Key Advantages

The Epson Stylus Pro 3880 delivers exceptional print quality with its MicroPiezo AMC print head and UltraChrome K3 ink system. It offers excellent color accuracy and wide color gamut due to the 9-color ink set including Vivid Magenta. The printable media thickness support up to 1.5mm enhances its versatility for fine art prints. It supports both roll and sheet media for flexible printing options. The inclusion of spectro-instrument technology helps maintain consistent color accuracy for professional use. The 17-inch wide format capability balances detailed output with manageable size, ideal for studios and print shops.

Limitations

The printer's speed is moderate compared to some high-end commercial printers, making it less optimal for high-volume production. Its large physical size may require a dedicated workspace. The use of specialized UltraChrome K3 inks can be costly with consumable replacement. Limited to 17-inch maximum print width, it may not suit needs for very large format prints. The machine requires careful maintenance of print heads for optimal performance. Though designed for professional use, it may not integrate smoothly with all generic printing workflows or software solutions.
