Comments

Japanese equivalent of R2400.

8-color (CcMmYKkk) A3/tabloid prosumer printer using "UltraChrome K3" inkset. Successor to the 2100/2200. Light light black produces very smooth grayscale prints. Interchangeable matte black and photo black inksets; matte black ink must not be used on glossy paper. Maximum resolution is 2880x2880 (Epson claims 5760x1440; Gutenprint uses 2880x2880). Minimum drop size is 3.5 pl. Support level is somewhere between partial and mostly (additional tuning may be required).
