Epson Stylus Pro 4800 Printer Overview
Every now and then, a breakthrough comes along changing the way we express ourselves. Not simple improvements upon existing technology, but radical changes giving us new options to express our creative visions.
Introducing the all-new Epson Stylus® Pro 4800.
Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professionals, the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 incorporates a unique 17-inch wide printer design with a breakthrough new 8-color ink technology, forcing us to reconsider what's possible from photographic ink jet printing.
Epson UltraChrome K3™ ink technology represents a turning-point in the history of ink jet printing. Inspired by our past-generations of pigmented ink development, Epson UltraChrome K3 incorporates a new three-level black, along with eight new color pigments dramatically raising the bar for professional color and black and white prints.
Imagine producing archival prints with amazing color fidelity, gloss-level, and scratch resistance, while providing consistently stable colors that significantly outperform lesser ink technologies. Imagine producing professional neutral and toned black and white prints with higher density levels and virtually no metamerism or bronzing.
Even more remarkable, our new high-performance 1-inch wide print head produces an astonishing resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi to deliver a level of image quality and speed that even exceeds our previous best.
Handling virtually any media type in roll or cut-sheet up to 17-inch wide, the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 incorporates a high-capacity paper tray capable of handling cut-sheet media up to 17" x 22". We even incorporated four different ways to load media, including a front-loading straight-through path capable of handling media up to 1.5mm posterboard, giving you the ultimate in media flexibility.
The Epson Stylus Pro 4800 represents a level of technology unprecedented in Epson's history. Combining the extreme precision of a Stylus Pro print engine, along with the extraordinary performance of UltraChrome K3 Ink Technology, results in a print void of any signs of how it was produced. Prepare to be amazed all over again.
Epson Stylus Pro 4800 Printer Specifications
All New 8-Channel Print Head Technology
Print head design capable of handling eight separate ink channels
1-inch wide high-performance print head with 180 nozzles per channel
Maximum Resolution of 2880 x 1440 dpi
Incredibly sharp text and line art
Extremely fine blends and photographic transitions
Variable-Sized Droplet with AMC™ Technology
Produces variable-sized droplets as small as 3.5 picoliter to greatly decrease print times while optimizing photographic quality
Proprietary Active Meniscus Control (AMC) technology precisely controls the curvature of every ink droplet within each nozzle before releasing it onto the media. The result is extremely sharp and accurate placement of ink droplets for outstanding photographic print quality.
Epson PreciseColor™ Technology
In order to ensure consistent printing between multiple Stylus Pro printers of the same model, Epson has enhanced the production process to include colorimetric calibration. This system evaluates and adjusts each printer’s difference at the manufacturing stage, assuring you of consistent color output from printer to printer.
Automatic Print Head Alignment Technology
Built-in sensor reads printed data for highly precise alignments of all color channels
Aligns both single and bi-directional print modes.
Automatic Print Head Cleaning Technology
Built-in sensor reads nozzle check pattern and automatically cleans print head if any problems are found – even partially clogged nozzles

Two User-Exchangeable Black Ink Modes
Printer can utilize two different black ink modes – Photo Black or Matte Black. This innovative solution optimizes the black ink density for various media types, dramatically improving the final print quality.
The standard Photo Black ink mode can be used for any media type with professional results. However, for certain Epson media types such as Velvet Fine Art, Enhanced Matte, and UltraSmooth Fine Art, using the optional Matte Black ink mode instead, will dramatically increase your black optical density for even better print quality.
