically improves print gloss levels.

Real monochrome diigital printing is here

New Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink produces a standard of black and white photograph that you never thought possible from a colour printer. Skin tones come alive and shadows reveal subtleties that were lost on other printers.

Designed for ease of use and fast, cost-effective printing, Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink technology marks a turning point in the history of printing and photography.

Highlights and shadows

The addition of the new light light black ink in the Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink set provides more even gradations in highlights. Shadowed areas also reveal more detail and produce denser blacks - without colour twists or tone jumps.

Smooth tonal gradation

The three different density blacks found in Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink produce smooth gradation without tone jumps. The illustration on the right shows the three levels of ink density in Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink compared with the previous generation of Epson UltraChrome Ink.

Improved depth and richness

The photo black ink in the Epson UltraChrome K3 Ink set has been improved, resulting in a higher D-max of 2.3 (depending on what media is used). This is very useful for reproducing jet black areas. The end result is photos containing a depth and richness never experienced before from a digital colour printer.

Colour toning

The three black inks and low saturation inks (such as light cyan and light magenta) allow for subtle colour toning. Demanding professional photographers will appreciate this feature for producing various types of monochrome images.
